I agree with morerams, iv'e got a howa .223 stainless, shoots sub moa after pillar bedding with 26.5 g 2208 and 50gn b/t's v/max's and blitzkings, the trigger is adjustable and the stock is crap, barrel fit to stock is a joke and the action is as slick as, better even than my winnie 670. (Groups are...

Excellent, and like most good idea's ya kept it simple, nothing to break either, might have a go at that myself, thanks for the info.

looks like a holden jack, weld a base plate on for stability and away you go #10 max.

G'day pig007, I was surprised to see your thoughts on the .222 for roo shooting, when I was jackerooing in western Qld in the late sixties, there was a permanent roo shooter on the property, (1200 sq miles) who used a sako .222 and handloads and he was the best shot I have ever seen when it came to ...

gotta love that!

Hi Gaven, When I had my winnington rechambered/ rebarrelled from .243 to .308, the smith gave me a minimum spec (tight) chamber, and even new win. brass (empty) wouldn't seat in the chamber without full length resizing first. If it's any consolation it turned out to be very accurate. If I forced the...

Hi all, has anyone here had any actual experiences with night vision scopes, and knows the ins and outs of gen 1, gen 2 ,gen 2+ etc, as it's all a bit confusing to the un-initiated. I have a friend coming over from Germany that is very interested in buying one while he is here, and it's a big spend,...

hey there bushcook, i here ya, I know fat and round and stainless is the way to go if weight is not a prob, but I am looking for lightweight and rigid. I thought I read somewhere that the septics were using similar barrels in benchrest to great effect and have been for some time. Anyone else got any...

Hi dg, Great post on 1000yds, I have been interested in having a go at it for some time, and after reading an article in "American Rifleman" mag. I think it was, the author bought a rem700 lam varm rifle in .308 and nightforce scope and was competative without even bedding the action. Hard...

Thanks easy, troutmans article was exactly what I was after, sounds like a great rifle.
Thanks again,

Hi all, I am considering buying a howa /christensen arms varminter supreme in .243 as a dual purpose hunting long range varminting rifle, as it is light weight and rigid. I know uncle nick panned them in sporting shooter recently, but he did say he would like to have one after it had been pillar bed...

Hi tez, I have imported some shooting stuff, shells, projectiles, scope etc. and in Queensland you log onto the Qld police sight, weapons liscencing branch and download a "import permit application" which ask's for reason your importing etc. You just fill it in as it's self explanetry and ...

correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the browning a-bolt have a chrome
chamber and bore in wssm? and not the winnie? if so perhaps thats why the winnie burns out barrels and the a-bolt don't.
Could be why browning chromed em!
just a thought.
have a good new year all!
