Well after however many years of Forum members banging on about fast twist .243s, Tikka has actually gone and done it. I read elsewhere that they have changed their .243 Win twist from 1:10” to 1:8”....

A mate of mine has one of those baby pruning saws, it really kicks arse. Perfect for pruning in the orchard. I've seen him cut 4 inch thick branches with it and it rips through it no worries. From...

Yeah, get your eyes off that Miroku and the Ruger No.1 at Kelly Country. I fully intend to win Lotto soon and both those rifles will be mine, all mine! (insert evil laugh).

Check out earth sea sky, NZ made high end mountaineering and backpacking clothing. It's outstanding. I personally use the Energy as a baselayer and Flash pants. (Have used a lot of firstlite in...

I've always had the impression that .22WMR is an inherently inaccurate cartridge. This maybe an unfair view. Either way, I wish ammunition manufacturers would get their shit together. Rimfire targets...

I'd like to see an entirely un-injured set of lungs, heart, aorta, spine out of a deer that has been shot thus, to demonstrate that it's possible. I've got a high degree of scepticism that it is...

It's a nice thought, except that a .223 with good heavy bullets does kill deer of all shapes and sizes at all normal hunting ranges perfectly acceptably, with no recoil, quiet report, a light short...

Poor performance can happen with any bullet, but in this day and age it doesn't make any sense to be using 55gr bullets in a .223 with a fast twist barrel. The heavier 70-80gr bullets work a lot...

You certainly have to hit them in the right place. Regardless of caliber. But you do get a margin of error with the heavier .223 bullets. Here's an example from a couple of days ago. Head shot...
