    Good stuff! Be warned, don't borrow a night vision unit to have a look with. You'll be left with a need to get one. Then in 12 months time repeat the process with a thermal. Experience, that thing...

    The ELDMs are likely a problem to get working well from any factory rifle. The easiest solution for a good factory setup would be a Howa mini 1:8" and shoot 77gr TMKs.

    Tonight, just on deer o’clock. I’d actually gone up the hill with the intention of longer range rabbits and hares, but these two were in the way. The .223 Remington will always have its place when it...
