Personally I would just go standard 22-250 with a 1-8 twist. I had Truflite rebarrel a kimber of mine in standard 22-250 with 1-8 twist a while back. I was tempted at the time by the sirens song of...

Almost all mammals have parasitic worms in them (probably didn’t want to hear that lol). This includes most human beings and the animals we hunt and farm. Pigs and fowl tend to have a higher parasite...

Alert deer are much harder to put down than a deer shot unawares. A sika stag at close range during the roar is most certainly an alert deer, they are often sneaking in on you and are very much ready...

As Preacher mentioned a stainless baffle will help your suppressor life if your going with that short a short barrel. I just shoot factory ammo in mine, and have no idea how much speed I lost (mines...

I like them, they are certainly built to last. The heavy stainless construction seems to absorb a lot of the sound. I had one on my 22-250 for ages and even though the suppressor had a big 30 cal...

I wish Leupold would produce one of their one inch tubed compact scopes with the guard ion lens coating they have on their vx5's and vx6's. If they put the Guard ion on their 1.5-4x20hog, VX31.5-5x20...

Second the Bushnell, they go good. However for your purposes I would look at a low powered variable with an illuminated centerdot. Quite a few companies make 1-4x or 1.25-4x variables with...

As mentioned above glass quality is more important than actual magnification for a hunting rifle in my opinion. All my scopes on my rifles apart from one are 1-4 or 1-5x. The exception is a 3-15vx5....

I have used the 110grain ttsx in 308 quite a bit as I like the lessened recoil. Providing you have time and the angles to break shoulders they work very well in my experience. However, you don’t...

No experience with the Levtac. However plenty of experience with lever actions and the 357 magnum. I don’t think you will regret choosing 357 mag, it makes the most sense of the common pistol...

Best bush gun is the one you have in your hand at the time you see the stag of your dreams lol. Those 1895's in 45-70 can be crazy accurate for what they are. Mine shoots moa or very close to it very...

I can't even imagine how scary that would have been to experience. You would have frantically been checking yourself I imagine?

That was a good read. I definitely agree with the statement in the abstract about a lot of hunting related information not being supported by data. For example you will see hunters/ magazines...

In my experience/opinion there seems to be three main factors that will determine how quickly a game animal drops/expires.
1. Shot placement (no secret that cns shots drop animals like lightning and...

I have had both and I preferred the standard with the hogue stock. Some people don't like the hogue stocks but I am a fan. Also I found that two mini actions I had in stainless would rust when I...

I had heard the Kriss hammer spring was unreliable and should be upgraded but I have been happy with the reliability of mine. Probably still upgrade it though. Be interesting to hear the experience...

Yeah I have got the same upper lower combo. Do you have the Jard hammer in yours or are you still using the Kriss Hammer? I havent upgraded the standard Kriss hammer yet and despite hearing it would...

I too have been shooting the exact same rifle. Do you find you get one random flyer because of this? Mine has shot some very small 10 shot groups (some of the best I have ever shot with a rimfire at...

Run the 110's in my kimber with BM2, recoil is much more pleasant than the 150 grains in this featherweight. Animals have all dropped on the spot or within 20m, only shot sika with that load so...

You would definitely want a scope with a ballistic or mil dot reticle if you were running two different loads in the 357. The difference in trajectory is huge! Or it is in my rifle anyway. I use a...

A .22 mag was the first rifle I got after I got my firearms license as a teenager. The sheep and beef farm where I worked weekends had huge mobs of goats on it at times. I chose the cartridge because...

I mounted a Bushnell Prime 1-4 on my 308 a couple of years back while my Leupold 1-4 was sent back for repair. It was rugged and held zero. Glass didn't seem as high spec as the Leupold, however it...

Something you could try if you want the convenience of a full magazine of ammo but only want it to function single shot (straight pull bolt action style) is buy some of the cci quiet segmented hollow...

Sounds pretty sweet Bill, be perfect for those Northland paddock destroyers. Might even be able to get a couple before they make it to the gorse lol. Does the donor kimber shoot?

Nice, yeah they are a sweet rifle in .243. The cartridge makes a lot of sense in a rifle that light. I see why you are asking about the smith now. Intriguing.....Any hints on what your building? I...
