    T1x ACE in Hand - Review - Pictures - Info - Thoughts

    So I managed to pick up a T1x ACE, 22lr 20" barrel. A few arrived into New Zealand last week and managed to pick one up. This was a rifle I was very interested in (along with many others) so thought I'd share my findings, there isn't any good reviews out there, just influencer BS and people...

    Victoria Venus Pro 22lr Reviews?

    Has anyone here had their hands on the Victrix Venus or Venus Pro 22lr? There are very few reviews or even many posts about them, I’m guessing because they aren’t at all popular in the USA. I’ve found a few videos on YouTube from X-Ring and Womfat who both seem to suggest it’s quite a nice...

    Current state of cheap scopes $100-$200 (specifically in Canada)

    My brother lives in Canada and is looking at buying his first rifle, will be for medium/big game at close range only (inside of 150yards). I'd recommend something like the Swampfox 3x prism (with the wide FOV), he liked that but I think it's a little hard to find in Canada and/or expensive. He...

    Is 2025 Year of the MPVO? Two New 2-12s!

    Barely two weeks into the year we already have to new MPVOs: -Primary Arms SLX 2-12x40 -Element Helix Compact 2-12x42: https://element-optics.com/product/helix-hd-compact-2-12x42/ Just a shame both are SFP with capped turrets, the Element even being MOA only.... Maybe 2026 will be the year...

    Shot Show 2025 Rumours

    Well it's that time of year again. Sounds like Primary Arms is bringing out a replacement for thir GLX 2.5-10, not actually a rumor as it was all but confirmed here. Interested to see what this turns out to be. I did read rumour that Tikka was coming out with a few competition orientated...

    Cleaning kit for NRL/PRS 22lr match rifle with tight chamber

    Long story short I have had my rifle re-barreled, I have had a variety of issues with extraction (and ejection) since. I had thought I had sorted the issue (bought a new extractor and had chamber re-cut) but shot a match in the rain this weekend and half way through started gets fired cases...

    Binoculars with reticle: Bushnell Match Pro vs Athlon Midas G2

    There is lots of info/reviews out for the Bushnell 15x56 Match Pro binos but very little for the Athlon Midas 12x50 binos. Seems like the Athlon binos are relatively new but there is basically no info out there from real life users. Any one have experience with the Athlons, or better yet...

    Short 308win barrel twist rate for subs/why no fast twist 308 barrels?

    Been looking at getting a short 308 barrel for a little while with the hopes of running subsonics for plinking/fun/limited hunting, but still shoot supers. Looking at posts on here and playing with the Berger stability calculator, it seems like a standard 1:10/11/12 twist barrel are capable of...

    Ultimate Reloader - Badass or Bellend?

    Despite knowing better I bought into the UR click bait on the below video about pushing 308win to 300wm performance. I thought perhaps they'd use an exotic powder, or some new projectile to squeeze maximum velocity out of the 308 case. But all they did was load too much Varget into a 308 case...

    223/223AI Tikka, not feeding single rounds.

    I've got a 223 Tikka that I am wanting to rebarrel to either 223 or 223AI. I like the Tikka, the only issue I have is I can't load single rounds and have them feed (they hit the breech face), using AICS, CTR and T3 mags. I did manage to 3d print a new follower than allowed single loading years...

    T1x Upgrade or Replace witch Vudoo/Anschutz

    TLDR; will buying a Bartlein blank and have a smith rebarrel my T1x get me Vudoo/Anschutz accuracy or will I just be wasting money? I've been shooting my 16" T1x ever since they first came to market. For the most part I've been extremely happy with it, I've never had feeding or reliability...

    Barrel Profile for NRL hunter

    I'm not actually looking to compete in NRL hunter but the folks that do dable is this probably are the most up to date with barrel profiles. Research suggests the Marksman contour is the heaviest guys are going for in NRL Heavy class. I'm planning to rebarrel my 223 and the comps I shoot in...

    Rifle Scopes I've been Vortex'd

    So I recenetly coined the term "Leupolded" which is basically Leupolds ability to get a good idea for a new scope and screw it up with dumb reticle options and other specs they get wrong. I guess that means Vortexed/Vortex'd is when your Vortex scopes shits itself at the worst possible time. I...

    Rifle Scopes New Delta Stryker 3.5-21x44

    Ive just seen this announced by Delta NZ on Facebook. Hopefully it's not just another version of the Bushy DMR scopes (due to stupid tunneling). If it doesn't weigh a tonne it could be a nice crossover scope, the LRD-1T reticle is quite nicely visible on 4.5x in the Stryker 4.5-30 so I think...

    CZ magazines annoying for PRS/NRL 22

    I shot a match over the weekend using my CZ 452, I usually use a T1x but wanted to try the old CZ again to see how I found it (much prefer the Tikka). Rifle performed as expected but I really find myself being annoyed at the magazine location, and the big banana shape seems to make shooting off...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns LR Shotgun Choke Test

    Not sure if anyone cares or not but due to lack of shotgun threads I'll post this anyway. I started a thread a few months ago about trying to extend the range of my shotgun due to a particular set of circumstances where I was tryign to control a peacock population, you can read here if you'd...

    Precision Rifle Gear Frogg Toggs Durability

    Having shot my last three competitions in either passing rain or bitter cold wind I've found myself wanting some lightweight, compact, 100% water and windproof rain gear I can keep in my pack at all times. In theory Frogg Toggs are exactly what I want and are so cheap it should be a no...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Long Range Shotgun Advice

    I'll preface this by saying I am 99% a rifle shooter and only use my shotgun when attempting to shoot waterfowl during the hunting season. Historically I've found shotguns to be kinda hopeless for hunting anything other than birds on the wing or short range small game, preferring to use a 22lr...

    Field target rifle vs PRS rifle

    I've often heard people here talk about field target shooting as being a completely different shooting discipline than PRS and have often wondered why folk make such a big distinction between the two. I get that PRS has very much lost any practical application in that it is now effectively...
