Thank you, most helpful. Looking to upgrade so keen to know all the options.

What's the difference between the Bolt and Ace 50R (apart from price)?

It depends on the time of year too and how quickly the deer is gralloched after shot. This starts the cooling process. 3-4 hours sounds sensible.

shot placement is more of a factor

Have the landig 9000 and 10000. Both been excellent buys. 9000 tends to be the clean fridge and shelves plus wipe down surfaces are perfect. The 10000 is "in fur" with rails and elec hoist for fallow, roe and munties. Buy quailty once!

Yes agreed. Have the forest 10 for fallow and the mini safari / hunter for munty and roe. Holds an edge well and sensible money. Both in orange and haven't lost one yet!

I use barnes 130grn TTSX, I always weigh before I reload and never noticed a variaton of more than 0.2 Maybe I have older manuf stock.

Bump

Thank you

Thank you. Just found and read that.

About to buy the draco D635 or habrok 4k 35. Read the whole post and interested in any updates for those on the D635 pls. I am really keen on the optical channel for deer ID and filming for land owners.

I have a DPT on my 308, plus wildcat and a freyr for other calibres. DPT is light and compact, which helps getting the rifle on and off the sticks for woodland stalking. Wildcat is good but heavier and better on recoil. Freyr is expensive and works, by far the lightest and bought for a hill...

Atlas are good and more adjustable than a harris. Used to good effect on clear fell, from high seats and on dead falls trees. Angle and length of legs gives lots of options. Mine has pica rail adaptor and all rifles have rails so easy to swap

Bump.
