    TimC liked post by Beetroot On thread : RUGER PRECISION® RIFLE, CALIBER: 308 WIN
    You can get away with a heavier rifle hunting but the RPR chassis isn't comfortable for carrying and has so many bits to get caught on your pack and foliage that it would be a nightmare. For a...

    My permit took the best part of a month to get approved. It was assessed within 2 days then took a further 20+ to get sign off by the supervisor. I can't help but think Te Tari Pūreke is a...

    Just had an email reminding me I need to inform the Police of a part I imported recently and risked a $400 if I don't tell them in time. Email was to my work email account so was lucky I saw it in...

    The parallax issue you mentioned is common in scopes with big magnification ranges. It's hard/impossible to design a scope that does everything well. Basically any scope with and 8x or 10x...

    150m + will start to show the differences in accuracy of the different ammo types, CCI std vel still shoots well at 100-150m but really starts showing high/low fliers after that. Your chronograph...

    25/08 IMP liked post by Beetroot On thread : Calibre, Rifle & Scope Sugestions For Longer Range Hunting
    Tikka + VX5hd for rifle and scope. Calibre is the hard one IMO, if you are planning to hunt to 500m then 7mm08 would be hard to beat, or 6.5CM/260. 308 will do the job but is more recoil than you...

    Go off the size that won't chamber as that is what is important. If its new brass it may take a few firings until you are actually doing much sizing.

    My 260 with a 19" barrel is doing 2700 with 140s and 2800 with 130s. Id imagine 2600fps with 140s would be fairly easy with the Creedmoor. Accuracy won't be an issue unless the gunsmith messed it...
