I can try 😂

Helpful replies, thanks. I like my 20" rifle but with a can it is just a bit awkward, so was thinking about a brake. I guess my worry is the dog. He is the Sika radar and while that is his nose, I don't want to deafen him.

I tried asking this on a UK forum but just got a lot of dumb ass answers. I have one on my AI so I have the range experiences but... Does anybody use a brake for hunting? Are there any non obvious benefits/issues?

Exactly Not had a chance to shoot PRS over here but done plenty clays up to European and World Champs. Fitasc is kinda similar idea to PRS but with flying targets. Classifications give everybody a competition. They also let you work out which targets are for the big boys and are a "bonus" for...

Exactly. So I am deer culling. Take the first shot at say 350. The thing legs its up the hill. I am not going to take a mover but it pauses at say 450 but its on a different line. If I don't take the shot I/we could literally be chasing it for miles over the hill. You just have to shuck round...

So I watched a video years ago where Frank was talking about having to accept indexing and trading (in my language compromising, I think) between the fundamentals when the position is not perfect. There is always lots of chat on here about running the fundamentals perfectly and the results when...

"Regarding the much-touted gun control laws of Britain and Australia, Libresco found that "neither nation experienced drops in mass shootings or other gun-related crime that could be attributed to their buybacks and bans." Well I am all in favour of looking at the data, and I can't speak about...

Send it back . It is a mile off where it should be. Faffing about with ammo brands is not going to take that error out. It is worth trying out a scope you trust but after that its warranty time. I know lots of guys over here with Tikka's and that is not normal out of the box behaviour. Most of...

Just buy an Accuracy International straight off. The AT is a bargain. AX is mutts nuts. You will end up with one anyway so you may as well avoid all the other crap on the way...

Leica 10x42 geovid HD-B Glass is great. I had previous generation 8x56 for about 10 years and these are much brighter. Laser is very good. Fast. Works in less than ideal conditions. Works when other handhelds don't, demonstrated up the hill after red hinds last October - stalker would have...

Well it's not a dumb question 'cos it gets asked often enough. However that is the clue. It has been done to death. Repeatedly. Therefore you can Google this question for Lowlight's answers. Please do. Read the answers (there are many from the straightforward to being run over by a truck). Save...

Thanks. I like the TAB system but its $130 and not sure about the clips for up the hill. I will give a Solohntr a go, its not huge $

Anybody using one of these ? Any good ? I use a moderator approx 1 3/4 inch diameter, will that fit? Planning on using it up the hill stalking red in the usual wind and rain. Seems like it could be a lightweight fast system allowing me better control of the rifle with my TAB biathlon sling.

Given the 6.5 shoots bullet weights a range below the 308 at roughly comparable speeds then on balance the 6.5 will have less recoil across the range. If you want to shoot to 'long' range then the 6.5 is a different class. On the other hand if you want to shoot at a particular bullet weight...

Key word is WAS. In 1950 it was about a common nato round and more rounds per pound on your back ?? So there was a 308 is 'better than' a 30-06 mentality which sort of persists. Ballistically they are close in some bullet weights and some loadings, however in heavier loads you would expect...

+1. All the Tikka's I have seen perform. Same on the 7-08. You guys have 308 and 30-06 in the safe so 270 isn't offering you anything very different. The 7-08 can throw a heavy bullet and gives good ballistic performance in a short action

Can't say I have tried this but... Sporting clays would suggest that you should probably use two different techniques for close and long crossers. The issue is the angular rotation required to give you a sensible time synched with the target. So because of the greater angular rotation of...

Probably. I have seen a 1% drop on a couple of my rifles with a suppressor on. That is pretty much what you are seeing. I have never seen them come out faster...

Been there. I ended up speaking with the guys at Redding. What you need to do is measure the concentricity of each case as you go and look for trends. Do mixed head stamps imply different number of loadings? You may have some necks that are hard and others still malleable. What is the...

Do yourself a favour and do not buy Optilock. They are overpriced Junk. Screws are too soft.
