I have no experience with these stocks but for all my stocks and actions I just torque to 45in/lbs and they all seem to behave.

Great article Christopher, I am not far from that area at Pittsworth. We are also seeing an increase in wild dogs but not so many dingoes.

I also asked why we don't see more 708s in PR style comps, and the common answer was recoil compared to a 6.5mm. With 7mm needing at least 168gn bullets for best results at 1k, recoil then becomes similar to a 308. I love my 708 and have confidence in it. Although I have little experience with a...

Thanks for your replies. So the A1 is a newer version of the L461?

I have bought a Sako 222 and believed it to be a L461 but it has A1 on the reciever and there is no L461 on it anywhere. Are they the same action? Also, are there 2 different action lengths for the 222 and 222 magnum? I would like to rebarrel it to 204. Will that work?

That barrel has had a few hundred rounds down it since this thread started and I think I've tried just about every combination available at some point. Unfortunately it's just not that good a barrel. It's ok for hunting, but is limited to that. Tubbs Final Finish is not available here in...

No sorry I am unable to help.

Not sure where else to post this but what calls are you finding most effective for foxes? I've tried the button whistle and scotch call but I'm looking for others and want to try a few reeded calls.

Yes you are right. That was my mistake.

I've bee waiting for your feedback on this. Have you had a chance to use your new scope yet?

Elkwonder it seems we are in a similar situation. Mine would also be going on my 708. Browninglover1 I too have a Siii 6-24 LRMOA and think it's a great scope. I wish they made one with a top end of about 14x, I used to think I had to have 20x plus scopes but I just don't use it.

I can't find much of a review of this scope, is anyone using these? I want a scope to that is suitable for practical rifle comp and hunting on foot. The comp which is shot out to 500m requires a mil or moa type reticle but I'm worried it may be too fine for fast target acquisition when hunting...

Welcome aboard. I am from SW QLD. I also shoot the things you have mentioned. Not a bad site this one, lots of experience to take advantage of.

Tried that, didn't work. It might be fine for the 6BR but the 20 is much shorter and still jumps loose in the breech.

The 20x47 doesn't have the feeding problems that the BR does, I know a bloke with one which feeds reliably and I think it would be easier on throats than the 250. The 20BR does everything you need in a 20 cal otherwise. That's the only reason I'd go for the 20x47. In fact, when the throat goes...
