Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

[Stihlman441]

Did not have an issue,but only used one tank of fuel.

Ya mate it cuts stuff very well.

I'd believe it would old son. The second I found out that these things were a quad port and not a strato I took a whole different view. Stock throttle response in a few vids I've seen on AS looks impressive, no doubt

I got a gun stock in the mail yesterday.......

I see eucalyptus kitsoniana so maybe not Eucalyptus ovata swamp gum the swamp I know I call crap gum as poor form decays fast the e kitsoniana bog gum is good solid and fast growing so its either swamp or bog really no matter it burns your happy.

 

[Stihlman441]

Thanks for that,i was thinking you would be all over that.

Cheers

Mate who cares about gut shots when they are that far out and you're using a centrefire. It's not like it's cruel or inhumane
I aim for chest now on rabbits with any of my centrefires at any range. I'm not keeping them for meat. Can get messy though

A blokes i was muching around with my old Brono Mod 2 (34 years old,re barrelled and re blued once) the other day shooting afew groups trying to decide which one to get a brick or two of.These were at 50 mts and with little to no wind.
Some of these you cant get any longer,power points (orange box) and im not sure about the Lazers but they shoot all right.A mate at work has got bricks of these for sale so i think thats going to be the go.

 

[Stihlman441]

Looking forward to getting Sawzilla (ported 441RC) back home out of that snow and with a differant bar on it.:msp_rolleyes:

Good old Yellow Jackets Those and the Winchester XPeditors were the only things that came anywhere near the Stingers for velocity. I liked the Lasers but they were too expensive and I've always found the good old Powerpoints hit hard and are accurate. The good old Superspeeds are a top round as well. You can still buy Lasers at around $7 a box.
What's your thoughts on the new 42gn Powerpoints Andrew? I haven't found one bit of difference between their point of impact and hitting power over the old Powerpoints. Not even sure why the hell Winchester released them apart from to make a few more dollars from us

On another note does your cheek still sit nicely on the stock with a scope that high?

just remember that the lead in those is hard as so they bounce

around the padock and drill through a bunny like a solid but they do group well in that BRNO

 

[deye223]

Hey andrew whats wrong with the power points they

look like they group good too or have i missed a hole

 

[Stihlman441]

I talked to my mate from work this avo and i got the Power points (orange box) and the Lazers for $3 per box so im taking all that he has.
The new Power point Max are a heaver bullet 42 grain and going quicker at 1320 fps and they are not the trunket shaped nose as the older Power points (orange box) afew weeks ago the kids were using the Power point Maxs spotlighting and they do hit hard with a nice whack sound with the scone shots.I have shot other groups with these and on average they do allright out of the Bruno.
With that scope being a 50 mm objective and i have no probs with eye elignment at all,i like the 50 mm for spotlighting which this rifle does 90 % of the time.

Good to hear mate and I like big scopes too. Just thought I'd ask as my 77/22 is tight even with standard mounts and a 42mm objective. If I went to a 50mm I'd have to go the high mounts and my cheek would nearly be off the stock which isn't a real accurate way to shoot.
The old Brno Model 2's must have a different stock design - or you've got fatter cheeks
