    Great thread to stumble into.. My model 7 XCR. Fairly uncommon in NZ but one of the greats. Factory SS, Fluted with a slightly heavier profile barrel than others. Carbon Senator Stock and couple...

    I'm a big fan of the Howa ( had two & they both shot great ) Like Ryan said - a little aquicultural but amazing value for money Here's my 308, 150BT's doing 2790 fps ( & the tube is starting to...

    Hunter_Nick liked post by Tentman On thread : Old Tikka T3 270 - I dunno
    And this is the second 10 shot group at 100M. 282071 I think I might give up and just run a Tikka 270 . . . PS, I cocked up using Ballistic X and the group actually measures at 0.75 MOA

    Hunter_Nick liked post by Stocky On thread : .284 ELD-X Close Range Blow Up
    It's to be expected entry wound is bigger theres way more energy imparted there at high impact less left. The hornady eld bullets have a very short neck length (the distance taken before expansion...

    Yep, 150 ELDX is ideally suited to 708.

    Hunter_Nick liked post by Ryan_Songhurst On thread : What scope for my 308
    This. Brilliant scopes for a dedicated do it all hunting rifle. I've had all sorts of flashy fancy scopes with knobs and shit sticking off them and once I started using these I'm hooked. Simple,...

    I'm a commercial joiner by trade and have used hundreds of litres of Wests System over the last 40 years Simply wouldn't use anything else

    Hunter_Nick liked post by whanahuia On thread : Just get a .270
    Yeah. What struck me though is these guys are not liking the recoil. It seems that really these calibres are special purpose. Not all round hunting rifles because of their bullet weights and...

    What would you prefer? A beautiful woman that always has a headache? Or one that's average, but performs most nights?

    Hunter_Nick liked post by Ryan_Songhurst On thread : So I was perusing/window shopping for a "lightweight" .243 when.... (Grail gun?)
    To be honest (and some of this is from personal experience..) I think that there's some darker forces at play here when you boil it right down, maybe something to do with ADHD or similar..? I think a...

    Hunter_Nick liked post by Jakegreen On thread : DPT braked cans
    I have done a fair bit of testing with Braked end caps on my recoil sled. They are very effective at reducing recoil and keeping you on target after the shot etc. Around 50% reduction on a magnum...

    Hunter_Nick liked post by DPT On thread : Barrel length vs suppressor length
    An extra inch of suppressor provides significantly more sound reduction than an extra inch of barrel. For example, 7 baffles on an 18-inch barrel ends up about the same overall length as 4 baffles on...

    Hunter_Nick liked post by gimp On thread : Barrel length vs suppressor length
    I'd speculate that 20mm of additional baffle muzzle forward would reduce sound pressure level by more than 20mm of additional bore. The volume and gas flow disruption is greater in a suppressor...
