   I’ve got a 5 & 6. Don’t dial with either I have the BRH recticle on the Z6, all I can say is I’ve never had such an easy scope to zero. When you crank it 2 cm it’s 2 cm. Holds zero very well, I...

   You don't need a 7mm and a .308. Your .30/06 would be excellent as your main hunting rifle, but any standard cartridge in the 7mm to .30/06 range is perfectly adequate. If you did need another...

    Boiled linseed will be fine - mix a tiny amount of turps with first coat-linseed will soak in better - suggest light sand first to remove any dirt etc
