    Night Vision NV + Thermal - Help me decide the roles they suit.

    Exactly... It is very hard to judge distance with any NFE, unless your in a stationary hide with a range card of known distances.

    Blasser tac 2/ sig tac2 anyone with experience?

    Can't comment on the Tac2, but i previously owned a LRS2 and a number of R93 hunting rifles. The LRS2 was a beautiful rifle to shoot and by far one of my most accurate.

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    I've shot plenty of F class, and have never been held back by a 1:12 twist. Most F class shooters here in Australia use 155gr 'palmer' projectiles out to 1000. A 175gr pill handles the wind better, but I've never needed to load anything heavier.

    Night Vision NV + Thermal - Help me decide the roles they suit.

I would have preferred the 1:10 twist with the 20" barrel, but here in Australia you don't get the option. Either you want a AI or you don't, take it or leave it... Saying that...

    AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

    The AX308 data sheet from both UK and US AI sites list barrel options as 1:12, along with the new colour options. Mine came from the UK, 20" with the new model fluted bolt and SFP (small firing pin). I also prior to purchase thought AX's had the 1:10 twist . I'm not too concerned, its a AI...
