    Pommy and I had the unpleasant experience of another hunter 'glassing' us using his rifle recently. Not. Cool. At. All. We made ourselves obvious to him but really, just don't do it.

    You will also be surprised if you have a small pair of good binos say 8x25 in the bush it seems to help look though the bush better also. And I might add a little safer then lifting a rifle to check.

    Heavier than freeze dry yes but well worth it, I had stopped using freeze dry years ago and used kaiwaka meals when they were making them

    An easy way to smooth up and slightly lighten triggers is to dry-fire them several times while applying firm pressure to the striker or hammer with a piece of wood (leaning your upper body weight on...

    My 308LT trigger was quite sweet. No Trigger tech but good enough for its intended purpose. I backed off the spring pressure, tricky but possible (made a small bent tool) then used PTFE trigger...

    I can vouch for this as I’ve got the rifle now. I’d certainly be following this advice first before I paid money for any work.
