G'day, I've just picked up a sauer 100 in .223 with a 1:10 twist. It is mostly for shooting varmints like foxes, hares etc. I would like the ability to be able to shoot deer if the opportunity arises. Just wondering what experience people have had with .223 in 1:10 twist and some bullet...

I didn't mention budget because the cost of things varies so much between out countries. I'll look up your suggestion. Thank you

There seems to be thermal scopes growing on trees these days but I'm not sure what is actually worthwhile and what's not. Any recommendations for decent thermal scopes? Looking to take coyote sized game out to 200 yards with my sauer 100 in .223.

I have the monoflex, no barnes available in my country.

I think he's just referring to Western hunting though.

Not every state will allow 209 primers in ML season. To get everywhere you want a sidelock over an inline. Edit: I think there are one or two inline's that have exposed ignition.

Has anyone tried the 250gr monoflex on big game such as elk or moose. If so how has it performed? Ammo is starting to dry up here and I managed to get some. Planning on shooting game with them out to 200 yards.

G'day, I'm looking to extend my open sight capability with my CZ 550 7x57. My current setup have a very thick front blade sight and at 200 yards it is a push to make out enough of the target. My goal is to be able to take shots out to 200 yards on large game. Does anyone have suggestions for...

Appreciate the advice gents, In terms of being able to put animals down I'm not concerned, after all karamojo bell shot several hundred elephants with a 7x57 and i know a guy that has used them effectively on buffalo in Australia. To be honest I dont plan on shooting to 600 yards, lost...

G'day looking for some suggestions of projectiles and loads for elk size game out of a 7x57 at ranges to 600 yards. Appreciate any advice. Cheers

Mate you own a 270, it'd do that shooting with its eyes closed.

I'm already shaking my head at asking a stupid question but I'll do it all the same. So I bought a sako A7 in 30-06 and want to run some TTSX through it. Hung up on whether to go 150 or 165 and can't really see much of a benefit/drawback of either. The 165 has better bc but only by a...

G'day guys, Ended up pulling the trigger on a sako A7 in 30-06, couldn't go passed the shootability and accuracy of the sako. Now to think of a projectile to go with! Tempted to just go with 180gn TTSX as I have in the past with a 300wm I used to own but not sure yet. Will be for animals...

Well I'm set on 30-06 just not sure what model. I need to sell my Sako 75 first which I haven't been able to do yet.

I haven't shot the roughtech pro but I know she'd be a very heavy rifle to lug around the bush! I'm sure like any sako it'd tack hole with some work. My brother had a 30-06 and a 300wm in A7 both beautiful guns. I heart shot a fallow buck at 600 yards with the 300wm
