I wonder if the new owners will reduce the number of sales, because it seems that people only really buy from Kuiu when the sales are on.

@farrieral, how do you get on stalking with the 24" barrel? I'm looking for a 6.5 PRC myself and considered the Tikka Ace Game, but wondered if 24" barrel would be a bit too long for stalking, particularly if going through woodland/forestry. Although it would sacrifice some muzzle velocity, I...

@wytonpjs, did the new mag fix your feed problems? I have a very early S20 with the plastic insert to the mag, but it is still problematic, so wondering about a new magazine too. Cheers.

Thanks for that info, I wasn't aware. But when has the actual facts and figures got in the way of a politician arguing black is white...? Unfortunately I think they will still try to argue the case that they have freed up capacity.

Being the sceptic I am, could the seemingly 'quick' (in government timescales) move to remove moderators from FACs reduce the load on Police Firearms departments sufficiently to allow them to accommodate the increase in admin from shotguns being included on FACs?.... I can see the Labour...

I wholeheartedly agree with @Dorsettaff and @Deerkeeper2, the creation of this DMC3 accreditation is solving a problem that doesn't exist. And an accreditation is all it is - the learning is paid for separately by the candidate and all the organisers do is assess your cull records and a deer...

Deer Central pro slings are great quality too and UK manufactured, but I didn't fancy getting a leather sling, hence went for the Praesidia Hunter. You can get both from Deer Central BTW.

As @Mungo said, Praesidia slings are excellent and I went to them from a Z-aim. The mechanical/magnetic clasp takes a bit of getting used to, but provides many more pros than cons once you've got it sorted.

Got 100’s of Norma cases, once fired. Heading up to Dumfries (Dalry) on Sunday if that would help. Don’t know what the going rate is for brass.

Sorry if that wasn't clear. I've taken this picture off the internet, which should hopefully show what I mean.

What you're seeing with your .243 shooting 2" high at 100 yards and then 6" high at 200 yards is a classic case of bullet trajectory physics — and it's likely down to one or both of the following setup factors. 1. Scope height over bore: If your scope is mounted significantly higher than the...

Just following this theme, I had a go on ChatGPT and asked what it thought about the 6.5 creedmoor and how it equated to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. It came up with this, which I couldn't stop laughing at... The 6.5 Creedmoor is the Taylor Swift Eras Tour of the shooting world—bloated...

I believe Norma have recently stopped making these because I use them and tried to get some more the other week only to be told they are not available. Been removed from the Norma website too..

Very little in it, but because the Habrok HL60’s image processing really seem to force the contract to highlight hot objects, it JUST edges the Merger XL50s.

Don't forget that base magnification and field of view will have a big bearing on your choice. If you are predominantly woodland stalking and scanning with the thermal binos, you will want a relatively low base magnification. I have found that 2.5x is just about right. Anything much more than...
