    Howa 1500 6.5 PRC accuracy issues

    Before changing the scope you should definitely try some other factory ammo. This is the most improtant variable by far. Also make sure to let the barrel cool down a bit after the first 2 shots. I have never seen a rifle producing a flier just after 2 rounds because of heat, especially in...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    And let alone when someone will start arguing on "what is the most recommended knife here", such an interesting topic!!! XD

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    Thanks for the effort to stop the arguing, Billy. I will not go back to talk about "the most recommended scope" because it's OT, because it's not interesting and because if you guys didn't get my very simple post the first time, the chances of you getting it now are very low. Sorry, since i am...

    Centerfire rifle drop testing: Tikka/SWFA

    Impossible, fake news. It's a tikka, it can't shoot groups this bad and it can't fail a drop test! Jokes aside, there are many variables. Most likely the scope mounting system is not working very well.

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    I have had many pistols in my life. I trust my glocks more than any other. A glock 19 would be a good choice.

    Sidearm or Not?

    We are not allowed to carry a sidearm here in Italy. Last wednesday i killed a big fallow deer and i found myself in front of 5 wolves in the woods. They where looking at a chance to steal the deer from me. My 3 shot (it could be 4 chambering one and loading the mag to full capacity but i never...

    Eastern vs western hunting success rate

    I think everything depends on the hunter capabilities and on his knowledge of the enviroment. Another important factor to consider is the density of hunters in the hunting area! Edit: an also the amount of animals in the area is critical. For example, i did more than 20 one day hunts in a row...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    That's true. Forums should be place where people talk about their passion without aggressions or personal attacks. Unfortunately it's not always the case. Sorry if i didn't ignore the provocation, let's use the amazing ignore function and go on! Back to the topic! ;)

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    Ok, now we are talking like reasonable people. Glad to see it. I don't care about forum consensus about scopes enough to do a research on this.. when i wanted some opinions i asked here in the past and the people here where great! I mean, most of them, then there are always the weird guys here...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    It is obviously just a report for others and an experience for you. From one or more reports other people can develope an opinion, from your experience you can develope an opinion. Pretty easy. A proof of a fact is a totally different thing, my dear friend.

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    You see? A totally non personal topic gives birth to personal attacks. Why? Why would you care about me knowing or not what i am talking about? Lol, being a psychiatrist i meet a lot of aggressive and angry people every day, since you are a fellow hunter (maybe), feel free to PM me for a free...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    I have no idea what i am talking about? 😂 thanks man, so friendly and so not aggressive as usual! You don't know me, you don't know how much experience do i have with scopes. There is no "most recommended scope", if a scope is recommended or not it depends on the budget and the application, so...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    Regular people do it everyday. Here we are on a forum though, here many users are unreasonably emotionally invested in their gear and they can't wait to humiliate you if you haven't a 2000 or more USD scope. Don't get too annoyed by confirmation bias and other bad dynamics typical of forums. I...

    Show your Tikka ten round groups

    It's impossible for a tikka not to be accurate, i have never owned one but i am 100% sure these rifles are all 0.5 MOA max with any ammo. They also have better actions than many custom ones and their stock is one of the best factory stock in the market. They are also so lightweight that you can...

    7mm-08 for elk?

    I am not arguing against anything, i am curious to see a quote of a post where i "argued against the 7-08". I am just saying that the 7-08 has its own charateristics and they must be taken into account. Pros and cons, as with any caliber, including the 308. Lower power means less recoil, less...

    7mm-08 for elk?

    Exactly, it's just physics Or better.. consider the terminal performance of the 7-08 like the one of a 7 rem mag at a couple hundred yards more than your shooting distance. If you would be confident to shoot an elk at 700 yards with a 7 rem mag, there is no much difference with a 7-08 at 500...

    7mm-08 for elk?

    1) definizione of hypocrisy: "Hypocrisy is the practice of feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not". 2) not worth a reply 3) i said many times that i am not asking for or assessing to have any scientific validity in what i think about this other than what the laws of...
