    Factory 16" X-bolt with a DPT. I find it neither barky or recoily. Swaro Z6i 1-6 on top, brilliant bush rifle, I've taken animals at 350y with it.

    38 South This is the old VX6 CDS turret I was meaning - it does have a zero stop but no button release, it is a lot more fiddly to setup than the ZL2 and I found it a bit mushy in comparison. ...

    Bagheera I'm actually keen on a big 7 myself, something lightweight, but I've had a painful to shoot rifle before and it isn't fun. Agree on suppressor etc. I run a 16" browning lightweight 308...

    Another vote for GME. 5w ones are awesome and the battery saving feature works well. My mate runs a ICOM 5w works well, I think they cost a bit more though. Repco has the latest 5w GME on sale for...

    Swaro z6i 1-6, I'd like to get a z8i 1-8 one day. I think the next generation of hunting scopes may be something like true 1x and then up to 10x. March, Eotech, Vortex, Sig already have offerings...

    It will be interesting to see the quality of the ADL and BDL models. They will face some stiff competition from Bergara for buyers wanting a well priced well made Rem 700 footprint rifle.

    I do the below method from the Browning site. The Boretech cu+2 works well even though it doesn't have ammonia. I don't know if it is just a fairy tale but I've never had a bad shooting rifle after...
