I've got a few dedicated scopes from Pulsar, but I also picked up the Liemke clip on from @EuroOptic a while back. As a value proposition, it's a really good option for the price. It has 4x the resolution (640x512) of a cheaper 256 sensor option for a few hundred dollars more. Both mounting...

I'm more of a lead core bullet guy, but one of my 9.3s only likes the CEB 200gr brass raptor. It did well on small stuff this year like warthog, bushbuck, blesbok, and kudu. Never had a "DRT" reaction though, animals did a wild dead-run for a few seconds before piling up. Shot a large bull...

How much did it weigh? My S2 is 8.5 pounds. How shootable is a featherweight big bore double rifle going to be? I don't think I'm man enough for a nitro express mountain gun.

Thread update: I finally got the call and my D99 barrel is on it's way. Just a couple weeks shy of 4 YEARS(!) from time of order. I get that Blaser isn't churning out stuff like Ruger, but we're not talking about a fully built and engraved double rifle either. I love their innovative stuff but I...

For me he used terrymorrisen@aol.com

Yes. Scammer. He used terrymorrisen@aol.com for me

I'll take it. Sending PM

Ok, well at least we updated the thread!

All right, I guess I need this so I'll take it

There are a lot of good options out there. Each have strengths and weaknesses. I personally like the option to dial for longer range on almost any rifle, provided the turret has a zero-stop and zero-lock. If it's not a tall turret and it locks, I see no disadvantage. I think Leupold has the...

Unless you have a faster than standard twist rate, the 45 tsx may not stabilize in the standard 1:16" barrel due to length. Many of the more modern American made hornets have a faster twist now but the Europeans are stuck in the past. Look at my post in the bullet performance database a while...

I think this is the big advantage to the little 22 hornet in particular. In my experience you can aim for the shoulder and hit major bones with the 50gr spirepoint and still have a small neat hole in and out. These are small targets and not needing to worry about needing to put it behind the...

223 could work but you need to be much more careful with bullet selection. Also I think the high impact velocity could cause trouble if you hit shoulder/bone. A heavier for caliber bonded or mono would be the place to go, both keeping velocity down in the 2700-2800 fps range and keeping the...

I'll also add that my ideal 22 hornet load is a 50gr soft point with a case full of lilgun. This gives 2700-2800 fps and has the sectional density for up to ~50 lb animals. It retains as much energy at 250 yards as the 22 WMR has at the muzzle, since it has a decent BC compared to most typically...

22 Hornet. Use lead tipped soft points and you can shoot them anywhere, even in the shoulder and it's fine. Combination gun or drilling with 9.3 and 22 hornet or 222 rem is my preferred since you're normally after other game too. These were all shot with 22 hornet from a drilling. Quick kills...
