This is a large part of it. It can also identify the age of the rifle. When you have several tikkas in the same calibre in the same stock etc, then which one is yours and which one your mates? Serial...

Yep. Zero 3" high at 100 and hold 3" low at 100 when shooting, hold dead on at 200 and hold 8" high at 300. Pretty straight forward with 150-174 grn.

Surprisingly I thought that the suppressor would be black as anything after just a few rounds but looking in it with a torch it's not, R17 seems a strange powder being on the slow burning end of the...

Moa Hunter, Thanks, I agree handling errors are perhaps excusable if it is someone not licensed/trained in firearms handling, less so by a licensed person, but then again currently there has been...

I shot heaps of Reds and Tahr around the 350 yard mark with my .243. Some a bit further out to 400 or so. Knowing your shit and having a bit of patience are important. I've had no less stuff...

Big difference between 400 and 688. 688 with a 243 is stunt shooting in my book. Save it for the paper or steel.

Yes a good shot. Now I will put my grumpy old prick hat on :) Typical Yanky high spine shot, a 223 in the same spot would have had the same result. Nice how they pan away straight away, so you...

They were good to deal with, (Sutherlands) would fix ejectors and similar little problems, for bugger all. I blew the ejector off of a Savage Stevens one time, walked in there with the rifle ( no bag...
