We need more of this - a pro active approach to give the hunting/shooting fraternity somewhere to sight in their rifles, that is safe and controlled. Without having to find some spot up the local...

Interesting thread, which rings bells with me. I have 4 centrefire rifles and always reach for the cheapest and least flash for a hunt. It’s a .284 Win converted T3 with a factory barrel, stock...
