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...
Whatever your rifle likes. Buy a bunch of boxes and see what shoots well. Through a suppressor you probably want subsonic, otherwise there's not a lot of point to having a suppressor on. Lots of...
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.
I have a suppressed .25-06 and .223. My 223 is basically a 22 with the DPT can on it, hearing safe. The 25-06 is… less of a horrendous cannon with a Hardy can on than it used to be. Unsuppressed I'd...
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...
GWH I'm on iPhone. Couldn't say if Android has it or not.
On the "Table" results page for your load, menu top right has a "Velocity Calibration" entry. Tap that, it lets you enter a series of distances and actual adjustments for each, it'll calculate a...
I went through The Optic Zone, I've found them pretty good. Got rings and mounts at the same time, made the shipping cost a bit better.
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 love the little 2.5-7x28 weaver on my .22. Rimfire scope though.
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...
I've got the Mont Bell UL #3, and I've actually been a little disappointed by how warm it isn't; even with a sleeping bag liner (which is supposedly thermal, although I'm not convinced) I've still...
I didn't realise there were any other kinds of bunny. Must take a bit of skill to shoot supersonic bunnies!
There's a pretty mean rabbit pie recipe in a Speights cookbook somewhere; unfortunately I only have a blurry photo of the recipe and I have to squint to read it, but the pie is great.
Basic...
Adopted brothers. Savage LWH 223 top (just had supp fitted), CZ 452 .22 below. The CZ is lighter, but not by a whole lot.

My new Savage Lightweight Hunter in 223 + Vortex 4-12x40, 2.9kg as you see it. Yet to be fired, also yet to be chopped to 18" and suppressed. :D

Does your svord have a convex edge still? "Scary sharp" would gradually turn it back to a traditional bevel, wouldn't it?
The convex evangelists claim that that's just because bevels are...
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.
El B, I love that Flamingo photo. Really tricksy.
Pretty happy with the odd iphone snap I've made. Occasionally the light hits just right.

Here is my CZ 452 which I just got chopped to 16"; mean wee thing now. It's wearing a Weaver 2.5-7x28.

Got him out of the wagon quick-smart, and it's cold enough out that he won't go off too fast. Up-side to the snow I guess.
Snow hit and Burkes Pass got closed just as we were heading out of Fairlie to the weigh-in :yuush: No comp for us.
Now I am stuck with my entry for 'heaviest goat' and boy does he reek :sick:
