I'd love a No#9
Thanks for the great start to my day

Somebody should be putting up photos of a 6mm Remington 700 soon.
Hey @grandpamac. I'd have to scope it to get a proper idea of what it's capable of. I fired off 20 rounds and managed about 1.25" at 50 after sighting in. This was at the range with very bright sun trying to wash out the target and my POA virtually obscured by the dot, so I think in the field I could do a bit better. So long as I can hit roos and goats in the right place out to 150-200m I'll be chuffed.
It was very pleasant to shoot - 125gr handloads were doing about 2740.

This would add some more Rambo cred. Excellent, Sometimes it is not just about the hunting which I think you already know.

Its hideous!Quote:

Very nice shotgun there Gun nut! I remember when Reloaders or Sportways were selling these.
What are you using it for?
Not using it for anything until more ammo arrives in NZ unfortunately (guess thats why it was a good price). The plan is to give me a bit more range on ducks on opening weekend and have a lot of fun at the range with 760grn slugs for the rest of the year!Quote:

You have been forgiven my son now go and sin some more and tell us how it goes
New toy picked up from the smith this morning
For black powder mid range and long range Silhouette
When the grunt of 45-70 isn’t needed
Caliber 38-50 remington Hepburn (long obsolete) 303 British cases used to form brass
1870 husky rolling block action
30 inch hugh Bradley barrel profiled full Octagonal (heavy)
Pedersoli rear sight
Lee shaver front sight

That is a beauty. What made you choose that calibre?. I am looking at a High Wall in 38-55 for mid-range.
Good questionQuote:

But the 38-50 dose have an advantage over 38/55 being that it will hold 55gn of powder behind a 330gn bullet
A 38-55 will only do 45gn with the same bullet
you mean you're not the messiah ??Quote:

Yes well , she still doesn't know about the 590a1 buried in the deep dark corner of the safe and never used when she's around . Unfortunately she now has her license and her own rifle in the same safe but I have hidden the keys and whenever she wants it I retrieve it for her " let me get it for you my dear , and have I told you lately how much I love you" .... Hehehe
Had to front up with this one though as will be a carry rifle.
A kind forum member lent me this to try out.
Good advise, but what do you recommend when your wife has a licence and knows where the keys are?Quote:

I have one of those stocks. Good value. Mine has every spare accessible void filled with No9 lead shotQuote:

The combo leg option gives you a third stage alloy extension with detent locks. There’s a small spring that gives the alloy legs a shove when you press the release, and this action can generate a bit of noise.Quote:

Have I missed something?
I’ve got one of those bipods with ‘twangy’ springs on my Sako 22 but haven’t had issues with game fleeing from the noise. (which can be minimized with a bit of care)
