I've always used Leupold bases and rings and while they work great, I'm getting tired of the surface rust that keeps appearing. I keep them oiled when I can but it only seems to take an overnight hunting trip to start appearing. It rubs off with an oily rag when I get to it but it's still annoying. ...

Cheers Mick. Will look into it

Can anyone recommend which comp/events are likely to be most beneficial for improving hunting accuracy? In the Sydney areas if possible..

Cheers.

Just saw the add on used guns. I wouldn't buy anything from that particular dealer. Send me a pm if you want to know why. Just my personal experience of course...

Are you close to the Blue Mountains by any chance? I might be still interested in selling my .270 remington for not much more than that.

I agree with Con. I really think the .270 needs a 24inch barrel to shine.

In any case, it's certainly a step up from the .243.

Much appreciated mate. Hoping for some good news from the doctor today. Would make for a nice bday!

How much Trev? and let us know your opinion of them. I need a couple myself.

Give it back to me then!

That Jungle warrior is a good blade! I belted the crap out of it and it held it's edge well. Fun knife.

Have a good look and feel of the American before you buy one mate. I'm not sure how the rimfire versions are but I'm pretty dissapointed with the .223 I have. It shoots ok, but fit, finish and feel leave a lot to be desired even considering the price tag.

Has anyone got any 30cal hunting pills in 150-165gr weight they'd be willing to sell or trade for 10 of? Also after some 270 cal pills in 130gr and 25cal in 100 or 110gr. I have 130gr Nosler Partitions and 140gr SST (270), 165gr Speer Hotcors, 180gr Woodleighs and 168gr Speer Match (30cal) and 87gr ...

I'm running 130gr ACP's at the moment with 47.5gr 2208 for 2920fps from the tikka lite. Usually groups around the 20mm mark but still jumps around a bit in the light rifle.

My other load with 165gr Speers certainly lets you know how it feels about being forced down the barrel.

Who's using what? Looking for a medium game load using 100gr pills. Not sure if I really need to go premium pills for chest shots on deer, pigs or goats. Biggest deer is likely to be Fallow. Thinking it'll probably be my go to goat gun. I've got some 87gr Speer Hotcors but I'm not sure how they'd go...

Now you've done it! Another project on the cards...

I can't recall what I paid for mine as it was years ago. Not a bad bit of kit though for anyone interested.

No 6.5 mandrel though Camel for your new tube!! If only someone (like myself) had a spare one they were willing to part with
