    Hunting & Fishing .270 Bolt Action Hunting Rifle...need help!

    Shot hundreds of deer with my Sako 85 in .270 Fantastic calibre in a fantastic rifle. Get a 6x42 S&B on there and for 100 yard deer hunting you'd need nothing else. I've taken a few deer out to 400 with that rig as well, and all with factory ammo, 130gn RWS H-Mantle was...

    Hunting & Fishing Head Shot Wednesdays

    This fox was walking straight towards me with it's head low scenting the ground. Put a 150gn .308 soft point into the top of its skull at 8 yards, it went along the neck and down the entire length of its body and exited out near the butt hole: 67 Fallow and 1 Red here in a deer park...

    Lithgow 'Heavy' SMLE .303

    Oh they were fitted alright! All the 'in service' rifles were done properly, ie the block that the sight is mounted on: was reamed out for a precise fit on the heavy barrel. I've seen many that were done 'out bush' by civvy target shooters, and most of those were sawn straight...

    Lithgow 'Heavy' SMLE .303

    Hi all, Not long aquired this old girl! She's a 1917 vintage Lithgow that was fitted with a Lithgow heavy barrel while still in service, so would most likely have been a designated marksman/sharpshooter rifle. Not had any time to get her on the range, sourcing some...

    Thoughts on a Firearms company like this

    Re: Thoughts on a Firearms company like this Is there any chance the real prize rifles were intercepted in the mail and replaced with the horse shit the boys received by some unscrupulous mofo? I'd like to think that's the case, but I'm not convinced it is. Shame on Remington. This would...
