    Interesting. I only shot a few fallow with them, so it's possible I'm judging them unfairly there, but was definitely seeing a lot of pencilling and delayed kills on wallabies.

    Mine was a pretty...

    I got really good accuracy with the Hornady 68gr HPBT from my Savage Lightweight, but found they just pencilled straight through wallabies and didn't perform too impressively on fallow either. Just a...

    Phwoarr $5000 is a whole lot of rifle. I could work out how to spend 2k on a rifle, and another 2k on a scope, but 5k just on a rifle is way out of my zone.

    My Stihl MS310 (~60cc?) seems to cut pretty well, but either it's thirsty or it has a small gas tank because I'm lucky if a tank lasts me half an hour. Dad's old Stihl 033 has about 2/3 of a tank...

    I've got one. Reasonable for the money. I lose shooting light 10-15 min before better scopes, and it's slightly low in contrast at full zoom, but otherwise it's a decent scope, image seems clear...

    I sanded my barrel channel out a bit, also set the action screws surprisingly loose, and it halved the group size in my .22lr 452. I think I'm under an inch at 100 with the right ammo now. (Mine also...

    Suppressed .300 BLK firing 220 grain subsonic :ORLY:

    Trajectory of a 22LR, but that's all you need bush hunting, right? And about the same noise as a 22LR, too.
