    OK, Thanks Bill. FYI shooting off a bipod me and my rifle are capable of 5" groups at 600yds. It's def not human or rifle error being 16" out at 800yds. No offence but I'm not that dumb that I can't pick a spot on a white barked tree and measure the drop where it hits, 6 of one half a dozen of...

    A blown barrel, what would you do?

    Thats what I thought JE. But the fact remians that I brought the barrel straight off them and didn't get the recall letter they were supposed to send out. If they had done the right thing it never would of happened. I can tell you it was a scary thing to happen and I never fired another shot for...

    A blown barrel, what would you do?

    Don't worry thats the angle they're gonna work I reckon. They started off with the chambering could of caused it until I told them that they chambered it, then they moved onto the fluting. I wonder what was the outcome with the other barrels that blew the same that wern't fluted and were fitted...

Fired 2-300 shots with no worries, I brought a 2-8 leupold for it and was sighting it in. I fired 3 shots...

    Australian Gunsmiths?

An example my barrel would of cost 350ish for me too get and cost me over twice...

If you plan on getting your dream gun built don't be stupid like me and take someones word for it becasue they sound like they are an expert on a forum like this one. Do your research, ask for testimonials, photos, warranty etc. Also have...

    Long Range Kangaroo Hunting By Shane Morgan

    I must say this story is real box of ammo for the anti gun groups in Aus. I used to shoot roos professionally in Nth Qld and can say that what this guy is doing is totally wrong as stated must be head shot then tagged. All the hoops we had to jump through in Qld to get a licence and tags...
