    Swapping a barrel between actions

    I'm just wondering if anyone has experience swapping a barrel between different actions and whether the loads transfer across.... I'm waiting for my AT-X to come, can I just develop a load for a barrel in my AT and then be good to go in the AT-X? I assume that the barrel harmonics are the major...

    orynx cassis ?s

    I had a Howa in one, my only complaint was the bore was lower than the top of the butt pad so you couldn't run a cleaning rod through it in the chassis :(.

    The LRHS 3-12x44 Ahead of the Market.

    I have 2 of 3-12 and 2 of 4.5-18, all on hunting rifles. I think the 4.5s are a little too high power for hunting if something pops up close, but the 3-12s are great!! Like others have said, there's really not much else that's like them out there, surprisingly.

    Tell me what I got, USO Snipers Hide Edition #22

    I sent my SN3 back from to the factory from Australia a few years ago. At the time USO said their products weren't subject to ITAR and there was no issues sending it back. Things might have changed now though....

    Howa 1500

    I think you'll find the Howa 1500 is a loose copy of the old L579 Sako rather than a cross between Remington/Winchesters etc.... They have been marketed here in Australia for probably 30-40 years under various names, even Smith and Wesson sold them as a model 1500 many years ago and of course...

    That just looks like the "skin" of the rubber to me after moulding, but for sure check with AI.

    Is abortion ok

    It all comes down to when you think life begins. For some people it’s when the sperm meets the egg. For others it’s when the baby is delivered into the world. I believe it’s when the dog dies and the kids leave home.

    Range noise suppression

    Anyone know if this actually works well enough to build? We have issues on our range in Australia where the fullbore guys are complaining about our muzzle breaks. Going down the appeasement path at the moment.......

    Rifle Scopes Sako Finnlight and a AtacR 4-16x50

    Gray wolf, I was referring to an Atacr on a Finnwolf, but yes you are correct, the Optilocks aren't featherweight either. I have an NXS2.5-10x24 on my Black Bear and I reckon that's boderline too big.

    Firstly, way to unbalance a beautiful light weight rifle..... Secondly, I think Sako make 34mm Optilocks, I've seen them for sale.
