243 my choice, even more so if you are introducing kids. IF you are pushing out to 400 mtr look to Higher BC bullets several have been listed above. If buying new get a 1:8 twist factory barrel and...

.243 Winchester is my cartridge of choice, 95 Targex or 95 Berger and 105 Targex my choice for big animal, small animal, far away or near. If you choose a cartridge based on "room for error" maybe...

The pads a couple of mm high but looks to fit the stock correctly, just put on slightly off. I doubt it's the problem though

A carbine is just a short rifle for cavalry. These were only useful for cartridge rifles from the mid 1800's. A short rifle for hunting is a Stutzen. These date from at least the middle 1700's. One I...

It's part of the bull shit culture. Anyway, most so called "bush pigs" never go bush hunting their entire lives. It's a fad more than a necessity. No one called a Model 7 with a 18/20" barrel a...
