    Nice one Kiwi3006

    thats pretty good shooting IMO. there are no truely calm places in New Zealand unlike the bigger countries. I've heard alot of good things about the VLDs and there long range ability to down game. I couldnt get ahold of any 168VLDS and while i was waiting for them to come in stock the...

    Nice one Kiwi3006

    I was talking about your article was interested in seeing what one it was. as it turned out i had already read it and it was a great read. love stories of long range hunting. did it end up shooting half MOA to 600yards like you wanted? what shot best? You might find that you could just...

    barrel weight and accuracy problems

    after i got the bolt to not touch the stock, i went looking for other problems. there was a big blob of epoxy right beside the piller so the floor plate would have been pivoting around on that, im not sure how id missed that befor or why it was there, but i ground it down so it wasnt interfering...

    barrel weight and accuracy problems

    the mag box can wiggle around. the mount is on tight and the rings were tight but they were never lapped so i just put some signature rings on to see if that changes anything. ive made room for the bolt to close without bottoming out on the stock. I've been pretty busy with work and it seems...

    barrel weight and accuracy problems

    the rifle was built by the one person, who is meant to be a reputable gunsmith in new zealand. ill deffinatly check if the mag box is floating and maybe see if i can get something done about this bedding situation. I was actually quite surprised when i relised that the bolt could touch the...

    barrel weight and accuracy problems

    okay accuracy wise. i would call 3 out of 5 shots into a half inch at 100yards a very good load. ive used 3 different bullets of different weights and different styles with 3 different powders and it wont shoot. actually i just noticed the bolt handle touches the stock when its closed. might...

    6-6.5x47 Lapua in LA?

    One of the only problems could be is feeding. might notwork so well because the case is so short. there is heaps of room on a rem700SA! even with 115grs seated wayyyy out
