I I seem to recall that: some older American hunters, occasionally used their ‘squib’ loads for finishing shots i.e., head shots at close quarters.

The entry on p. 261, reads: In 1955 the famed gunsmith and experimenter P.O. Ackley of Salt Lake City, Utah, marketed a 4X scope and mount of his own design and manufacture. All these scopes and mounts are extremely rare. The only known listing is in the 1955 Gun Digest. N.B. Stroebel gives the...

You can also get a long muzzle flame, every so often, with Break Free, if you use it frequently and do not clean that garbage product out of your barrel. That which can burn, will burn, in a high heat environment. Caked residue is also to be expected, following combustion of solid materials. Any...

So ... when are you going to get serious and put away a three year supply :D :A Stirring:?

It seems that AE has created a bottle which is worse than the despised Adelphi monstrosity. That is an achievement!

Sub two minute. Good result. Perfect for stalking.

Yes, I tend to run my Leupold 1.5-5 at 2 or 3x and my 3-10x Weaver at 5x. Bob, if you persuade Judy to retire ... your list of chores and outings may grow exponentially, with the Clerk of Works a.k.a. the Trip Planner permanently on site! At your own peril, mate.

Bo Bob, that is an example of sophistry which has unfortunately deceived many a gun writer. A larger exit pupil allows a greater eye box. That is important for hunting and especially for snap shots. You also need to bear in mind that a rifle scope with a useable objective diameter of 50mm or...

Some of the top German snipers were supplied with 6x scopes.

You will notice the reduced light transmission at dawn and dusk. You will also notice a reduced eye box when practising and making snapshots. No such thing as a ‘free lunch’.

Also … fewer pieces of glass mean better significantly better light transmission. That is why the macro equivalent of any camera lens will have a smaller minimum stop. Same applies with parallax adjustment at or behind the adjustment turrets. It requires an additional lens which may contain...

I suggest that you buy the appropriate Model 57 and try it out. Cheap option without alteration to the receiver.

N 1. Please show us a reticle image OR provide the scope model and reticle combination so that we can look it up on the brand/manufacturer web site. 2. You need to set up the reticle focus for your eye sight. 2.1. With a second focal plane scope, turn the magnification up to maximum and point...

Hail Bob :D The messiah of the .35 Whelen:D Cheers::A Stirring:!

There is a simple way to work out what is the best solution for you. Determine the maximum practical magnification that you can use on your favourite—.22 long rifle—chambered rifle for hunting and marksmanship practice. N.B. Picnic table shooting, also known as bench-rest shooting does not...
