    Poverty pony bolt actions

    I suspect those companies with high end AR offerings moving into bolt gun business are more looking to expand into foreign, more regulated markets where buying bolts are the default and offer larger sales and revenue growth opportunities. By contrast the AR market in the US appears (I’m in...

    223 Ackley Improved

    Great to hear! Have you been shooting it long? How far out have you had the chance to shoot? What sort of life are you getting out of your brass from reloads?

    223 Ackley Improved

    Well done on the win. I shoot F-class with my Tikka T3x in 223Rem and I have beaten plenty of F-TR shooters with allegedly better calibres on custom actions more than a few times and the limited powder input of the 223Rem and performance derived is great. I’m going the AI version because, as...

    223 Ackley Improved

    Thanks. And questions about performance have been answered in previous pages, thanks again to everyone. All I need to do now is wait for the barrel and dies to arrive.

    223 Ackley Improved

    I’m going to be jumping into 223AI this year as a replacement for my .260Rem within 600m. Looking to have Med-Palma profile, 26” 1:7 twist connected with a tikka action I have. will try to hunt down the 80-90gn class projectiles. Has anyone had experience shooting 223AI with the 75gn+ weight...

    Hurt by Jonny Cash…greatest song for reflection?

    I’m up late drinking but listening to some music, Johnny Cash, that is reaching out to me. question is: Hurt is one of the most prosaic, self reflective and thoughtful pieces of music ever written?

    85 grain 223 in a bolt fun?

    I love the 223 and appreciate why you did this so I’m not trying to be snarky. but at any point did you stop and think…why not just get a 6mm (BRA,BR, BRX, Creedmore, etc) and save the stuffing about with pressures and careful load up? With the 85-95gn class of projectiles you just touching...

    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    I have compared my Meopta Optika6 5-30x56 1FFP agaiant a Kahles 1050i that owned and sold, the same magnification levels and it stacks up very, very well when considering the Meopta is 40% of the price of the 1050i.

    .260 Remington

    Doesn’t Petersen so SRP brass for .260?

    Anyone shooting 260Rem in 2022?

    Its the best twist rate to shoot majority of the 6.5mm bullets the 260Rem chambering is optimised for, that being 120-142gn range. I’ve had a .260 in a 1:7.5 that was excellent and allowed me to play with the 144-150gn projectiles out there with a bit more stability with very good and...

    Anyone shooting 260Rem in 2022?

    Just brought another barrel for the .260Rem. Looking forward to running it again.

    Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 8-34X56 IR FFP…opinions?

    just a quick check to see if there is any experience with the Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 8-34X56 IR FFP? Have seen them advertised locally new from a retailer at an impressively competitive price relative to other products and keen to know what the experience with these scopes is like. Cheers

    Savage Ultralight 280 AI chassis options

    Is that primarily a hunting or target shooting/steel hitting rig? Looks the goods though, cheap rattle can paint job aside

    .260 Remington

    I’ve consistently had great results with H4350/AR2209. Very reliable powder with the 130-140gn pils. If I find myself shooting a 260 again I’m going to be trying Varget/AR2208 with the 120-130 projectiles for something different.

    Wildcat Cartridges, What would you build?

    I’m thinking a 6.5Addiction (6,5x55AI…I may be wrong) will be in my future one day.

    Short Action Customs is Awesome!

    I was looking for an action wrench for a Howa 1500 but couldn’t find any until I came across SAC’s offering. The product is brilliant; fit, finish and function. I’m in Australia and they had no qualms with shipping over here and are brilliant to deal with.

    2021 T3x SUPER VARMINT

    I was debating a custom build next but then I saw these. Caliber selection is impressive as well. I’m thinking one of these in 6.5x55 with the 24” barrel will go beautifully.

    Quit reloading altogether?

    The brass prep side of things can be a real chore if you don’t need to do it or enjoy it. Since I started shooting less F-class and more PRS/PSR and magazine fed comps I load to a magazine length and tune the powder load and projectiles types. If the target you are aiming for is only an MoA at...

    Rifle Scopes New Meopta Scope - Optika6

    I got out to 1200yrd for a comp and was using the Optika6. Conditions left to right wind gusting from 7-10mph temp about 21deg Celsius. The target was an ICFRA 1000yd target face. The full power 30x zoom wasn’t overly useful in most instances with very thick mirage. The scope didn’t cut through...
