    3 shot groups are definitely not useless, but at the same time a single one hole 3 shot groups isn't proof your rifle is a .1MOA rifle. I use 4 shot groups during load development, idea being if a...

    Synthetic liked post by Beetroot On thread : The Case for 15x56 Binoculars
    Unless you carry a tripod 15x will be worthless. Putting a pair of 10x binos on a tripod shows how bad hand holding is with 10x, 15x will be considerably worse. Personally I wouldn't think you...

    My scopes tend to be mounted a bit further back than what you have there. The distance from butt to trigger is about 350mm (10mm shorter than you) but the scope is 250mm from the butt, so about 2"...

    You'd be surprised at what a well made thin barrel would do. I shot my few few competitions and a few F Class rounds with a factory Tikka 260, 10+ round strings didn't effect accuracy much, or at...

    I'm not fussed on that Maven scope, a bit heavy, slightly narrow FOV, not loving the reticle. It feels like it's close but I've got enough scopes at them moment I'm not rushing to buy one. Are...

    Probably my Tikka 223 with Delta Stryker. It must be about 18 months now.

    Shortening the stock seems to be a bit dramatic compared to getting a pic rail and new rings?

    Yes you can do that on the NZ side but it will depend what the rules are in the country you are taking it out of. I wanted to do just that in the UK, the gun store I was buying from said they can...
