    I think the ballance makes up for the weight plus no mag and bolt to loose, great for hunting from side by sides too.

    I've been on a 223 "bent" for some years, seeking a rifle that by my measure is 100% suitable for plinking, hunting and especially culling. For these jobs it needs to be reasonably accurate for not...

    Not too far fetched - slugging and cutting your barrel at a 'tight' spot is fairly well known. Probably not going to affect normal hunting accuracy though.

    On the other hand when you over torquing your muzzle device, it will fix the bore diameter opening up problem ;) See video from Brownells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8BAOMcSJGQ

    trapperjohn liked post by MB On thread : Bush rifles
    Not to push the OP in one direction or the other, but as you can see I own both a Bergara BA-13 and a Tikka and look at the difference in overall length. The barrel on the Bergara is 0.5 inch longer...

    I guess if social media was around when rifle scopes first arrived on the hunting scene there would have been a similar discussion about the ethical use of scopes?

    I agree. But I actually hate the word ethical. Often people use the word ethical to reassure themselves about something they have done which may be controversial.
