    Zero stop a quick change barrel

    With a Blaser R8 I have - I use the method of zeroing to lowest POI, then go up from there. If you use hold overs frequently then this is a very viable method of using one scope on several calibres or even rifles.

    AI chassis for Anschutz

    I’m in Australia and have a 1727F in 17hmr - keen on a chassis for it. Possible?

    Hunting rifle weight

    Just to be difficult… I disagree somewhat with the philosophy of, “just get stronger”. A rifle that is sized and weighted appropriately offers advantages elsewhere. My current hunting rifle is 9.5lb-10lb, and I feel it is maybe a bit on the heavier side for a standard rifle calibre...

    Help guide to purchase new scope

    I don’t know exactly what your use case is, but the absolute best for the kind of shooting and hunting it seems like you do would be a Tangent Theta H or M series 3-15x50. That paired with your Seekins Element would be sliiiick.

    Night Vision Running review of thermal monoculars/HMT units and my findings

    I’m interested to see if Pulsar enters the game for a HMT. Anyone heard any rumours if they’re thinking about it?

    To MOS or not to MOS

    Another spanner in the works and maybe of interest.. Radian have just announced their mount plates which significantly strengthen the MOS system (both mounting and physical protection). Available for RMR and Holosun EPS.

    NIOA Acquires Barrett Firearms Announcement

    Interesting you bring up the Fieldcraft... I’m in Aus and maybe know a guy who knows a guy. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Fieldcraft will be back in production again…….. *wink* I don’t know if that in the USA or not though.

    Best action for custom build

    Bruh - I definitely feel for you my mate. As for the rifle action question… Depending on what funds you have I’d look at the following in ascending order of expense: Sako TRG22 in 6.5 Creedmoor Accuracy International AT in 6.5 Creedmoor Accuracy International AXMC in 6.5 Creedmoor Another...

    Best action for custom build

    Crush injuries to feet are paying for rifle builds. Carry on.

    Best action for custom build

    Well if you already have a Savage I guess you’ve dipped your toe in the water. Maybe consider looking at something like an American Rifle Company Mausingfield if you like controlled round feeding - they can take a solid booting and are considered reliable. Also worth looking at could be a nice...

    Rifle Scopes Beat my Leica's Low Light Performance and Weight

    The Blaser 2.8-20x50 jumped to mind - which is at 27oz with a rail (so minus rings from the weight equation). But it has a simple duplex unfortunately. Everything else is top tier though and if it had even a basic reticle with bask marks I’d have one. The Tangent Theta Hunter at 26.98oz is as...

    Really Right Stuff Tripods

    As mentioned, need more info. Also depends on your height. I have a TFCT-33 Anvil. For standing shooting I just go all three legs full extension and put the rear facing leg position 2. Works a treat, very stable, very quick, good recoil control. 4.5lb approx is not too heavy either. If...

    Gunsmithing How it starts for us.... Receiver modeling for stock work.

    That’s awesome. Could the Blaser R8 ever be on the horizon? An R8 in a Manners EH1 or similar would be awesome.

    Fatboy tripod opinions (vs RRS?)

    Ordered from Thermal Optics Plus in the last month, highly recommmend.

    6.5x55 Blaser R8 with a GRS finally getting all the pieces in.

    Yeah, I believe you’re incorrect on that. Do you have anything to back up that assertion? Just so we’re giving a fair representation all round.

    6.5x55 Blaser R8 with a GRS finally getting all the pieces in.

    Just for completeness if someone stumbles over this thread in a few years, here’s a video on the removal of the receiver from a R8 stock: And here’s my R8 in 6XC with a Pulsar Trail slapped on just for fun…

    One Tripod To Rule Them All

    I dunno man, thats a 8.2lb total package that costs basically the same as a RRS setup at half the weight.
