thanks for the pointers

my little brother has to do a major wood work project for school, and can't think of anything interesting to do so i suggested he make a new stock for my .22mag. Does anyone know of any plans on the net, or have any tips that would make his job a little easier? Thanks in advance

That is the type of crap i have come expect from gunphobic Australian burocrats and tree huggin' hippies. Why do people like that feel that it is there right to pass judgement on a sport that they know nothing about?...

Hey guys, sorry that it took so long to repy, i have been helping my old man do up his truck and havn't had much time to spend on the net. Sorry for starting a bit of confusion, i ment to say the .240 Wby. I could have also worded my question a bit clearer, what i should have said was What is...

lol, its not the gun that is the problem...its that we only have 4 rounds for it...makes for some fun in a target rich environment!!!

Found this on the net before and figured it may be of interest to some people here...particulary the new .50cal ammo. http://www.defence.gov.au/army/ (on the side list click on equiptment, then on the page it brings up click AW50F .50 Cal Anti Materiel Rifle)

Well, I got the nickname Wombat from some friends who feel that i look a little like a wombat. The immortal part of my name came after i crashed my car off a clift...the car was a wreck...flat as a pancake but i walked away.

i also had a friend who told me stories about long shots with a HORNET, made by a friend of his...well i thought that this was a load of BS until one day when i saw his friend ( a profesional Kangaroo shooter) hit a roo in the head at about 300 meters from a standing position. After that day i...

joseywales, i'm just curious, do you find that there is too much magfication with an 8.5-25 x 50 on a .22?

Well, I’m not exactly an expert at this, but may I suggest that the POI change may be due to different humidity levels at the various locations? If this doesn’t explain the change perhaps there has been a change in the "angle of the dangle" at the various locations? I have herd that used to...

If that is the case then i guess i can go without for a little while longer.
