    Barrel Chop Screwed Up Accuracy

    I've worn some heated insults for doing this but my experience is it works perfectly fine!

    Spend 3K

    That's a fair answer, and a great line up of scope suggestions. I'm a FFP MRAD guy but for my high country build I compromised and mounted a SHV 3-10 MOAR reticle with parallax. It's such a phenomenal feature set and power range. I wish it was at least in mrad though

    All good! Out of interest and on a tangent, what is your preferred scope under 10x?

    Next Rifle Recommendations

    Great suggestion. Came here to suggest the exact same rifle. Even factory rounds loaded with the 87gr Vmax will be great on small/Med game.

    There is more than one option for reticles in the NX8. A less busy reticle option is the MilC if you aren't looking for a Christmas tree.

    Howa Bolt Bushing Shoutout Australia

    This post is a shoutout for TBone Shipwrighting in Australia, I am not connected with them in anyway but just impressed with their work. Late last year I had a 6cm built on a Howa 1500 SA. First range trip out every shot punched holes straight through my LR primers due to slop around the firing...

    I'd be buying that NX8 4-32 and calling it done. It ticks a lot of boxes and has a good record to support it for durability.

    9.3x62 tikka t3x left hand project

    I assume the t3x ctr was chambered in a 6.5cm/308 family? If so, just a "LA" bolt stop, switch the CTR stock to a standard T3x stock which will allow you to use a factory "LA" magazine and then get your action rebarrelled.

    Washing Hunting Clothes

    Anything with a chemical waterproofing agent I wash in just water. Everything else just whatever the missus buys. Scent control is the wind, as mentioned above.

    15x binos or spotter?

    I very much regret only buying 10x42s when I purchased binos. For people like myself that prefers to sit still more than walk when hunting, the 15x would have been perfect. Much prefer this over a spotting scope.

    Hunting Retical: SWFA, NF, or Maven?

    Center dot would improve it significantly! Still works well as a killing reticle

    Hunting Retical: SWFA, NF, or Maven?

    Second this. I love my 10x SS but the reticle is not a highlight. Personally I like the NF MIL XT and MILC. I can't seem to find much affection towards the MILR.

    6 CM & 108 ELD Velocity - Barrel Length

    If it's any help to you. I just had a Howa 1500 6cm built with a 22" IBI Med Hunter Profile. .120FB to run the 112gr Match Burner. Fireforming 6cmLRP ADG Brass, I'm right on 2846fps with 39.0gr of AR2209 and REM 7 1/2 Primers. Groups were excellent. I have no regrets about going to 22".

    Varmint bullet for deer

    My first question is, what's your impact velocity at 500yds with the 87gr Vmax? That will be the deciding factor. If it's >1800fps then you are good to go. I've killed a lot of deer with the 75gr Amax/ELDM in a 223rem, right down to 1800fps. I don't think you will have any trouble with 87gr Vmax...

    Howa Mini for 223 and 6ARC...which stock/chassis?

    Thanks! I gave it a go and it turned out better than expected.

    Sanding a Stockys Barrel Channel

    I've just purchased a Stockys CF Hunter for a Howa 1500 SA here in Australia. I have an IBI Med Hunter barrel fitted to the rifle which is slightly larger in diameter than a factory sporter profile. It looks like I'll need to remove about 3mm from the barrel channel to make it fit. Looking for...

    Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

    Sorry for digging up an old comment, but when you sanded the channel is it solid in the forend or is there a risk of breaking through the stock wall?

    Howa Mini for 223 and 6ARC...which stock/chassis?

    How much did you have to sand back? I need to do the same for a Stockys CF Hunter on a Howa SA with an IBI Med Hunter barrel. I'm worried I'll break through the material, it needs approximately 1/8th removed.
