6x47- interesting. That one sure shoots well - about as well as the best light varmint 6x47's back in the mid 70's. Nice to have, for sure - seems almost too easy when they shoot like that.

I have 75gr. Hornady HP's loaded for my .25/06 at about 3,650fps, not max but moving OK just the same. I'm quite happy with just under 1/2" now - factory light-weight Savage cheap stainless Axis. Now would be nice to head shoot some pigs with them, or roos, but was planning on smacking some wolves instead.

Always nice to hear about your exploits, Neale.
