    Beretta Kick Off Replacement Pad

    Gidday,

    My butt pad on my A350 has started to disintegrate as they all seem to. Are they easy enough to purchase from Beretta NZ?

    Cheers

    If you do the maths on 708 using 162 ELDM at around max load of 2208, you’ll find it’s fine for way out there. Normally doing around the 2500 fps mark out of 16”.

    They lost a lot of barrels in the caliber bans in western Aussie. Pretty much every caliber on the list of banned ones were ones that they shot. Must’ve been gutting.

    Bench rest shooters have bugger all contact with the rifle. Free recoil can be the most accurate way of shooting I’m pretty sure. Happy to told otherwise.
