New? Ruger 375. Bergara B14. Strasser RS14 Blaser R8. Zastava m70 Winchester m70. New DWM Mauser 98. Sako 90. Phased out, on 2nd hand market: Sako 85 CZ 550 ZKK 602. No budget defined, so there is something for every pocket and for every taste.

There are sports for older people. Thats for sure. That's why I specifically said "difficult shooting positions" to be for younger people. One example is f-class shooting, invented by Canadian Farquharson, where older shooters can still compete, using rifles with scopes, on rest and bipod, in...

I am more and more coaching in my shooting club, and compete less and less. (I am 53) But i enjoy hanging around and watching newbies getting new skills, and getting involved in our sports.

Younger people can do it better. 50 year old can not compete with 25 year old, in difficult shooting positions, such as standing from stick.

Exactly!

If 9.3x62, with miss at 25 meters can be comparable, then it happened to me twice. I have wide angle scope on it. I remember 2 clean misses at wild boar in the open, (one running, one standing), at distances up to 30 meters.

This is what I do after zeroing. I zero at 200. When happy with zeroing, I change target and put new target at 200. Take one shot at 200. Move the same paper target to 100. Take one shot at 100 Move same target at 50, Take one shot at 50. Then I have a test target printed with 3 holes, I mark...

OK. I have Sako 85, I know each rifle is individual in performance. My 85 can shoot moa, less then moa, and more then 1 moa, depending if I do my part or use various ammo brands. I also have a friend who sold his 85 not being happy with accuracy (reaching on occasion 2 moa), but he shoots quite...

Many rifles today are sold with one moa accuracy guarantee. I wonder, did anybody ever filed a complain under guarantee if the rifle did not perform accordingly? Any such experiences?

Well, general consensus in my local reloader community is that PPU is one of top brass products. (most of other casing brands are also available, and compared) Serbia does not import copper, they have their national production and copper mines. And their cases are estimated as good quality. This...

Experience: Most of rifles I tested, or zeroed: (calibers 30, and similar) have zero at 50 and approximate zero at 100. This means zero the rifle at 50 meters, check it at 100, it will be zero again. Then you can increase the range by playing with point blank range, keeping trajectory loop...

This I never thought about. But I learned something now, and I will use this argument when discussing these matters with anti hunter and vegetarians. Thanks for mentioning this!(y)

I think it is obvious. If I want to shoot like that, it is either seated from the bench or prone, rifle supported by front and rear bag, or bipod and rear bag. (it is not real world accuracy, field accuracy or practical hunting accuracy). It is also not an actual training. But this gives...

Pardon my ignorance, but what is "rigby bolt face" on a classic rifle such as cz550?

Ethiopian airlines prices went sky high this year in August. That's another part.
