My pal uses an S Tac with digital nv and he loves it. I use an Archer behind a Sidewinder 3-12x50 and I love it. Yet to look at the Archer through the S Tac but I will. Would like to upgrade the scope but don't want to lose the field of view. Thinking about the Delta Titanium @ 2.5-15x56. Big...

I designed these some years ago. The difference being an adjustable fishing rod rest for the back leg. My rifle spends zero time on the ground. It's a work station when it needs to be or simply waits while I reload, fix a problem or make a cup of tea.

Back in the day I was a fabricator welder. I was of the opinion that cast couldn't be welded, at least not properly. Then I worked at a place where, amongst other stuff they had a section where they specialised in cast welding cracked engine blocks. They would build an oven around the bl;ock and...

Sorry for your loss finn. I think I know what you're feeling. I'm very much the same inasmuch as I've often asked myself if I'm unemotional or unfeeling followed often by some form of guilt, normally though when the situation involves people who don't normally need outside help. But I know I'm...

I shoot mainly at night for bunnies with an Archer behind a 24x scope. I won't take the shot unless it's a clear no miss head shot. My 22lr will only give me this to around 65yds at night. My CZ 527 in 17 Hornet is scary accurate but very loud and blows up bunnies even using the little 17 grain...

Thanks for the reminder Dodgy. I used this to establish that the little 17 grain bullet would still be stable at subsonic speeds in a 1:9 twist.

Sorry guys, you'll have to walk me through it. I have Strelok and a couple of others. I'm zeroed at 150yds with 3550. I then fire a low load from 100yds that the Chrony says is 1550 but it's not on the target at all. Without changing my zero, how far below my 3550 zero will the bullet hit?

I'm slightly cocerned that this may be a really stupid question but... My 17 Hornet is zeroed at 150yds at around 3550fps. I'm aiming to find a load that's a bit under HMR for quiet night time bunnies. The question is this. Using a lower charge giving say 1550fps and shooting from say 100yds...

Add an extra leg for more stability and practical uses.

I sold mine. Wasn't good with the Archer but that's tubed. Don't know about digital N/V.

I'm quickly finding out that it's not always what you want but what you can get hold of. I have a couple of hundred 20gr Vmax to play around with. I will try the others as I find them. What's needed to form from 22 hornet brass? I read about it but haven't seen the makings. It took me along time...

So there's not a problem with the cases. Good to know. As for the date, I'll agree there's nothing wrong with being a couple of years older except if you look at the date on the ad it clearly states 2016 and as long as there's been no significant updates since 2014. I ran out of time to...

A new stock will be quite acceptable despite the gun being two years older than stated in the ad. The brass has not been sized. This is how it came from once fired.

I like your philosophy Muir and I don't think i'm being paranoid but I'm retired and just can't afford to make a mistake. Bought it from an ad and a conversation with a salesman who assured me there was nothing wrong with it. The right side of the forend; Left side of the forend. There's...

Have recently bought a CZ 17 hornet but I think it's a wrong un and will have to go back. Thought I was getting a good deal but hasn't worked out that way. Was told the gun was new 2016. turns out to be 2014 and has a slight split in the forend. I bought a second hand Hardy Gen V with it...
