I’ll take it, pm me and let me know how you want to be paid please

Why is yours so much heavier than mine? You have a suppressor on the end of the barrel or something?

Absolutely, there’s no doubt. Hit being the operative word. I went through this argument in the other thread too, the issue is in order to have a high hit probability you have to practice, a lot. If you practice with that big bore a lot, then by all means, carry it. I would venture a guess that...

I’m actually a proponent of 10mm but the point was still the same overall

search up the long running thread on this topic from a few years back. I made the same suggestion back then and got absolutely crucified lol There’s a lot of pistoleros on this forum that can easily lay 6 in the head of a bear with a 454 casull or 500 s&w in quick succession

I’ll take the duplex

Thanks for the info! Mine came in at 5lb 15oz which was a bit disappointing to me, I was hoping it’d be closer to 5lb 8oz but maybe that’s how much they are supposed to weigh I guess, it’s a nice compact little rifle. As long as it shoots well I reckon I’ll keep it

Interesting results, were you disappointed you got no exit wounds? do you think the lack of exit wounds was a results of the cartridge being too light or the bullets being too soft? Or a combination of both?

Did you weigh your rifle before you scoped it by any chance? I just got the same rifle and that group gives me hope. couldn't find Norma bond strike ammo, but I did find Norma whitetail which is their "budget" line. I'll be curious to see how it shoots once I get it scoped

Depends on the sling and caps I suppose. I’m not planning to put lens caps or a sling on this rifle. Either carried in hand or on the pack. So zero ounces there. As far as cartridges that’s kind of a moot point since the rifle is just a fancy stick without them but maybe 1 or 2 ounces if I only...

That was a typo. 7 oz over weight, not 23

yes I know, that old trope lol that is one way to do it. I’m in good shape, I wanted a complimentarily trim rifle. It just rubs me the wrong way that they market these rifles specifically to shooters seeking lightweight rifles and then they are heavier than expected when you get them Plus now...

20” barrel should be the exact same rifle in every way as your 6.5 cm but actually a bit lighter due to the reamer taking more material out of the breech end of the barrel for the fatter cartridge and less material on the bolt face to my way of thinking. I would have been fine with 5lbs 10oz but...

Lol yes I edited the post. 5lbs 15oz
