    Muzzle brake on a bolt

    Re: Muzzle brake on a bolt I don't, but i'm a big bloke and all the ranges here in vic either outright ban them or frown upon them. Lots of yanks love them, even on their .308's which i think is excessive. They don't affect accuracy if they're made and installed well, however the POI will...

    help wanted please! brands of rifles

    Re: help wanted please! brands of rifles Grey's you could get away with a .22 under 80m or so. But you'd wanna be a good shot, and it's something most roo shooters would never consider. Red's are much bigger, i wouldnt go after them with less than a .223 or something, even a .243 or .308 And...

    Which ammo to start zeroing the rifle ?

    Re: Which ammo to start zeroing the rifle ? Most people recommend FGMM and Hornady for a reason, because it's accurate and high quality. I've never heard of Partizan Match, or Partizan... so i can't comment. Winchester isn't bad stuff, but there's alot better out there. I'd suggest trying...

    stock identification help

    Re: stock identification help You can get a McMillan in just about any colour. The light-ness of that tan could be caused by the camera/editing flash (if you look at the yellow writing on the box, and the camo on the Bone Bag, they both look remarkably bright).

    I want to sporterize my TRG, dumb ass?

    Re: I want to sporterize my TRG, dumb ass? 20" for .308 is about the most you'd want to go. 18" maybe if you're really tight for space or are a short bloke (heard the other day on the radio that americans are a couple of inches shorter than us aussies? don't quote me though! :P ) As for the...

    Best barrel length

    Re: Best barrel length Are you asking for barrel length suggestions, or calibre suggestions? Also, what is your intended use for this rifle (legitimately), will you be humping it up and down hills, or will it be sitting on a benchrest looking cool and awaiting the zombie invasion like all of...

    New guy here, saying hi and asking a few questions

    Re: New guy here, saying hi and asking a few questions AICS is always a good option, buy second hand and they'll hold their resale value relatively well, especially the folders.

    New guy here, saying hi and asking a few questions

    Re: New guy here, saying hi and asking a few questions EGW make a good 20MOA base, which is what you want for a .308 If you have the money, a Badger would probably be my bet. But they're pricey and for your first precision rifle, could definitely be something you leave for later. Bushnell...

    which rifle for new guy

    Re: which rifle for new guy The best thing you can do is to get behind a gun, feel it, even shoot it if you can. Would you buy a new car just because I recommend it to you on the internet? Nope, you'd go to the dealer and take it for a test drive first. If you're into reloading already then...

    "Trainer" gun

    Re: "Trainer" gun How can anyone not own one or more .22 Rifles... A gun is a gun. The techniques you use to make the shot are almost all universal. Forget about the bolt throw being shorter, the recoil being less, and the bolt handle being different. At the most, try to make sure the stock...
