Thats the point. Brass in there means loaded.

Correct but my point was, if you're checking and not seeing a pointy thing, you're not checking properly.

Man poor bugga asked about a gun and caliber and got pages of push/control feed and the use of empty shell vs snap caps, try keep on topic it is more useful and helpful

My advice is go to gun city or hunting and fishing you will get better advice then the shit written in this thread.

Plenty of good advice on the first few pages.

Weight and balance make a big difference when carrying all day. A well-fitted stock helps with accuracy too. Finding a rifle that feels right in your hands is just as important.

Some excellent buying at the present, seeing secondhand Sako 75 / 85 at decent prices. Thought about selling mine but No.
