OK cheers for the new replies and information. Yes the heart lung is my go to shot when the head or neck isn't an option. Used a 308 for 30 years, so I got a bit lazy tracking deer after the shot...

7mm08 The Nosler 140g BT and Sierra Gameking in the same weight are ultra reliable harvesters of game animals, and with their stubby ogives they don’t decrease powder volume as much as other...

The 52 Targex are brutal. 280 yards. Red spiker. And there are still people who say the .223 isn't any good on deer. 239540

Greetings, My picks would include AR2206H for its sheer flexibility. I use it more than any other powder including reduced loads in my old soldiers. AR2209 would work well in the Creedmoor and even...

A .17HMR cannot be made as quiet as a .22. It does piss all over it in every other way.

2.5-10x40mm I would rate it at least as good as the VX3 4.5-14x40 I had. They are an under rated scope IMO. Did you get my PM?

I actually had an 85 finnlight 2, which never actually made it to my safe before I decided I'd rather have a rifle half the price with twice as much character.

Thanks for your input. I didn't think there was a problem with the rifle at all, and have no intention of altering it! I guess I was just surprised at how much the noise wasn't reduced by the...
