    Purchased Another rifle I didn't know I needed, 7x64

    The 7x64 Brenneke is a fantastic caliber, and does ballistically very well. A real darling in South Africa under real gunmen and hunters

    Need a scope for my CZ 550 .404 Jeffery

    My eyesight have also made me go towards a Aimpoint Micro H-2 first as Iron Sights just not good enough any longer. Great field of view and will be putting it through its strides in Aug - however zero magnification could be a concern for some
