Price drop. £1200. These scopes are £2200 new!

On this do we know what other powders RS supply to Alliant? I think RS 80 might = RL 33. Not sure on any others though. Would love to have RL 26 back, rumer that it’s made by RS too

It’s quite cool that you .270 users are turning them into .25-06’s in effect! Just saying… 😉

Gen 1 Swarovski Z6i 5–30x50 BT with zniki rings. Had since new, but no box etc. £900. Rings and base not included. A few scratches here and there, but glass is perfect.

Price drop £1600

As above I’m selling my March 2.5x25x52 1/4 MOA MTR-5 scope. Purchase from here a few years ago, but have never really used it. £1700 The scope is has no major scratches or abrasions to the body, and no marks on the glass. The only minor marks are on the illumination dial. Comes boxed with all...

They’ve done many tests with the 8.6 blackout. This is .338 in our language. They’ve used a 300 gr Barnes for buffalo in Africa. I’m not sure what they used for elk and deer to be honest. They said it’s killing is far beyond expectation. Caveat that spin drift has to be taken into account, and...

I’m not sure there’s argument here. A lead fragmenting bullet will kill faster than a monolithic copper bullet all things being equal and fair. it causes a larger wound and faster bleeding. If we could shoot everything in the exact right place every time then a solid bullet could make the same...

Well that’s 2x recommendations for Yew Tree then.

I’ve got two R8 stocks with several barrels and an R93 too. All are 22mm. With the flexibility of having different barrels you may as well be able to have anything you want. It also allows custom barrels etc. especially now carbon barrels are popular.

One not mentioned so far is the 102 yew tree bullet. Lathe turned and made in Wiltshire. They’ve been very accurate. I’ve also tried the 101 LRX in terms of copper. I’ve gone back to lead however. The ES was huge with the copper bullets in my 25-06. For example the yew tree bullet would be...

I’m reluctantly selling my Defender 110 due to relocation. It’s been completely revamped by Lucari Design as you can see. Starts and runs but needs a new battery and turbo fitting. A few cosmetic bits here and there need doing if someone wanted to make it perfect but its in good condition. I...

Would be worth going with a slower powder for heavy bullets if you want to up velocity

This discussion is why I bought a 25-06 as a small/medium deer cartridge . 80-100 gr copper bullets work and at high velocity. I think the future will be lathe turned fragmenting bullets, which we are already seeing. But with the USA being the driving force of change slower twist short barrels...

It’s good that the.25 is getting some love now. Is I rebarrel my .25-06 I’ll probably AI it too.
