After shooting a few thousand goats in the bush I’ll confidently say the AR was fastest for multiple targets followed by BLR 223 then bolt action. Tried Troy pump lost it in confiscation before I...

2x and some 3x scopes pick up a bare rifle barrel. Red dot too if mounted low. If you’re really noticing this you’re probably not concentrating on the target enough. I certainly don’t notice on my...

As MD states above, it’s not all about speed. You’ve got to be accurate as well. I’m a tightarse with ammo so don’t shoot unless I’m on target. Possession me off if I have to shoot something twice...

Sold the BLR to a mate after he kept pestering me for it, stupid decision. I would say it was maybe about 1/2 second per aimed shot slower than AR. Didn’t have the mag capacity and was slower to...

Alternate with scope on 223 from time to time when goat shooting. Tend to use it on wet days, lenses can get wetter before it’s a hassle to see dot. Shoot with both eyes open which helps too.

Have had a Howa 1500 stainless in 223 since the steal-back. Used every week mainly on goats, bush stalking . Not particularly fastidious about cleaning and it hasn’t been particularly rust prone.
