    MINOX ZA 3 & ZA 5 Riflescopes

    I see on the Minox site it has the 4-20 as 18 onces and 1/4 clicks MINOX Germany: Technical Data If that is correct you might want to update your site as I looked at your site then decided not to go down that road....but if it is 1/4 clicks and the lighter weight my next scope may be Minox:)

    Please Look. HeliHunting

    Being from NZ and seeing that sort of carry on is just sickening....to think our taxes go to the people looking at making that leagal Those pilots are no better than the paying customer...may be worse as does the client really know what he is in for.....but for me I would pull out of the hunt...

    What is your favorite 6.5mm round?

    I went 6.5-6mm rem AI (6.5 257 roberts, 6.5x57AI) after finding a reamer at the right price and it has turned out to be very accurate considering its built on a old 98K and used barrel....very happy with it. It shoots better than I can putting three shots through one hole until I lost the plot...

    7 x 57 ai

    I have a 6.5-6mm Rem AI (basicly 6.5x57AI) and it out preforms a mates 6.5x284 with the same load his longer barrel gives a little less speed... my hunting load is tuned down (old action) to 3000fps with 140 amax's, great round, the 7mm will be the same , an efficent case:cool:

    and if you want to cook a barrel those light pills will get up to 5255:D (done after a barrel change was decided and it did wreck the rifleing) but it does get over 4k with a 55gr pill:cool:
