Greetings, To me the problem is the two minutes between shots. It is almost impossible to sit rock still for two minutes again and again. Get into a comfortable shooting position and fire your group...

My son bought one of the dark marlin 45 70s a couple years ago. I thought it was pretty impressive so when i saw these come out in the US and the reviews I knew I had to get one. Picked up the...

You don't need a bull barrel to shoot 500m. It's just a cool factor thing. You need a rifle that puts a cold bore and follow up shot into sub inch reliably. 3/4 inch is better. Very doable with a...

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the expertise. Today I got myself a Tikka .308 (one of the strata ones) and a Leupold VX-5HD. Stoked with it! May it serve me well for many years!

What kind of cycling issues are you having? Poor feeding from the mag? I've been eying the semi auto cousin Bergara BXR but that uses the rotary style mag.

I’ve got a BXR semi, it’s extremely accurate with all ammo I’ve tried. Cycles perfectly, have put about 1000 rounds thru it now. The bolt has definitely freed up a bit in that time. Sent from...
