Definitely try a few different types of ammo first, a mix of sofpoints, premium tipped ammo, and high quality copper ammo. My old Tikka M65 .270 has a rotten barrel and can shoot Sako Powerhead blades into a 1 inch group at 120 meters (although I can't seem to find any more of them for love nor...

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but what would people say is the best thermal for say €1000?/£1000?

You're dead right, I should have specified that the clearance should incorporate the standard S&B bikini covers

Hello, I'm trying to fit a 56mm Schmidt and Bender Klassik to a new Tikka T3X. I have always used Warne steel mounts and have complete confidence in them. I am trying to mount the scope as low as possible to the bore, ideally with only 1/2mm clearance purely for cheek weld and head positioning...

4 is a Marlin X7

Serbia has adopted the 6.5 Grendel (or a very similar cartridge, it's hard to determine) for their AK. I'm not an expert by any means but it seems like an excellent choice. 1. It's designed to fit in standard AR actions and standard STANAG mags (with slightly reduced capacity, maybe 26 rounds...

I've always found the Federal 50gr to be very accurate in my semi auto

Don't use a GPO riflescope but have a set of GPO binos and they are truly excellent, crystal clear glass. Also have an S&B 8x56 on my .270 and it is bombproof. The glass is excellent and has not lost zero since I mounted it a few years ago. You won't be disappointed with either one I reckon

Had a similar issue with a Marlin a while back. For me the issue was that the screws that held the weaver/ picatinny rail to the receiver had worked loose. If they are loose, put a small drop of blue locktite thread locker on the threads and tighten them down again.

You said you wouldn't consider a Ruger but the Ruger M77 and Ruger Hawkeye are controlled round feed and available in left hand for not a lot of money. Probably not in 7x57 however.
