    22-250 ELDm issues

    Yikes... as stated that twist is not fast enough. Should be ok with 69 HPBT or similar... or really effective as a scatter gun! I'm actually looking to get a 1-8 or 1-7 for my 22-204 project so I can load up the 73-75 Hornady and the 80 Berger

    That is sexy! Are you guys gonna do a short/med action version for long .223 - 6mm projectiles or will the long action version work with those too? and, where did you get that bolt handle...... because if you make them, start selling them!

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Optics -New Reticle for 2018

    Just purchased the Ares BTR so looking forward to a real world test in hunting conditions. The glass is excellent for the money and I love the features. The turrets are a little less defined than I would like so hoping the new range of ETR scopes have fixed that. Great to see that a company is...

    Yeah I have mate. Quite like it. The palm swell is a little thicker than I would like but its a solid stock. When this rifle goes a bit more custom I'll probably go the MDT LSS Gen 2 though for a better fit.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Leveling: F***!

    Anyone tried the Arisaka Scope Leveler ? Looks a good little tool and easy to carry. Doesn't depend on plumb lines or level benches....

    Messed Up 223 Trainer Build

    You might be pleasantly surprised. Most Tikka rifles have excellent accuracy but with that profile the long shot strings will be out of the question most likely. You can get pre fit barrels though, but that's an expensive option if you weren't expecting it!

    I hear ya. I'm just keen on a "long range" .22 caliber that doesn't kill the barrel really. The youngest is mad keen on shooting now and I want him to be able to increase his range and still be able to place shots on small targets as well as he can without the rifle limiting his learning. We...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR ii

    Thanks for the info people. The glass certainly sounds adequate for what I'm after but that reticle is just too thick really. A big fan of the dot in the middle style. A bit like the Sightron scopes and I'm also thinking that the FFP is not the way forward when it comes to varmints. Cheers

    The 222 Rem mag has a longer neck and different shoulder angle resulting in a smaller case capacity & therefore less performance according to the info from Terminator Products. The photo as follows... 17 Hmr, 222(50sp), 223(53 Vmax), 22 Terminator (75 Amax), 22-250(50 Vmax), 243(80 Gmx)

    There is a thread on that somewhere. I'll try and find the exact specs but that question was asked and I'm sure I read there is a different angle.

    Dang, that's sexy as all heck!! Super cool looking little round. I'm currently weighing building a Varmint rig from a Tikka T3 action myself.... thinking heavy barrel fast twist ".22 Terminator" developed down here. It should run 75 ELD-M over 3K and runs off a .204 case...

    Yeah, the factory rail needs heat to remove it! Can be a real nasty so and so...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR ii

    Please help me understand the difference between the HDMR and the DMR? I'm also keen to hear your opinion on the glass against the Nightforce NXS. I had an old NXS without zero stop that had decent glass. I hear and read that the DMR is a step up in glass quality, I know it's a matter of...

    Cheeky little "Youth Rifle" project I'm working on with my son. He has been loving the .17 HMR but the wind and stopping power has been a limiting factor for him with small-medium game (Goats). He's mad keen on the Hunting gig so we needed to find him a suitable replacement for his "Hummer"...

    Man, the magazine issue is deep!! If there was a way to get a flush dual stack mag for a Tikka that took 5 rounds then you would be onto a massive winner... But alas... It's called a Sako! AICS is not problem to get for me but I want a flush mag option that holds more than 3-4 rounds for...

    Dude.... that reloading room. Wanna swap? Mine has no room to move, terrible light and no rcbs gear. Just let me know when you want to move... How did she shoot?

    Nice rigs! Have I missed the update on the CTR that Frank is doing with the carbon barrel from Hardy? Can't seem to find an update since the Cadex Chassis video?
