    JRW87 liked post by gundoc On thread : Slipping scope
    These rings were sold under the Zero brand in the '80's & 90's. They are very weak and I have seen several instances where the clamp screws have been over-tightened, stripping the threads and having...

    Maca49 liked post by gundoc On thread : Welding to or porting 12gauge barrel
    Suppressors on shotguns, particularly 12 ga, are more trouble than they are worth. They add a lot of weight forward which inhibits your swing, and they are not very quiet, even with subsonic loads. ...

    Scouser liked post by gundoc On thread : Aussie moving to NZ
    You will love Otago. Plenty of local hunting, few people, good roads, close to other good hunting areas (South Westland, Stewart Island, Fiordland). Queenstown is nice but a bit 'touristy' and...

    A 7mm Rem Mag with a good suppressor will do everything you need, and you will not have the aggravation or expense of trying to source ammo or brass for the WSM's, SAUM's or other orphans. Everyone...

    10-Ring liked post by gundoc On thread : Trigger pull weight.
    When I was in business the lightest weight I would do for a hunting trigger was 2.5lbs (with a creep-free crisp break). The reason was that in winter conditions it is very difficult to feel the...

    Desert Rat liked post by gundoc On thread : Can o worms
    You cannot go past a 3 litre HiLux diesel manual. I prefer the Surf, but the double cabs are as good only they cost more. Something in the late 1990's with no more than 220-230,000 K's will last...

    Woody liked post by gundoc On thread : excessively tight screws
    Over-tightened screws is a common problem. An easy way to get them loose (assuming they are not loctited) is to get a solid support under the part and find a neat fitting screwdriver. Give the top...

    Don't bother with wildcats, they are more trouble than they are worth. Get a good quality 22" barrel fitted in either 7mm-08 or .308 (shouldn't exceed $800). Either will do the job perfectly well...
