Gday Esshup, Load is 97gr AR2225 behind a 250gr pill. Did not chrony this load but should give around 2850fps. Have not weighed the rifle but should be around a total weight of 13lb. I have taken the rings off and cleaned them was not any grease or oil underneath. Tadge

Gday Jon A, Rings still have a few thou gap either side. I'm a bit lost on this one. Tadge

Gday Fellas, I went down the range to sight in my 338LAP. I'm running a VX3 6.5-20X50 in MK4 rings. After about 10 good groups the POI changed and I noticed my scope had slipped AFT (thats right AFT not FWD) by about 1/4inch. The rings were lapped and torqued to 40in/lb. 40 in/lb is...

Hi All, Looking at putting a brake on a Rem 700 LTR 300SAUM. Anyone got any opinions or comments on which one to choose. I am pretty keen on the JPrifles recoil eliminator, but they dont have any in stock. Cheers Tadge

Gday guys, I am after the outside diameter of the barrels on a Remington 700p and a 700 LTR. Looking a getting a brake for one, the local GS doesnt know. Thanks in advance. Cheers Tadge

Gday Lads, Been having a chat with some of the lads from my local big bore club, they are suggesting a .308 for pigs to a .338 WM for the buff, a .300 with a muzzle brake seems like a good all rounder by some. I am bloody confused the .300 sounds good to me, 99.9% of the time I will be...

Thank you all for the replys, I was after the one 'all rounder' rifle but like girls...........there is just no such thing!! I might get a simple F class in .308 and then a general purpose hunting rifle. I have only shot .22-250 and .308's and I am worried about recoil with the bigger...

Gday All, I'm fairly new to this long range caper, bear with me. For the last 15 or so years I have hunted small game with a 22-.250, I have since moved to the top end of australia, unfortunatly most of the game up here is a little big for the 22. I have joined the local big bore rifle...
