As other have mentioned. 2 shot groups don't tell you anything. You need 5 shot groups. Check scope is level with receiver with something better than mark 1 eyeball and zero it at 200m. Not 100m

In an extreme case (and lots for you to che k first), my mate had this on his rifle. The rear holes in the reciever for the scope bases were out a touch to one side. Bugger all I might add. He was...

I did a dry cure ham once. Tunnel boned the back leg. Stuffed it with salt, covered it in salt. Sat a rock on it. Changed the salt the next day, then 2 days later, then a week later. Left it in the...

I leave the bolts and mags in my rifles, however I also leave the trigger locks on in the safe, saves me looking for them when needed.

Yes, an English mate 15 yrs ago was searching for bolts to fit a bevy of fine and collectable rifles on behalf of an estate. Original owner had died. The bolts were kept separate. Consensus was...

Yup, storing bolts separately is only a recommendation, only ammo needs to be stored separately.

I'm going to question some of that. My rifles and ammo are are stored separately. But rifle bolts and mags live in the rifles they belong to. I have a stout room, fire door with decent lock, bars on...

I stopped using that bullet after a run of needing two shots to kill Tahr with my 2506 - not a problem I've had before or since. Shit pill for me in that weight and in that cartridge and calibre.

Only when you ate the "leady" bits every time, or if you have adopted the advice given me on a buffalo hunt. Shoot, shoot again then again and then once more.

What is the basis for this statement? I eat venison several times a week, if I were not cautious about my butchery practises, I would be consuming lead several times a week.

I think one thing that is true now days is that with modern machining pretty much any new rifle you buy is going to be capable of the accuracy required for hunting and you don’t need to spend a ton...

I don't have the scores but maybe 50-60 %, pretty much what I'd expect from "hunters" in difficult wind conditions. My first shot splash was a tiny bit left of plate, a dead deer if it was facing...
