    Worst case is have go at refilling it with gas yourself. If it's possible to unscrew the back off it, see if you know a friendly welder who will help. Put it in a bag and fill it with nitrogen or...

    Whilst I agree, particularly with the sentiment "feral rampant Doris", I think it is worth reading the below, from the herald article: ___ Her counsel Charles Bean today failed in his attempt to...

    the simplest way is to get a much more powerful air rifle- there are any number that will kill effectively out to 30-40 meters the best a little more - I found a slug just behind shoulder into...

    Think you'd be disappointed in what you might get for it. If you're hell bent on selling it Id drop the scope and rings, and the bipod. Bare rifle and suppressor might be more sell-able. 270 with a...

    Keep it. Drop down to 110gnrs at about 3000fps and you'll have equivalent to a 708/243. Dropping too a 223 is really the only way too make a significant step in power and recoil. Recoil with 110's...

    This sounds like heresy with the comments about the venerable 223. The elephant in the roomis that whilst all the haters are posting about the ineffectiveness of the 223 there must of been heaps...

    I took the handle off a case trimmer and put a battery drill on it. Takes 2-3mm off in no time. The dimpled cases will come out perfect after firing them as long as you can chamber them.
