I don't have a problem with the guy or the test it's self, more they echo chamber that often surrounds the tests.
When you see people asking for advice and every single thread turns into "buy a...

Well that one scope model does.
Rokslide is an interesting place, definitely a lot of good info to be found there but there are also some very noisy bubbles of people, especially around that whole...

You don't see too many reviews on Sightron scopes in general, the PLR 6-24 for the most part has flown under the radar.
This is one of the few reviews I've seen, sounds like it's a nice upgrade over...

Some people just want to be left alone.

If the Police have no reason to suspect you of a crime and have no right to search your vehicle, then they shouldn't be asking to look at your guns.
Your...

I sent and email to the FSA folks asking about shipping a barrel (a pre-fit but not attached to a rifle) and shipping a rifle away for a re-barrel.
In both instances they said it was not an...

Do you know if a chamber and threaded barrel a triggering event?

Just hold over at 10x where the reticle calibrated.
Or buy an FFP scope.

Anything inside of 200m probably doesn't need any wind holds unless shooting 223, but you should always be considering it.
The wind above the gully will always be faster than what it feels/looks,...

2mph wind is probably not enough.
6mph is a pretty standard light breeze, 3mph is probably the minimum most people will start thinking they need to hold for wind.

If you are only going to write...

I thought it was a stupid video, and only told everyone hat they already knew. That 308 was 300-400fps slower than 300wm unless you make a dangerously high pressure load.

I thought perhaps they...

I developed two loads with 2209 and 130 ELD-Ms in my 6.5cm, at 42.5 and 44gr. I think the 44gr load was a little spicy but I worked up to it and wasn't getting wny major pressure signs.

A max of...

Is this a format like the US NRL hunter, where you need to locate, range and shoot the targets under the time limit or are the target locations and distances known?

Unless you are shooting things very very close (10m and less) you don't really need 1x.

I think 2x on the low end is all you need practical, 3x is even fine if you you have a decent FOV, but 2x is...

NOTE: Not advice but it's what I do.
Based on trying to avoid wasting components, multiple range trips and needing to pull bullets.

I tend to lean on the side of not wasting components rather...

43.5gr 2209 and 140 ELD/AMAX worked well in two 260 Tikkas I had/have. 2.800" COAL.

I'd imagine around 42-44gr of 2209 would be a very safe beet to start load development.

It sounds like the trend in the US is starting to go away from fast and light bullets and back to heavy and slow.

Turns out I was right to use stick with 6.5CM and 147s.

If I were to build a...

My 3-15 PST only gives me 14mils (approx 35moa) with a 20moa base, the 5-25 has a little less elevation travel so I think you'd need some cant in your mount.

I had a 5-25 PST, from memory with...

Most scopes around $2000 are pretty good these days, the main thing to avoid is the really big magnification ranges, stick to a 4x, 5x, 6x etc and you shouldnt have an issue.
The Leupold VX3 series...

As others have mentioned, 25cal has grown a lot in popularity. Both Berger and Hornady do some very high BC hunting and target bullets now, that in many ways are a better choice than the equivalent...

Definitely don't need QD mounts, or even a torque wrench to get a repeatable zero when switch scopes around.

I've used NF, Spuhr, Contessa and Reknagle rings and found them all to return to zero...

If you have a carbon barrel and carbon stock there isn't much you can do to easily drop weight other than in the scope.

The rifle is just over 10lb which honestly isn't a bad stop to be. It's...

STC I heard ACT said there was going to be a 6month review and that it'd be completed this year, haven’t heard if a date has been set yet or not.

Have you ever sold anything on Trademe or even worse, Facebook market place?

There are some pretty special people on this planet.....

Yeah back blast is horrible.
I had one of your TT brakes that while effective, I didn't enjoy shooting with it.
That along with scarring my neighbors cows (echoed very badly where I shoot) made me...

Kiwi Greg Have you compared your brakes to any of the newer US made brakes?
I used to see yours come up in comparisons a few years ago but haven’t seen them for a while.

I saw someone claim one...
