Hi all, I recently tried ti inprove the accuracy in my Tikka T3 sporter in 223 by free floating and glass bedding it, sadly though I had tbe opposite effect. It used to shoot Hornady training ammo under .75moa all the time, and would often be close to .5, but I thought Id see what more...

Seen a few set ups recently with a red dot and a 1-4x24 scope stacked on top of each other. What is the point of this? To me it seems a waste of time. Is not the purpose of a 1-4 scope so you get the advantages of a red dot, yet also get a much better optic at longer ranges, hence making the...

Hi, Im wanting to buy some target turrets for my Nikon Monarch 4-16. I know they used to sell a kit, but think they may have stopped now. Could anyone point me in the right direction to find some? Or if someone has some surplus ones perhaps send me a PM. Thanks, Sam

http://www.tastefullyoffensive.com/2014/05/baby-prairie-dog-plays-with-cat.html Videos like this almost make me feel bad about some of the hunting I do. It's funny that things that are often seen as pests can make some really cool pets. Does anyone else ever see things that make them almost...

I brought something from Midway and had it sent to an address in Oregon, all the products were said to be in stock and the transaction went through. I never received an email regarding my orders status so I checked on my account and it says it's on hold. I've search all over the interweb and...

I currently have a Nikon Monarch scope mounted to my Tikka T3 with Warne steel rings and Burris steel bases. I wanted to know how much weight I would save if I were to buy a set of Talleys lightweight aluminium rings? Done some searches, but haven't been able to come up with an actual figure...

Anyone here using either VV N133 or ADI Benchmark 1 in their 223? I was looking for the best velocity I could with a 53gr Vmax and these two powders seemed to be what most were using (meant to be pretty much same powder), with 25.4gr im getting good accuracy but only 3230fps from a 24" barrel, I...

I wonder if any of you other folks have come across this magic ammo. I have now shot 3 cotton tail rabbits all under 70yards away with my 17hmr using 20gr XTP ammo, and it appears the rabbits have died from shock. No sign of a entry wound, no sign of an exit wound, no blood at all. And...

I was wanting a 1907/USGI style sling for hunting or shooting target. Trouble was I couldn't find any for sale locally, and it was going to be quite expensive to get one from the US. I also wanted a nylon one, as the leather and brass would look great on a wooden gun, but I though nylon would...

I was checking out Midway USAs Youtube channel (which I'd strongly recommend to anyone into gunsmithing or wood working) and I came across this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdyGeNHfbiA It seems that everything has to have the word Tactical before it's a decent product these days...

Now I always thought that the field of view of a scope was directly related to the objective size of a scope. But I was looking at Leupold fixed powered scopes, specifically the 4x28 and the 4x33 FX series scopes and it quotes that the 4x28 has a wider FOV. So what does contribute to the FOV of...

Hi all. Have recently been wondering about the ethics of hunting for fun. Now when I was younger I used to love hunting what I'd now call vermin, for fun. I never new about crop damage and the trouble they cause, I used to shoot them because I liked shooting them. I've been wondering about the...

I have to noticed there are quite a few videos on Youtube of gun owners who are legally allowed to open carry a weapon in public but seem to do so in areas where they know someone will be upset/worried and call the police. And then argue with police about their rights. Now I can certainly see...

Hi all. A friend of mine has just brought one of these ARs so thought I'f share my thoughts on it. I don't know much about ARs but I'll do my best. First up, the gun build quality felt excellent. The fit between the upper and lower was excellent, almost no play what so ever, but it was still...

It seems as though a lot of people are using very heavy bullets in their 308 for long range shooting, generally 166-175gr to get the highest BC possible. Now Berger's website claims a BC of .515 for their 175gr target bullets. Sierra's website claims a BC of .504 for their 155gr Palma matchking...

I have a Tikka T3 lite in 223 and its a pretty good shooter, but have a bit of trouble with the barrel heating up pretty quickly. I Have just seen a second hand (but almost brand new), Tikka Varmint barrel in 223 come up for sale for what I think is a good price. I know that a heavy barrel will...

Has anyone used the new (newish) Bushnell G-force 1300? I've been in need of a range finder for a long time and finally have the money for one, my mate has a Leica 1600 which works a treat, but I don't have the money for that. Wanting a range finder that can accurately get an animal or tree...

I used to use my Remington 597 as my go to gun for small game and varmints, but recently I have gotten a 17hmr, and have fallen head over heels for it, I love the little gun. I hear about the ammo price being the big factor in why it isn't so popular, but I find with the 17 each time I pull the...

Ihave a Nikko Stirling gold crown scope my dad brought 20 years ago and its marked as a Wide angle 4x32. When I compare it side by side to all my adjustable magnification scopes set on 4x the WA Nikko has a much much wider field of view. The is amazing, why are there not many wide angle scopes...

My girlfriend giver of great gifts brought me a CZ 452 17hmr for my birthday. According to the paper work it was made in 2008 and since then has some black rust like marks on the bolt and inside the action. I tried using normal oil and a nylon brush to remove them which kinda worked but didn't...
