I presume its .223, and your quarry will be foxes? My tikka with a 1-8 twist will shoot 40gr federal ballistic tips very well. Heavier bullets will drop too quick at extended range and will overpenetrate. The 64 grain federal soft point is aslo an accurate round I find.

I learned the hard way too, with a pair of specs, fecked them up good and proper Better to learn on specs than binos/scopes!!

I've got a varmint 75 in 308, topped off with a schmidt and bender PH 3-12X50. Its no lightweight for stalking. For pigs you've gotta have a light gun to swing easy - I presume its driven boar? The easiest thing to do is to go to a shop and pick up the two of them. Then get the Dealer to mount a scope and see then.

yeah, if you can get pure acetone, and are prepared to do a lot of scrubbing

OP, you can use acetone (its commercially available as nail varnish remover) to remove the moly. I've done it myself.

See this http://www.gsgroup.co.za/faqbullettwist.html http://www.loadammo.com/Topics/July01.htm (There's a formula here for calculating twist rate. It useds bullet length) http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=326290 They prove the idea re bullet length. As I stated already, it just so happens that heavy bullets are long.

My t3 tactical seems to be able to stabilize the 40gr nosler ballistic tip (1-8 twist). Its not the weight of the bullet its the length of bullet that determines what twist rate it can be fired through. It just so happens that heavy bullets are long. Light ballistic tip bullets tend to be long for their light weight so that might suggest how my tactical is able to stabilaze light rounds. Best of luck with your new purchase OP

Too big and heavy to be carting around if you're up on a hill

Is this a synthetic stock? Steyrs are known for having a soft fore end, so when a bipod is deployed the stock will flex and poi will change

They're not actually an anschutz. They're badged anschutz. If you're after a nice semi a krico is nice

They won't ship to Ireland

Thanks all!!

Yeah thanks, but I'm really looking for information from people that know what they are talking about not some internet commando going on about 1000yd shots Thanks dragon, all the reviews are fairly positive.

hi all, I'm really into a zeiss conquest riflescope (the 6.5 X 20 X 50) and have feck all information about it. Would anybody care to share????
