Hello Gentlemen (from down in NZ) Got my Ruger PR yesterday and headed to the range for a short session after working up a load at home using Quickload and a chrony. Attached a Harris bipod. The rifle seems to want to shoot BUT I have only ever shot hunting weight and style rifles at a...

Hello - A few of CF "micro" actions that I'm aware of: The Browning Micro Hunter (I don't think its still being made but you should find used examples) The Charles Daly Mini Mauser - quite common The Steyr Mannlicher SL (also no along produced and probably not common in your country) The Sako...

Gidday Guys I have a new Douglas Premium barrel (chambered in 6.5-06 on an Argie Mauser) that shoots 2 - 4 inch groups at 100. I have done a lot of work with this rifle to identify and eliminate possible causes of poor accuracy including scope/mounts, bedding, load development and crown etc...

Hello from the very south of down-under. I've been lurking for a while, I have a lot to learn but would like to be able to make the plus 350 meter shots that I now pass on. My goto rifle was a 250 Savage with a 4x scope but I am putting together a 270 Vanguard with dial up capable glass. We...
