308 is a very good choice . it can even be used for eventuel moose hunting in scotland. and one of good CRF rifles like ruger or cz will be great too. i like ruger because they have 1/10 rifling twist in their 308 barrel which is needed if monometal long bullets like Barens X are used for huntung. the stansard 1/12 twist in 308 wouldn't stabilise them well. regards dan

Hi Dan, Moose and Bear sounds like a nice combination - just to give you a flavour, this was me last night after an arduous evening 'Bunny Bashing'! I've a .22 rifle with a moderator that's ideal, plus an HW100 air rifle which is just as good! Hardly big game hunting but I thought it would give you a laugh! Hi I am sure it is easier to shoot a bear or moose than shooting fast runing bunnies . i remmember when i was young i had an anschutz 22lr and had realy fun with it. i have heared thay have reintorduced moose to Scotland. who knows maybe one day you need a good moose slayer in UK

hi i own a ruger 77 all weather in 3006 and i like it it works well. shoots well and not very expensive. i choose 3006 because i am living in sweden and moose and bear may be an option and old 06 with heavy bullets 200-220 grain would be better. regards dan

tikka always meant accuracy to me. i had an old tikka combination m70 12g/222 rem which i give it to my son. with match ammo from norma or sako it could bit any rifle with varmint barrel all day long good buy and good hunting. dan_hunter

what a great play did you see the fotbol match tonight? dan_hunter

Hi anybodyin this forum hunting deer with 303 british? rgds dan_hunter

hi why not a 6,5x55 swedish . you have all the virtues of 260 remington plus at much lower chamber pressure and 6.5xx55 is loaded by nearly all of manufacotries and can be loaded with 155 and 160 grain bullets which are much better on heavier games .regards dan_hunter

what was wrong with them? i have one on my sonäs 22 mag and it works nice so far. regards dan_hunter

Hi what is your favourite rimfire rund for rabbit hunting? dan_hunter

hi i want to give an airgun a little el-gamo cadet to my grandson which is only 5 years old and living in England . what are regulation and laws in UK ? regards dan_hunter

thank you mate. regards dan_hunter

thank you . dan_hunter

thank you all for the replies. It seems 243 in UK is what 6,5x55 in Sweden . i wonder if you have no problem with bloodshot and spoiled meat? because these liltle high velocity calibers can spoil a lot of good venison if you hit them in wrong spot. i have turned to 8x57 for deer hunting with heavy rather blunt bullets at low velocity. regards dan_hunter

Hi I have one of these on an FAC air rifle - well pleased with it. I also have a 6.5 x55 but have a nightforce on that rifle. However, if push came to shove, I would certainly put it on the 6.5 because I did read on another forum that a member had is Viper on a 308 without any problems of recoil etc. HTH Peter Thanks for your reply. if I wasn't forced by home governement( beloved wife) . i had bought a swrowski or scmid&bender or night force for my husky 6,5x55 but i have to suffer and cut the hunting budget and buying cheap scopes. regards dan_hunter
