    Extreme Tumbler Rebel 17? Better?

    I have used my Model B for about 6k worth of rifle cases over the past few years. They are good units. I have seen the video of the Rebel 17 and it looks awesome. I would buy one of those over a Thumlers... then again if I was in the US I would get a Bigg Dawg from the looks of it ;) Cant got...

    Who Jams and who Jumps?

    I kiss the lands, or jump a teeny weeny amount depending on the barrel.

    need a new chronograph

    I have owned a Shooting Chrony (blue one), and I hated it. I now own a SuperChrono acoustic chronograph. I find it difficult to setup perfectly. The manufacturer says they are easy to set up and have a big window of which to shoot through. I find this to be false (for my particular one anyways?)...

    Adjustable bum arrived for my boom stick today... really cool, and makes finding that eye box simple simple simple. Another cool thing I noticed with this adjustable rear is that the reticle no longer looks canted by a degree or two... I always run my scope with levelled scopes and reticle...

    6.5x47 Brass Life

    Good point Trevor re verification of velocity at longer distances. We were ringing steel at 450 yards and all of the shots were coming up around 6" below the point of aim. So where the ballistic calc said to use 2.2 mil for elevation, it was in fact a little higher. This could be due to...

    6.5x47 Brass Life

    Cheers fellas. I might look for a low end node and use that until i can get more brass... huge shortage of 6.5x47 brass in Australia. Massive back orders too! The barrel is a 26" 1:8.5 twist probably a lothar walther barrel. Thanks Steve, looking at running more ladders when we get a chance.

    6.5x47 Brass Life

    Hi guys. I have a question for the seasoned 6.5x47 shooters out there. What sort of brass life are you getting and what powder loads are you running with this brass? Yesterday a friend and myself went out with our 6.5x47s for a little load development. We had a Super-Chrono with us which...

    I wouldnt worry about a lead ban.... It might screw the industry for a short period, but things would get sorted pretty quickly. Theres already lead free alternatives available mate, dont stress too much ;) Me and a mate took our DTAs out today for a bit of load dev. Shot both over a Steinert...

    Could it be that one of the 4 side bolts has not backed out enough despite with the seekonk wrench is telling you? Take an Allen key and loosen the side bolts an extra half turn. Also check to see everything is clean. My DTA had small pieces of styrofoam in all sorts of strange places, and...

    Myself and a mate picked up our A-1's today... we noticed some very interesting things about our rifles. The serial numbers are about 50 units apart, so not a huge amount, however there are a few differences. - First up our bolts are noticeably different in that mine is what you typically see...

    Only with standard height rings... eg, Nightforce Medium height rings. I ordered the HTI rings with reducers for my NF NXS, however I was told the reducers are coming in a different order. So I wanted to know If I could make do with existing rings that I have.

    Thank you for replying :) So it looks like standard height rings and a 56mm objective wont fit the SRS Chassis.... bummer HTI rings with electrical tape clandestine reducers it is then ;)

    Cheers mate ;) I have had her on order for over 6 months. Covert Chassis A-1 with a 6.5x47 barrel. For the time being I have a 3-15x56 NXS waiting to go on top of her. HTI rings are also coming with the rifle, however the reducers will come at a later date. I dont have a 34mm scope to go on so...
