    If you don't have a lever gun, you need to buy one. End of discussion. (Calibre is up to you, but I live at the high end of the spectrum, 44 mag, 45-70)

    +1 FP above... :) If you are after a classic lever action experience and your range is to 200m then I would go for either the Winchester model 94 or the Marlin 336 - both in 30-30. These are the...

    I bought a Marlin 336 30/30 last year, absolutely love it, it’s the complete opposite aesthetically to my plasticy Tikka which I value for its practicality but have no pride in ownership. What...

    I recently got a little citadel .44 mag. Since I got it I haven't taken any of my other rifles out. Can have it slung over my shoulder all day if I'm working, hangs low so doesn't get caught on...

    For me give it a good clean before you sight it in, and then when finished job done. Most people do more harm cleaning than good. I've followed the book on new barrel break in before, and a lot of...

    Yes. I have a Hardy 300saum barrel and a Trueflight .223 and they are both excellent. Ive never heard a bad thing said about Vulcan barrels either. One caution though is it is now damn expensive...

    Another in the safe is a 20 Vartarg which is essentially the Rem 221 Fireball necked to 20 cal and it will run the 35gn Berger to 3735fps in the Rem XR100 BR single shot action and bull barrel....

    Purchased a 375WSM. 300WSM necked up to 375. Working up a load. Should end up with 250gn going about 2500fps out of a 17inch barrel. 226774

    If you get a .243 you might shoot your life and never come across any limitations - after years worth of it killing red deer, and others doing the same with a .223, I am still amazed at people who...
