    New 6mm barrel from Truefile (have a cheap 7.62x39 if you want a new one) wanted their deep valute fluting to help cooling as this rifle fires lots of rounds (45 goats last weekend). The 87gn bullets...

    Managed to get the gel out pretty easily. Took 10 minutes and lost 200grams in weight, I then gave her a lick of paint and clearcoat. Needs a few days to dry properly but pretty happy with the...

    Mathias liked post by Flyblown On thread : Are we on the wrong 'No.1" criteria when scope buying?
    I think we all understand Nightforce hardiness in the field. Unfortunately for many of us it is an unaffordable luxury way outside what we’d pay for a rifle, scope and accessories combined. For me...

    Just finished my second ferret, apparently this one killed a few kiwis that were being monitored before he was caught in a cage trap, which is why they wanted the mouth open. It's going to be used...

    Mathias liked post by Ryan_Songhurst On thread : Scope recommendations
    Love how a blokes post asking for opinions on scopes around the $1k mark for shooting 500yds turns into a NF vs Kahles conversation. All the scopes mentioned in original post will do all the op wants...

    Mathias liked post by hebe On thread : Hunting the old way
    Midway through last year I was at a bit of a crossroads with hunting. I wasn’t sure why, but I needed to do something different. I’m not much of a long range hunter, and I was doing well enough bush...

    Mathias liked post by DUCKHUNTER On thread : 6x45 Rem barrel
    Just not a fan of the mini action (especially the detachable mag) - my 2nd choice would be a Zastava Mini Mauser - but figured a model 7 would give me excellent mag length

    Definitely! I was reasonably happy with the 2750fps, 2900 is next level! Looks like I’ve tracked down some BM8208, so going to give it a spin
