    It's not just cars. I have an old chrony f1, part of the lcd screen died. Bit of research, and getting the same screen, different manufacture and part number was about 4 dollars, instead of 50....

    I think you hit the nail on the head there. SFP win for size and weight, and price for comparable quality.

    This weekend gone, I went hunting with two friends. Neither had shot a public land deer yet, so we were keen to tick that objective off as well as get them some Christmas venison. Political...

    I'm just prepping for the annual Xmas freezer filler trip. Picked up 300 rounds of those 55 grn PMC Bronze cheap. Certainly group OK. Not as tight as handloads, but good enough out to 250m. But the...

    Another trip today - stuffed it up but it all ended up fine. I was taking it easy after knee surgery so mainly drove around. Came across a mob where I wasn’t expecting them and at 400yrds too far...

    Out again today with the 22-250 to protect a Manuka plantation and managed to cut off some goats from their normal escape path into the mature native. I sneaked in to 200yrds and thought they would...

    My T3 just back from DPT, will be interesting to see if I will lose much velocity with the 21 inch barrel and if I get an improvement in accuracy, although it was fine before the chop. 145 gr ELDX...

    There is nothing out of fashion about a skinny 130 grain 7mm bullet at 3100 fps. If we invented it today it would be a wonder hit. Marketing would call it the .277 Precision Annihilator. Delta...

    Final shaping of the forend and then it was time for carbon. I decided to go with a schnabel on the forend, I felt it was fitting with the style I was trying to achieve 251283 251284

    As other have mentioned. 2 shot groups don't tell you anything. You need 5 shot groups. Check scope is level with receiver with something better than mark 1 eyeball and zero it at 200m. Not 100m

    I put a few of my 150gr Gameking loads (loaded for sako 75) through it and it shot them really accurate, didn't chrono though, I think the 110 will be a good allrounder and do Bush to 400yds no...
