   Greetings, One thing that is well below old prices is chronographs. Over 30 years back (1991) I bought an Oehler 35P chronograph which cost $849.00. They are still made today, possibly upgraded a...

   Greetings, I see the Parker Hale Standard .303 listed at $36.00. I bought one about 1967 and it cost me $29.00 (fourteen pounds 10 shillings) with a new barrel. I could have saved $2.00 by getting...

   Greetings, I wonder if that clay pan and the hills behind are choked with contorta by now. We tend to forget how little of the wizzo clothing, kit and especially rifles was available to most as...

   Greeting Micky Duck. A lot of continental rifles have a 12mm approx dovetail including some of the early Brno .22 rifles. I have heard of some making up an adaptor to take an aperture sight intended...

   Surely you jest. The flint lock was a late comer. The real deal is the match lock and none of that fancy rifling stuff either. GPM.

   Greetings Friwi, My son grabbed his 350 RM headed out the door at Kiwi Saddle while I and the two others in the hut chatted. Seconds later kaboom, my son had shot a Sika hind about 50 metres from...

   Sidetrack liked post by grandpamac On thread : Getting back to basics.

   Greetings, The first two new rifles I bought were a Ruger 10-22 Sporter (nicer stock with checkering) and a Remington ADL .308W in the mid 1970's. Both are still here. To be perfectly honest I could...

   Greetings, I would ignore the data for the Nosler projectile as the ELDX is much more like the Sierra projectiles, the 175 and 180 grains. People tend to forget that projectile construction has a...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : .270 and heavy(ish) bullets

    Greetings all, I do find it amusing that a fast twist .270 WCF is greeted with so much fuss when Wilhelm Brenneke had completed all the work by 1917 in his 7x64. This cartridge has projectiles up to...

    Greetings, The number of deer being smoked by you chaps with the .223 leaves me wondering if there are any left for the other calibres. Perhaps we should be recommending the .223 as a starter rifle...

    Greetings, You all spotted my obvious mistake, they were 129 SST projectiles although I do have some 160 grain round noses. Hmm. and yes it was a 6.5x55 and not some new fangled thing that does the...
