I was given a long branch no 4 mk 1* it has had a barrel swap at some time and the bolt is also not original but it shoots very well my first 3 shot group at 100 yards blew me away at just over an...

Greetins All, I think I have part of the answer to that question. My No4 with a near new two groove barrel often shoots MoA groups with the 174 grain Round Nose Hornady and light loads. It is...

What if you're like me and put a suppressor on your factory 20" 270. Does that mean my rifle shoots faster and quieter? I also have a suppressed 223 and the first time I took my son to the range...

My old SMLE has a 16,5" barrel, it was originally a bail gun for pig hinting when I was a kid back in the early 1980s. Funny; there is one area of bush where I hunt goats, in one particular spot...

I'd love a supressor here in Australia but they're prohibited. The greatest damage to my ears due to noise has come from the seat and 2 curtain airbags going off in my car, thats left me with the...

My remaining hearing is 35% left ear and 45% right ear. After 55 years of firing rifles and repairing vehicles for the same time period I very much value all I have left. Also severe continuous...

Everything in life is a compromise, and rifles are no different. Having them bare looks better, they carry and balance better, but I have to wear noise canceling muffs when I hunt with them. Hunt...

Supressors or brakes would spoil the balance and the good looks of this: 198105 Brno M21 7x57.

I like the bare look and have only used them until recently when I had my 223 , 6.5 X 55 and 300 Win Mag suppressed, got to admit I like the suppressed ones even though they are a bit differently...

The reality of it is that you should still be using hearing protection with most suppressed Centerfire rifles. They will still cause hearing damage but not on the same level as unsuppressed . I...

i like the balance and pointability of a bare rifle. i just value my hearing more than the ergonomics.

I went to suppressed rifles some 3 years ago to try and preserve what hearing I have left. I wish I did it years ago. Not wearing hearing protection as an apprentice fitter welder in the teenage...

I heard a rumour you have started shooting deer with a suppressed rifle - do I have to post photos?

My 308 Zastava is original and unthreaded. If I thread it I will shorten it, and I can't bring myself to do it. I may actually have to trade it for something already threaded...
