My first centrefire was a 243win. An absolute pos BSA. My latest one is a 1:8 twist Tikka shooting 108gn ELD-Ms. As yet I have only shot a handful of animals with it at distances from 25 to 388...

I used a .243 with 95gr Targex with very satisfactory results. A mate recently got a 16" .243 for a little lightweight close range gun. After a lot of uncertainty about whether it would be...

I set up a .243 for the kids/missus to use. Shortend stock. Low bipod and basic holdover reticle scope. I load 90 gr Speers with 2208, works really well. They have all taken deer with it. Son even...

I'm just reading through this as I've started my boy on a similar journey. Got him some earmuffs this year and well that spoonie is destined for the taxidermist. 1 shot with the Beretta jump...

Yeah. I've always said I'd approach raising a girl the same as with a boy. A bit of pushing in certain directions but generally just making it fun. We always have a donut and her choice of fizzy...
