Berghaus military backpack for hunting
I finally decided to move to a smaller backpack for 1-2 day hunts. A 30 liters one will be perfect. I looked at various similar models, from Savotta Jaakari M to tasmanian tiger mil ops 30 and finally i discovered the military side of Berghaus, which i didn't know. The heros 35, which seems to... -
Quad sticks vs tripod, prone-like accuracy from standing with a 1.5 lbs setup?
Hi everyone, i was asking a couple informations about a vanguard tripod on a british hunting forum and basically everyone suggested me quad sticks (especially the ones from Blaser or Viper flex) over any kind of bipod, claiming that these quad sticks (which weight less than 2 lbs) can give... -
Hunting tripod for shooting with the possibility to swap the head for a camera rest?
Hi everyone, i always kept 2 different tripods: one for shooting (bog havoc, which is very simple but worked well for me) and one for camera selfshots (a very light and small amazon one, it folds in and i keep it in the backpack). Now i decided to buy a single tripod with the possibility to use... -
Nightofrce NX8 4-32x50 SFP. Where is the infamous tight eyebox?
It's a NF NX8 4-32×50 SFP. I didn't even mounted it on a rifle yet. I have heard complaints about the 8 zoom factor scopes, someone even told to have sold his NX8 because of this. It's funny, my NX8 has a totally acceptable eyebox, surprisingly good at 6x, good at 16x and still totally usable at... -
100% Carbon fiber stocks: very lightweight and rigid but are they durable?
Hi everyone. I was looking at a Manners stock which is only available in the "elite hunter" configuration. The shell is made of 100% carbon fiber. My questions are: 1) durability over time in comparison to a regular Manners or another more conventional composite stock? Is a 100% carbon fiber one... -

Hi, i recently got a new job with good salary so of course i suddenly ordered a custom rifle 😂 it is a 308, with a Defiance ga hunter action and bartlein #3 contour 22 inch barrel with a manners mcs-t stock. It will be amazing. I just have to choose a scope to put on it. The rifle will be used... -
Need help for a new custom barrel for hunting: contours, rifling, materials, blank vs prefit, etc
Hello everyone. I am looking at a barrel for my next custom build. The rifle will be used for hunting up to medium and even long distances (i consider a 450 yards shot a long one for small 50 lbs roe deer) and the overall weight will be between 11 and 10.3 lbs, depending if i will use a bipod... -
Investigation: talley screws too soft or receiver 's problem?
Hello everyone. I have just encountered an issue while mounting some Talley bases on my bergara b14 (rem 700 clone). Basically i installed the bases (talley 2 piece, aluminum) a couple months ago and the rifle was shooting very well. I didn't loctite the base screws down because i knew i could... -
Some concerns about what a reputable gunsmith said about my rifle
I brought my rifle for bedding to a reputate gunsmith here in my country (he is a top tier precision shooter, he won several international competitions with rifles made by his gunshop), he also produces some competition precision rifles and I can see he is a very nice guy, really passionate... -
How much can i expect handloading to change the accuracy with a given bullet? And what are the performance of the average factory rifle with a variety
Hi guys, i have a couple questions. 1) handloading: can a proper load development turn a 2 MOA group into a sub MOA one using a given projectile? For example, let's pretend a rifle is shooting hornady precision hunter with a eld-x bullet 2 MOA. If i take my time developing a handload, is it... -
British smiths and custom rifle builders refusing to work on Bergara rifles because of their bad quality?
Today i was involved in a conversation on a british hunting forum. It was a purely recreational topic: the most overrated hunting rifles on the market. At some point people started bashing remington as usual until a guy, who seem to be a pretty famous custom rifle builder in the UK, said that... -

Bergara b14 rifles after almost 10 years from the release, reliability/accuracy/durability/features!
Hello everyone, here i am again, last step before starting actually buying a lot of stuff in the process of building my next hunting rig. So, as far as the rifle goes, even if i am open to change my mind, i am leaning toward a B14 hunter in .308 (i would put it in a PSE composites e-lite stock)... -
Which scope would you pick for my new project? Very disappointed by european scopes offerings
Hi guys, I write from Italy. I aleeady posted a couple threads about my new setup but now i think i got to the right decisions. To sum it up, I currently have a early 2018 made bergara b14 hunter topped with a khales helia 2-10×50i with the standard german IV-like reticle and capped turrets. I... -
300 wsm build for european games, selective hunting in Italy
Hi everyone. Until now i had a very prolific career hunting with a .308 here in Italy. That rifle, a bergara b14 with a 2-10x50i khales scope with a standard german IV type reticle, is intended to be used inside 250 yards and i built it in order to be as simple as possible, no need to worry... -
.308 vs 7 SAUM/7 WSM ballistic not so different for hunting inside 500 yards?
I am currently hunting with a .308 rifle and my shots are usually inside 250 yards. I hunt roe deer (50-60 pounds), fellow deer (up tp 250 pounds) and wild boars (up to 350 pounds) and i prefer to have a single cartridge in a given rifle for all these species. I am very comfodent shooting much...- ssimo

Reccomendations for a versatile and lightweight spotting scope
Ok guys, i hunt in the hillside of northern Italy since some years. My preys are roe deer, boars, fellow deer and red deer. I don't use a spotting scope at the moment and i never had problems taking down animals up to 350 yards. That is selective hunting so sometimes a spotting scope is useful... -
Help me choosing gun, caliber and ammo for long range hunting in the italian hills
Ciao a tutti :) compliments for this forum, i just registered and i am sure i'll spend some good time here. I need a suggestion.
