    Spudattack liked post by Beetroot On thread : 55,000km 4.5 year oil change
    This is not a stupid concept, old piston engine aircraft (DC3 etc) use to burn enough oil that it was not required to be changed. This Landy was very good in the way of oil leaks (none that I...

    Happy liked post by Beetroot On thread : The great petrol vs diesel debate
    Qutite a lot, think it does about 16mpg so 16.6 L/100kms. A heck of a lot more than my diesel Discovery which is about 9/100kms, but tows the trailer a heck of a lot easier. And I do like the sound...

    Wouldn't work for me, as I am almost as useless at doing the oil change as I am at buying RUCs.

    If you aren't using the hash marks then SFP/FFP doesn't make a difference. What does make a difference, especially in a hunting scope is the reticle changing size. When set to the lowest...

    Just because the TSA aren't concerned doesn't mean it's legal. The TSA are only interested in safety, I believe it is ITAR who are the ones who will be on to you for exporting ammo etc without a...

    Value for money would have to be a Tikka T3 super lite. Top it off with a Leupold VX3 and some Talley one piece rings and you would have a seriously light rifle for the price. A muzzle break will...

    A330driver liked post by Beetroot On thread : Bringing back a non mil-spec scope from the US
    I emailed the TSA to ask whether they were concerned about rifle scopes. They basically said they don't care as they are not considered a firearm part and I could bring it in my carry on or checked...

    Shearer liked post by Beetroot On thread : Scope choice for 1st rifle
    VX3i will be a good option in that price bracket. If you aren't in a rush to get a scope, keep an eye out for a 2nd hand VX6 in 2-12x42 was one on here the other day for $1100. They are a great...

    Shit these are some expensive Bipods! I thought the Atlas was expensive. I'd go with a pack and/or a shooting sling and keep a Harris in my pack for any long range shots.

    10X magnification is more than enough for 99% of hunting applications, and with the right reticle will still work well at 500m. That being said, I have a Leupold VX6 3-18 and the combination of...

    Fortunately the OP is looking at the Leupy VX5, which even the 3-15 has an amazing FOV on the low end. I don't think the OP can really go wrong, the FOV on either the 3-15 or 2-10 is excellent on...

    I have a VX6 and rate it highly, the VX5HD and VX6HD are only going to be even better. If you were going for the VX5 2-10 get the firedot over the standard duplex, makes a big difference for taking...
