Re: Tell me about 'Hogue Stocks'

They are very comfortable to hold and feel sure in the hands both of my mates have one each in .243 and both complain about the same thing the rubber in the butt of stock seems extremely sticky and catches on clothing very easily when bringing the rifle to your shoulder.

Re: Commonwealth Games single trap

At a guess id say say it negate the need to change chokes mid comp bottom barrel is always more open choke most would use 3/4 bottom barrel - full choke top barrel

Re: 6.5 grendle or 6.8 spc

A stock standard 6.5x55 in mauser 96 or tikka t3 lite is the way to go, short barrel = uncomfortable muzzle blast my missus is 5' 6" and 58 kg and never complained once about shooting my mauser 96 until i sold it now she wants me to buy another one. A .222/.223 will handle the odd pig/goat if l...
