Hi Hunter_Nick, I have a 6x45 on a Sako A1, that shoots superbly with anything fed from 55gns to 100gns. The 6x45 is an unsung cartridge and I can't figure out why it has not been commercialised....

I have one that I think has wonky action screws or wonky stock. It shoots like a laser though so I prefer to live with the fact rather than interfere with accuracy of this nature. These guns are a...

Also depends on what barrel length you require. The lightweight version (usually has the lightening cuts on the action) is a 20" barrel. The standard profile is 22" long from the factory.

I am using a howa with a heavy barrel for FPR shooting and another one that is an Alpine Mountain for hunting. Every time I use my hunting rifle to 12 shots strings in the FPR class I got better...

Nah, my alpine mountain rifle is accurate AF. Unless you plan on shooting long strings (the thinner barrel heats up quicker) get the lightweight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is the paitence that is the hardest quality to bring to the table as we all have a tendency to want it done NOW. There is absolutely nothing quite like the reward in satisfaction of hunting with...
