    What seems to be common nowadays is the hype of long range shooting. So much gear available to suit this except the shooter may not have the experience or ability to shoot long range. Bigger scopes...

    How long is a piece of string? Depends on what country you hunting, the cal, the area etc. Results dont mean much between a guy that bush stalks thick bush using a 44mag to the guy that uses a 7m...

    I always tend towards most of my deer being at 50 yards or less with the odd one or two being around the 250-300 yard mark. Mostly because I don’t like open country hunting too much and long range...

    I’ve shot a bunch more animals since I commented on the other thread that’s been linked in here, but the general gist is the same. I’ve shot animals out to 350m but have only shot a few past 200. I’d...

    Thanks for all the comments and encouragement everyone. Good point. I don't think I've shot with a Sako Forester, but I did use a borrowed Alpine .270 for a few months (English, based on an...

    I really like what you are doing. For me the fore-end on the Totara stock is a bit slim and shallow to get a good grip for off-hand shots. Have you ever used a Sako Forester or similar with the flat...

    Inletting of barrelled action and bottom metal has gone as far as I'm going to take it on the mill. Time to break out the inletting black and sharpen up the chisels and scrapers for the final...
