    I think that vx1 looks perfect on it, not out or proportion at all.and realistically is all the scope you need

    Military use? I could look it up, but prefer to imagine Rourke's drift but elephants instead of zulus

    I've been near a bare muzzle .308 that short when it went off talk about loud! Then there was the muzzle flash visible in full sun, it would be illuminating at last light.

    IamHackmeat liked post by Marty Henry On thread : Who got the last laugh? You decide
    Good write up and honest about the misses. You don't mention calibre but I'm picking 708, 308 or similar by the drop you mention. Zeroing at 2 and a half or 3 inches high at 100 should give you...

    I actually like cock on closing, it makes extraction and ejection easier and was chosen for some military rifles as it's less tiring to operate for a prolonged period which admittedly is unlikely for...

    It's interesting that we are a bit vigilant re bulk powder but perhaps less so with loaded ammunition. Plenty of 80 or so years old mil surplus ammunition keeps appearing and getting used.

    The Mrs got me a primos trigger stick for Christmas nice girl. Quite pricey but not as much as the putter she got in return. Very impressive, it recommends not using them as walking sticks but the...

    I can't seem to get any small game for the pot with my 220 swift no matter what the range.

    My parker hale safari won't, and I've seen a featherlight Winchester plus several others which do the same. It's to do with the size and shape of the extractor. I also have a Husqvarna that will feed...

    I know it's target shooting but how many of us could do that with a scoped rifle, bipod, rear bag or all the other stuff at our disposal?

    Speed isn't necessarily the answer to getting to 300 without the need for turret adjustments or holdover, zeroing distance is also an answer as said above. A 3-9 is perfect for point and shoot ...

    Micky Duck liked post by Marty Henry On thread : 6 Creedmoor
    There is another probable reason for the new "wonderkin" cartridges like the creedmores, and that's to do with ammunition makers. Making heavy bullets to meet part of a market is only going to annoy...

    Isn't the main difference the twist rate? Put a fast twist barrel in a 243 and there'd be bugger all difference. Ok there's a bit of refinement in the case geometry and in the 50s when the 243 was...
