I thought this was a good video that highlighted cost of practice and animal ethics , which applies to all hunters. Well done.
Great vid, very well spoken. Have the same scope and suppressor on my 20" 308win, it's perfect for me :cool:
@dannyb happy with the scope’s performance? They seem reasonably pricedQuote:

It's no a problem as I usually hold for wind and the hdlr reticle has a very useful reticle in this respect, it was just disappointing when Element have really nailed everything else about these scopes. Still wouldn't change it with anything else in the same price bracket and magnification range.Quote:

After considering many options to rebarrel, I have stayed with what I know, boring bugger Ah! Just that 308 does everthing I want.
I think the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none" really suits the 308.
There was a video around a few years back.Scot Trail with a 10" 308.....that was eye opening.
I could get my 16.5 inch 308 out to 1260m and hit what I was aiming at and see the splash.
