    Mate uses 357 mag for wallabies and deer, but 200yds is a ways out. stick to 100m. FMJ all good for animals out to 200yds, aim for bone if you can, head shots better :thumbsup:

    Practice. They are easy to adjust the height for contour by simply lifting one side and moving it closer or away from the other. And the fact that the rifle isn't fixed to it like some tripod clamps...

    You might be surprised how many guides are carrying them here too. Primos made a five leg version which is like shooting off a bench. But they have stopped making them. Owl Optics (FSSPrecision?)...

    These are awesome. Great for inexperienced shooters. Turns newbies in to not bad shots. I've even converted a few experienced hunters. Trigger sticks are OK but tripods (Bogpds etc) awkward and...

    I got caught up in a forumites "dirty deal" - he bought a rifle off an old bloke off TM really cheap cause the old boy was a bit confused. I picked it up for him and was a bit dismayed. When he...

    Quick update on the optimal goose load. I've done about 10 or 12 batches so far, with different projectiles, powders, primers and brass. The best change I've done is from ADI AR2207 to AR2205....

    Greetings, I had an old Brno .223 at one stage with a long throat. I also had a box of the Speer 70 grain projectiles. I should have loaded some and tried them on goats at least once but never did....

    People own and use these old firearms because they have a sense of history , and they like older guns. Not everyone does this , but those who do have my whole-hearted approval.

    I've got 3 or 4 Savage 1899s and 99s in 22 HP, most are takedown. They might look agricultural to some, but they are way better engineered than other lever actions of the time. At least you can...

    I always found them ugly and ungainly looking. Of course I am shallow, silly as a horse, and swayed by appearances. I had use of one in .308 for a while, and the rear lock up was sort of clunky to...
