Not as far as I know maybe your thinking of the alloy shim? My one is one of about 1000 made by Sako. Well the barrel is, Sako assembled all the M28/30s. Using Sig and Tikka barrels mainly. This...

Sako M-28 Nagant Built on a Hex receiver from the 1800's. Bit of a rare bird, bore is shiny so should be a good shooter.

I did actually make one and carried it around for a while. Didn't cost too much to put together. In the end, I decided it was just another bit of unnecessary shit to carry round the bush. Still take...

Stock design certainly makes a difference. In the 80's I bought a Midland 308 and it booted like an angry stag. Yet my Ruger M77 270's felt recoil was way lighter. And; the 270 was using .5gr under...

Yes there is a difference, I had a synthetic stock on my 300wsm with a good quality limbsaver. Eventually I swapped it out for a Boyd's laminated stock. The difference wasn't noticeable when I was...

Long answer: Assuming the stock shape tis the same and the OAL weight is the same, there is no difference. For felt recoil, itis the weight of the rifle that matters, and where that weight is, muzzle...

Rabbits are straightforward because 1) they can be held in one hand, 2) you can skin them with one strong pull of the skin and 3) you can dislocate the ball joint on the back legs with minimum force...

It is good to see someone eat humble pie and admit a mistake like this. Most would probably not. I hope to never be guilty of such an offence!! As for checking a rifle is clear, I have a pet hate...

Stock shape, especially comb, plus weight and recoil pad design/type are biggest factors from my experience. Wood is the original carbon fibre when you think about it.

Many years ago, I had a small business where I made custom items for clients. Busy in winter, quiet in summer. A number of those clients paid in cash on ordering and I stored the cash away until I...

With all the interest in night vision, I thought it might be worth while posting a video showing the performance when shooting in mid-day sun. This video was shot using a PARD 008 at native 6x power...
