Correct, that was in error. What I think I was trying to to convey was that at 50 then you needs more clicks at half the distance if the adjustment is 1/4” at 100 yards. 8 clicks at 50 to the inch because it is half the distance that the click value is set at.

We are doing the math differently. Yes 2clicks is a half inch at 100 and 1” at 200 The same way that 4 clicks is 1” at 50. Aside from my rambling above my idea is that to do the math work back from the 100yard zero. You are already 4 clicks up at 100. Dial back or Subtract these from the...

For those hitting an inch high at 100 or 1.5” or 2” whatever suits there needs and cartridge trajectory the idea is know it’s hitting an inch high at 100 means no dialling. Aim and squeeze out to 200 and the impact should be in the kill zone. It’s about keeping it simple and those methods are...

I have used Viper Flex on several stalks in Africa and found them stable. Very stable for someone who had not used them previously, Each stalk was successful. I have a light tripod that I tried prior to travelling. I have used a home made set and recently purchased a Sunwayfoto CS3640 with...

Interesting comments. I don’t understand the science behind it or the design differences as it’s not an option to have them for hunting here so I haven’t researched these. I used one in South Africa and I know they are not restricted but there are very limited reasons these are approved in...

Just chiming in on your post/question. ADI Australia make various powders. The one I use in in a 20” 7mm-08 is named AR2208. The same powder is sold to Hodgdon powders in the US and labelled as Varget under the Hodgdon brand

But the 7mm-08 is a great round if you can source ammo

Worth checking out. They come apart for cleaning and maintenance

Not sure what it would cost to modify this heavy barrel vs any other option. Inches are ounces on a a straight taper. I think 20” loooks in proportion. I would like to build a 21” hunting rifle just to be different because my Tikkas are 22”

I have both in Tikka CTR models with 20” The compact Tactical Rifle (CTR) is slightly heavier than hunting models due to a medium weight threaded barrel but I would still consider it light enough to hunt unless you want a lightweight. I love my 7-08 but if I were back to factory ammo and one...

I had the procedure to correct my vision. I was using single use contacts prior to this to correct my visual vision. I have mono vision which might have been referred to as blended where one is for close and the other for distance. I used contacts in the same way apparently. They were...

The PPU. Factory loads are reasonably priced in Australia in 150gn sp. As a reloaded I have used Nosler BT and many others. Each rifle might vary in what groups well so perhaps look at what’s available and try them in your rifle. It means working up but it might get the best result in the end

No harm done. I would like to have one down here in the colony, I like the cartridge suggestion. I think owning a Rigby is more about the prestige. It’s one thing to find the funds but another to truly afford it.

Model 7 Remingtons seem to be thin on the ground. .260 is not so common either but a step up from the .243 it’s perfectly balanced in that configuration.

As a hunter I might be the odd one out. I eat it but I’m not excited by game meat in general. I would never serve it without telling guests what it is. If they don’t listen I tried. I would not try hide its origin to tell them after the fact. Cooking a rabbit I shot as a kid was more a novelty...
