    The ones Ive seen really struggling to sell are the Sakos with swapped stocks, barrels and stuff.

    For me I usually expect this sort of thing to be around 50% of new value in what you listed as good condition. I think currently the market is volatile and bargains can be had for buyers. Even the...

    Mrfants liked post by Ground Control On thread : The secondhand rifle market
    I’m in two minds about buying secondhand firearms….. All of the new guns I’ve ever bought have worked perfectly out of the box , been acceptably accurate, done their job without any hassle or...

    Yeah. I know Im fortunate. Mostly go to the charity (40 odd for '25 thus far) but I keep the back steaks cos I cant bear to see them minced or diced. Friends and family love them.

    Not me, but friend who I’ve hunted with a lot in the past. He came out with me last Friday. Whats interesting is he uses PMC Gold 55 grn and swears by it. Who am I to argue- every time I’m with him...

    If you are using 73-80 grn ELDM type bullets the limiting factor is enough velocity to make the bullet expand on the target. This is usually regarded to be 1,800 fps. With my 80grn starting off at...

    Mrfants liked post by MB On thread : Sighting in rifle without a Police callout
    I think your best bet is to talk to the neighbours if possible. If not, develop an interest in subsonic ammunition. It's never 5 shots! I zeroed a 7mm08 on a similar property once. No safety issues...

    Why don't you just pop in to your couple of neighbours and let them know what you are going to do. That way you should not annoy or frighten them and they will know they are not endangered..... ...

    Mrfants liked post by Juicy On thread : Best reticle for holdover FFP
    The Arken ones spring to mind as an option. They seem to be well-rated for their price, as far as I can tell from random internet watchings. You also have the option of dialling if you don't want to...
