Greetings Marty Henry, I think that all of the CAC equipment was worn out, one of the reasons they folded. I don't think they made all of their components in the later years either. There is simply...

It works at a very small scale so economy of scale can only help. We all really like flinging bits of copper and lead at stuff. You make an excellent point regarding Trueflight. They are...

Back to the Berry Orchard tonight, with a very ominous looking sky approaching. I shot two rabbits soon after my arrival, then the skys opened as a thunder storm hit. I took shelter under the...

1:8 Tikka. Standard .223 mag @ 2.3" OAL. The 77 Sierra TMK are designed for short AR mags so work well seated in.

Im probably starting to repeat myself now... Modern hand-loading and decent projectiles has made a big difference to the 222/223, and with the .223 faster twists and heavier bullets too. When...

For a long while I used Dads 1960's Hertel & Ruess 2.75x 26.5 post and rail with a 26mm steel tube. It was on his Sav 99. A few years back it started to cloud up, (5-10yrs) I tracked down the...

I personally wouldn't rely on any steel tubed scope older than the 1990s. Some of the fixed power swaro's from the early 90s look like older scopes but are nitrogen filled I think?

Thanks - that's a nice way of thinking. A 6x42 might be a good solution. There are a couple of beauty euro 6x's for sale in aussie just now. A 6x Leupy would work too.
