    Accuracy International AT Rusting?

    My guess is some of the (not stainless steel) machine tool that did the engraving has been left on the rifle after the operation and it's actually that that is rusting. It can be a tiny amount. Try grinding some stainless steel with a used grinding wheel and then leave it in the weather and you...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    This is a bit left field but………. Cleaver Firearms in Queensland Australia have some CDI in stock (or at least they did, maybe I bought the last one….)

    AI ATX? PRS?

    I have had an AT for 9 years and love it, shooting PSR (precision service rifle) with it with success, so I bought an AT-X. Then the ARC CDG came out and I jumped on that bandwagon…… Side by side I have to say the CDG is much easier to use from shitty positions, barricades, tyres, drums etc, due...

    6mmBR in Factory AI AT

    Mine runs flawlessly until it doesn’t……. I ran an 80 rd match a couple of weeks ago with no issues, but occasionally it will nose dive on about the 8th round from an AW mag. Straight BR AW mags with HRD kits and a fair bit of fluffing around with the feed lips.

    Worst Value Optic?

    I have a variety of “good” scopes from an old USO SN3, a couple of 4-16 PM2s, a 5-20 US SB, ZCO, March, a Bushnell XRS2 and a bunch of LRHSs (I put the Bushnells in because I really can’t fault them). Scopes that weren’t “worth it” to me were any of the older NXS NF scopes, I’ve had a few and...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    OK, so technically they don’t count with their super-long 18.5” barrels, but I still think they’re cool and they kinda prove there’s nothing new under the sun…..

    Which 22LR Rifle for plink, precision and possible competition?

    I have a Tikka T1X in a KRG Bravo stock and mine has been excellent, but I know others have had feeding issues. My only complaint is the barrel is a bit light for PRS comps. I could change it out for an IBI, but then I'm spending another $500 (Au). I have a few mates with CZs and I really like...
