Go for the Benelli Lupo ,wood or synthetic they're both excellent. Or better still get a blaser k95 and you'll never have to change rifles again just get another barrel if you desire.!!

Winchester 760 / H 414 or the equivalent powders you can obtain in the UK will get you the best velocity in the 7 x57 . Been reloading with hornady 139 interlock, Sierra pro hunter with this powder for years it just works. Good for the heavier pills as well 160s. Primers in my experience...

Spartan or MTNGear out of New Zealand very good lightweight bipods. MTNGear.NZ

The first baffle after the thread is not removable. Hose clips with a bit of tyre tube inside will do the job but there are purpose made clamps for the job

Have a look at Exo mountain packs out of the states and Lowa Tibet boots both high quality and will last for a long time. Zamberlan boots also very good, I have a pair of these very comfortable.

Barnes 130 ttsx absolutely awesome projectile in .308, drive them as fast as you can,there's no upper limit on velocity for these projectiles. I've been using them for years.

Hi , I'm using 748 Winchester but that is getting hard to get regularly, 2206 would I think give similar results. Tac powder is also very good in the 308 with light projectiles. 3150 fps was easy to get and that's not a max charge.

Seeing as you're reloading Barnes ttsx 150, I'd suggest trying 130 ttsx in your rifle, with that long barrel you'll get some smoking velocity and they perform on everything. I've been using them for 10 plus years and don't intend to change in my .308

Hi all fellow reloaders, I'm getting close to taking ownership of a new Merkel k5 7x57r rifle and was wanting to know what other members with single shots like the k95 and k5 do for reloading these rimmed cartridges. I'm not knew to reloading just haven't loaded rimmed cases before. I...

I have three Z3 scopes, two 3 - 10 x42 and one 4-12 x50 dial up. All are excellent, great glass ,lightweight , and a pleasure to use and carry. I have the 4A reticle on the 3-10s and duplex on the 50mm, the 4A I find is so easy to use especially as your eyes get older I found I needed a...

Kuiu ,had one for years still going strong. Not too big like some , sits well on your chest when climbing hills.

Totally agree with your comment, man has screwed up the natural rythum of these majestic animals and many others. Too many bloody humans!.
