There is no need for anything longer than 20" for a 308. 16" only for a dedicated, or at least mostly, bush rifle. Between 18 and 20 is probably the sweet spot. Mine is 19" used as an alrounder. I...

Bella did a neat thing yesterday. I fluffed a standing shot at 100 yards and hit a fallow spiker through the third rib. The sound and sight picture gave me a sinking feeling. It was in quite thick...

There's a lot of variations on the old traditional meat hunting carry method, but this one looks interesting. One things for sure, the older you get, the heavier the animals get, especially after a...

My 10 year old was given a Tikka M55 in .243 for his birthday back in June. He lives and breathes deer stalking and has shot 6 to date . Fair play to him he doesn't want to shoot " easy farm deer" ....
