    XR500 Here is my advice based on what you have posted: you would like to keep the rifle and make it a project as opposed to selling it. Start by keeping the barrel and determining the twist rate,...

    I dont mind heavy guns but I would rather a light one. I had to carry 78kg, 20km through some mountains last year. Character building and knee wrecking in equal measure. This time we will shoot...

    Lovely looking rifle alright, made back when everything was still made well. Clearly its a shooter. I wouldnt hesitate to shoulder shoot a red deer with the 95 nbt. They are much tougher than the...
