Recoil is massive for me for some reason, I get good results but it makes the preparation harder, zeroing, practice etc. I shot a sika hind at about 400 yards a while back with my mates 6.5x55...

Shoot to kill and the animals won’t know the difference. Since I bought my PRC earlier this year, I’ve shot 27 deer from 31 shots, from ranges 80m to 560m. The furthest any ran after being shot was...

I have the 284 for hunting and a 6.5x55 for paper (and the eldms for both), I've always been skeptical about the 6.5 at distance but I was surprised by the numbers. Outside the size of the wound...

I have never slept well in the hills as always uncomfortable. Purchased a neo air some years ago thinking that was the solution, it’s a slippery, narrow bloody thing. Still wins on all accounts for...

Ridgeline, Stoney Creek, Hunters Element, Bushbuck et al. All the same shit with a different label. Avoid disappointment and buy something decent at the get go.

But it all comes down to the fact that having expensive gear doesn't make you a snob. You're only a snob when you look down your nose at others with "lesser gear". But snobbery also goes the other...
