Thanks! Makes you wonder why such rifles are even manufactured. I was seriously considering Dualis in .300 WM but I would probably go for Remington 7600 in 30-06. Cheers

Hi, I am looking at Browning pump action in one of the above calibres. Unfortunately (?) it comes with 20” barrel. I would appreciate some informed comments regarding the loss of velocity/energy as well as the increased muzzle blast associated with the shorter barrel. Thanks!

I am fairly new to scopes but I believe that “When you're on a good thing, stick to it”. I currently have 10x40mm Elite 3200 as well as 3-9 x 40 Elite 3200 and I am very happy with their performance. Accordingly, I have decided to get Bushnell Elite for what will be my first “big bore” (300 win...

Thanks Jon! Cheers

Thanks Jon and RBrowning! Any thoughts on Elite 4200 2.5-10 x 50 with 30mm tube?

Which would be a better proposition for an all-around hunting rifle? Thanks!

I am probably biased but this would be (is!) my choice. Cheers

There is no way I would use T3 Lite in anything above 308. The 300 winmag I have been thinking about is Howa/Weatherby Vanguard. I went to the range yesterday and my neighbour was shooting 30-06 with a brake (???). Even with the ear muffs the experience was rather unpleasant and I have decided...

Thanks Chris, some years ago one of my friends who is about half my size was able to shoot comfortably my Rossi 44 magnum carbine, which I thought was created by the devil with a specific purpose to make my life miserable. What you say makes a lot of sense but on the other hand the same fellow...

I am six feet tall and weigh more than 200 pounds, but I am still bit weary when it comes to recoil. On the other hand I am quite willing to increase the weight of the rifle considerably. This leads to another question, how much would I have to add to the weight of a “standard” rifle to make the...

I am about to have a go at some long range shooting, occasionally hunting. I have been shooting for many years but nothing bigger that 308 and I would appreciate some advice. At this stage I have decided to get 300 Winchester Magnum (I have contemplated 338 Win Mag) and I don’t think that I will...

Thanks Wayne, 300 Win Mag it will be. Cheers

…How about tracking an African elephant for 31 days, sleeping in the veldt, being stung by scorpions, sucked dry by mosquitoes, with nothing but maize porridge for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with no early morning coffee, no cold beer, and certainly no Jack Daniels to clear the dust clotting...

I am about to get one of the above (link here) . I would appreciate some advice as to which will be more suitable for long distance target shooting? Thanks. BTW I am aware that there are better options but my question is strictly about the above calibres. [ 08-13-2004: Message edited by...

Tikka T3 VARMINT STAINLESS is probably the most affordable if you are looking for a quality. Your local dealer should have it under A$1,300. Cheers [ 07-20-2004: Message edited by: T3Shooter ]
