So, after 12 or more years of pretty rough use I finally sent my Victorinox Multitool for repair. I've read about the lifetime warranty and hoped it would cover even my MT. But I knew I have destroyed 3 of the tools by using them for purposes expressly prohibited in the user's instructions -...

A newbie question: What would be considered an acceptable variation in weight for a high quality .308 175gr bullet? I have no idea... Thanks for all replies.

I am brand new to reloading, so have patience, please. I found this bullet on offer and had it recommended to me by some people, but decided to run it through here. I want a load for 1000m matches. I shoot Sako TRG 22 1:11 standard barrel. Is this bullet a good choice over a 155gr...

Our Army recently went through its armories, found few Model 4's and decided to sell them. One of them went home with me. It's a '56 vintage in a nice condition, the stock is a little battered and the rifle has no iron sights but it will get a scope anyway. Here are pics of the little girl...

I am considering the Gelati Deluxe Shooting Mat (http://www.galatiinternational.com/product/SM4812O.html). But I want to be 100% positive my TRG 22 with the Sako muzzle brake will fit into it. I will also appreciate any personal experiences. I want to use it at the matches I go to, where I...

What does the TRG mean? Is it a Finnish abbreviation or something? Finnish, anyone?

I am still learning and don't have the experience to be 100% sure. The rifle is standard TRG22: How much "off" the zero should the shot be at 100m? What is standard? Higher or lower? How many rounds for the PI to settle? Thanks for answers

I am wondering how durable the TRG magazines are, or how many rounds should I expect them to live through. I just bought two spare for a price of one, but still... How many did you put through your before it started to make problems?

That is the question. I mean the actual honeycomb. It looks like a black hole, so I thought maybe I could give it a light spray of some light color to blend into the environment. On the other hand I am afraid it would go against the purpose of the KillFlash, i.e. reflect, rather then kill...

I have the Kestrel with Horus ATrag and I would like to use the drop truing feature, however the manual is not very helpful and I can't seem to figure it out. Here are my issues: 1) The Drop Truing screen shows Range, Elevation and BC, while only the Range and BC can be adjusted. I tried to...

We, me and my shooting buddy, just bought 2 K4500 w Horus. We needed a slightly non-standard delivery and one company simply ceased to communicate with me. I found AllKestrel.com, where the unit was for the same price and explained my request. I received a reply almost immediately: "No problem...

Hi all, I am doing my research on laser rangefinders and for a long time I was leaning towards the Zeiss Victory 8x26 T PRF. Now I've found another option: Newcon LRM 1500 SPD. My problem is I have never heard of Newcon, so I don't know what to expect in terms of quality and reliability, it...

Hi all, I disassembled my TRG 22 after a competition in heavy rain to see how far the water got into it. It wasn't an issue but when I've put the rifle back together I noticed the stock doesn't fit the bedding block as nicely as the foreguard (see pic) and I had problems tightening the screws...

Yeasterday we shot a competition in the rain and after a short while I could breed fish in the front part of my scope, couldn't see crap. What is the best way to protect scope from water getting in front of the front and back lens? In front: Sun shade? Kill flash? Or something else? In the...

I need to attach the stud on the bottom of the stock (to attach a monopod). I tried to screw it in, but the Polyurethane fell off and now I have a hole in it down to the Aluminum frame. There is a small hole in the Aluminum frame too, but the stud wouldn't fit in. Am I supposed to drill a bigger...

I am trying to figure out what load to use for long ranges (600-1000 meters) with my TRG 22 (barrel 660 mm, 1:11). I've been given two recommendations: 1) specifically for TGR 22 - 180 Gr. bullet 2) generally - 150 Gr. If you have TRG 22, what do you shoot? Can you state parameters of your...

Into how much detail should the rounds put through the barrel be loged? Should I log every single one or rather maintain a rough idea how much went through it? The same goes for range log, what is the best procedure? Loging every hit right after it was shot or strings of rounds? I am looking...

I have a brand new TRG 22. Yesterday I went to shoot and after app. 40 rounds the bolt started to get stuck closed, i.e. it required considerable effort to lift the handle, after that the bolt slid back effortleslly. I happened only after discharge, without firing the bolt worked fine. I tried...

I bought myself a precission rifle and finally got the time to take it out. As you can see it is TRG 22 with Schmidt und Bender PMII 5-25x56 (with PL4 Fein reticle, you can't see that). My first 10 rounds at 100 m ended like this (Remington Premier Match, 168 Grs HPBT). The first three...
