   Knocking over Tahr, deer and hoppers out to sensible distances quite happily with my go to rifle - the mighty .243. No need to carry an anti aircraft gun, sell it and use your .308 until you croak....

   I was using a 7RM for alpine stuff But have stepped down to 280 rem so I could have more manageable recoil in a light weight rifle. A 6.5 would have been an even better idea But i wanted to run the...

   When you start getting out around 4-500 and beyond its impact speeds, retained energy and wind drift that start becoming important. That's where the more efficient cartridges assist the shooter. Most...

   Rifle setup does make a difference; however I've had S&B PMII, Leupold Mk6 and Mk4 (600-850gm scopes) on top of rifles that are 2.5-2.7kg bare and they balance fine, possibly it's not set up right as...

   you said longest shot has been 410 yards.......the humble .308 or mighty poohseventy would do that all day long with one hand tied behind back....sometimes I reckon we overthink shit.

   Reducing rifle weight will make your offhand shooting worse not better everything else being equal. Practise, particularly with a 22 will probably reward you better than changing rifles. I...

    Another option is you could shorten the RM? It will then do your close quarter stuff more easily whilst still having ample going for it in the open country. I am loving my RM in this form at the...

    Just a Leupold VX3i 3.5-10x42 CDS. Not quite as good optically and a smaller eye box but much lighter and good enough.
