  1. most rifles rust out well before they are shot out even then don't discount a patchy bore as one that doesn't shoot Stock interference is significantly more damaging to accuracy than a few rust spots in the bore .22 Hornet, .17hornet, 17 rem all good rounds. - make sure you can feed them affordably .22WMR is a most useful round and accounted for literally hundreds of foxes personally until I started reloading for .222

    8 Bore

    single barrel ideally anything considered
  7. cobblers - its plain to see they are split or scored before firing By definition rimfire cases headspace off the rim. If they only split AFTER firing this problem wouldnt be a problem as they are not reloaded only when water ingress causes a misfire, hangfire or squib is the issue really obvious Otherwise people saying they have never had one maybe havent looked. I have yet to find a box of any manufacturer that doesnt produce a split before or after firing Annealing is not viable for a rimfire round costing pennies It is not a process that can be inserted as that would drive cost up even more. Nothing to stop the manufacturer from annealing the WMR case before priming....except money The brass is wafer thin, its a poorly designed case forming process using metal alloy not suited to such reforming the HM2 has splits in them too but doesnt seem to have the volume of issues, primarily due to the reduced number of people using them and the much smaller volume of ammo used I would imagine. That said I have never had a misfire or issue with the HM2 but have had several with the HMR both barrels in a Sako Quad
  8. One manufacturer was always the same for HMR ammo too Doesnt mean it is suddenly going to suddenly stop being made though
  9. awesome round much prefer it to the HMR, cheaper to feed, better accuracy in my rifles, plenty of ammo at the Distribution level, if there is none at your RFD its not down to supply..... its what the .22lr HV round should be I have a Sako Quad and would like to get another shorter barrel
  10. There are many types of cheap scope Good ones and Chocolate ones Nikko Stirling from the 60s-early 80s are built like tanks I ran an 8x50 on my 300wm when a Schmidt and Bender Klassik failed - worked faultlessly tasco, bushnell, Nikko, all had solid japanese optics and many had brass turret mechanisms back when stuff was made to a design not a price. newer stuff and especially the 80-90s chinese made but branded Nokko, Bushnell, tasco etc is usually chocolate....... only one way to find out! that said you can buy a solid CF capable fixed mag of serious quality for less than some of the newer Nikko/hawke etc tacticool multifunction turretted/IR/Mildot plastic fantastic scopes the glass is better in the used german scopes too
  11. Premium 8x56 scopes - Swaro, S&B, Zeiss
  12.

  15. I ran a test on the XD50 used it on a QR mount as a spotter and a scope Clear in daylight, easily pick out and ID badger/fox/hare and smaller sized quarry out past 300m I zeroed in the rain on a black and white target, no hot spots required. You can see fence wire as it has a different thermal profile and often shows up much darker (or lighter depending on how you have set the hot to show!) nice bits of kit not for me though too large, too expensive and realistically I would prefer a dedicated spotter and either use a NV scope or add on (because they are much cheaper, not because they are better) or a lamp
  16. RWS subs run slowerr than Eley, CCI or Winchester much less chance of a supersonic one on these warm days my Sako also shoots them in smaller groups than anything else and I can get 1-1.5" at 110yds Not sure they are as expansive as others but if you cant hit the target expansion is a moot point!
