The change is voted last year 17 July. It still has to be published before it's "law". Some bureaucratic employees, wich are anti, seem to slow it down, as much as they can. Hard to believe, but reality. We live in hope.

Up to now, we are not allowed to have moderators. This will now change soon. I look a bit around to get some information. New Zealand brands and Wildcat seem not becoming available here. I have most interest in the F&D Ultimate. You reed a lot about F&D. Does anybody have personal experience...

I have good results with Fox factory ammo 80 gr. Excellent accuracy and the limited experience on roe was very good. Rem 700 , older rifle. Remember that with traditional cup and core you start with 100 gr and you end up with 60-65 gr. With copper you start with 80 gr and probably end up with...

Thanks. I tried them yesterday out of my window, next to the Swaro 6x42. Difficult, as the Swaro is on the rifle and easier to hold in the good position. The Zeiss was difficult to hold steady. The eyebox seems small. The 6x42 looked brighter, compared to the Zeiss on 6x. I'll take it this...

Indeed the 7x64 should be there. If we can believe the RWS catalogue, very close to the 7mm RM. Slightly better than the 280 rem.

I can buy ( low price) a Zeiss Diavari 3-9x42 with plex reticle and 1" tube. I am used to the n°4 for low light on all my other rifles. As I have a Krico full stock rifle in 243 with EAW swing off mounts// 1" rings it would suit. There is an old Swaro 6x42 on it. The tube of the Swaro is...

A couple of friends use the 270 WSM a lot and are very pleased about it. Including big stags in Poland. They wouldn't change for no money. Performance with reasonable recoil.

Kesslerin, as nice as they come. This would be a bargain price.

Does anybody, already have experience with these? I am using GGG - 168 gr SMK to practice, as well as 77gr SMK in my 223. VERY pleased with this ammo. 223 is a T3 with 1-8" barrel and 308 is a T3x. Both shoot 7 to 11 mm 3 shot groups at 100m on a regular basis. Wich is 1/3 MOA. If the "game"...

Innomount QD system is excellent. I have used Leupold QRW rings and no good. POI shifted to much for my taste. You can also use the Innomount multirail. On this you can use their own QD system and Blaser saddle mounts. The Innomount Zero Stop mount allows you, on the multirail, to swap a NV...

My Remington shoots the Fox 80 gr factory ammo with good precision. To little experience on game. But the one that I shot with it, was very clean. Hardly any dammage to the meat.

Thanks. Availability is the key, this moment. Only found the 168 grain Vor-Tx. My usual shop is out of Sako at the moment. Next delivery Jan 2026. In the future I hope to get the new Lapua TRX ammo. Should be available in a few weeks. They make a nice 150 gr boat tail bullet with a high BC...

I have a red stag hunt coming on later this year. I will be using my '06. I don't reload and choice in factory , lead free ammo, is not huge over here. I hesitate between the 162 grain Sako Blade and the 168 grain Vor-tx Barnes TTSX . Anybody bad experiences with one of these on + 100 kg...

I use a Beretta 687 O/U with double triggers and mobil chokes. We have to use steel for 15-20 years. Don't really remember. With steel I use Rio 24g n°5 for pheasants and n°4 for hare. Hardly ever n°3. 99% of the time walked up over spaniels. Chokes cyl- 1/4 , sometimes cyl- 1/2 When I still...
