Thanks for that CR. I've just decided to put more info in the films now. It makes for more planning, less shooting and slower filmmaking, but I hope it will be a better thing for you the viewer.

Thanks Giles, nice buck on your trailcam. Brought a tear to my eye as I now live in an area with no roe.

Thanks for that. Yeah it took a little time before I understood how to properly show WHAT you see that tells you to improve your position.

Thanks for taking the time, glad it was useful.

Thanks for taking the time, glad it was useful.

Thanks for that. No need to be so polite, it sounds strange to a northerner. Sad, but true for the region! :D

Thanks Jim, using music is currently a little hit-and-miss for me, I haven't really had time to read up on the techniques and I am not always able to find music that really fits.

Thanks John, glad you like it. I am more systematic from ep 318 and up. (or somethign like that)

Thanks for taking the time to comment, appreciate it. Glad it was useful!

Many thanks for that, it was a little to-fro with the camera to capture all the details.

Many thanks for taking the time, that was very generous of you.

Thanks for that, it took me some hours before it clicked with the right music.

Thanks Gisli. I just decided it was time to either stop it or take a break, sit down and read up on how to do it better. It results in fewer films, but now I actually plan ahead and film a cohesive info-sequence rather than just documenting my shooting. I wanted to bring the education and usefulness up to a level where you might get enough info in one episode to understand a principle.

Good luck, hope it works for you. There are certainly more than one way to Rome.

No problem, hoping to be more info-intensive in the films this season.

Thank you!

Thanks Colling. Made an effort to improve this year and have received great input/ tuition from actual filmmakers.

Glad it was useful!

Thanks for that Ben!

Thanks for that!

Yes, on the Y axis. It doesn't make much of a difference, but it stops "dipping" the reticle as it can be hard to do a trigger pull truly in line with the barrel with a hunting stock.

Yup same here 🇨🇦🤠

Hah, good story! :D He sounds about my pistol level...

Thank you, glad you liked it.

Thanks!

I am making more films now.

Already have. A lot more demanding, as you say recoil makes it a lot more demanding and absolute perfection in the position is a must.

MrFREDANG It should be as it essentially is an improved 243. I liked my old 243 very much, but it wasn't too good for LR targets. Now I get the target shooting, hunting and 243 feel in the same cartridge.

Thanks for taking the time, hope it was useful!

Thank you!

Sorry unable, sold my Grendel one or two years ago.

THLR.NO - good reason? I'm after testing a universal military round.

No not really. The cartridge was really nice, it was just that I failed in my rifle build. I wanted a very lightweight rifle but ended up with something close to what I already head. Saw no point in carrying the same weight without any gain.

That's my problem too. Amazing potential never quite realised.

Yes a rearbag can be very useful for stability.

Agree. This is basically a technique for emulating the results you get as default from a pistol grip stock.

Well the effect on my hunting has been zero difference, I suspect every hunting shot taken with the Ultimate also would have been taken equally well with the Professional stock. I'm seeing the biggest difference (it is still small) on my target shooting, where shots are both longer and a lot higher volume. It really is easier to shoot well when using the fitted Ultimate stock, I shoot better and don't spend as long "finding" the correct position where pressures etc is ok. When my hand grip the Ultimate, everything is basically in the right place immideately. Especially when shooting in heather or marginal positions I notice a small difference/ higher level of confidence. But as I said, I see the difference mostly on the targets and it is predominantly consistency rather than raw precision which I find is better. So if I didn't invest so much time on the targets I probably wouldn't bother with the upgrade. My Professional killed the deer the same way my Ultimate does, and once the stock is adjusted I'm not really interested in the adjustability (I've partly glued the stock in place now just to eliminate a theoretical error). I don't know if this made all sense, ask again if you need clarification and I'll try to formulate differently.

@@THLR Exactly the type of input I was looking for. Much appreciated. Thanks again for a good blog.

I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks for watching & commenting.

That's an amazing number of films you've ut out!

@@THLR you are my new ryan cleckner..

@@payam7777777 Thanks!

Thanks for that! Nah, affiliate stuff is not for me. Money doesn't drive these films and I'd rather have people shop wherever they feel they'll be best serviced.

That's grate to hear and I've learned so much from your work you are a true inspiration to so many of us!

Ha Ha you are not doing this to make money or sponsor anything. People can watch and learn and make their own decisions. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and have always been fascinated by the European shooting world which is mostly way out of my price range. All of the various arms manufacturers here make very good stuff reasonably priced. It’s extremely competitive. With practise you can make pretty ordinary equipment work for you. I never had very much money growing up but l loved to go hunting and shooting. My very first high power rifle was the good old no4 mk1 Lee Enfield service rifle in .303 Brit. $35.00 dollars😂🇨🇦🤠

@@randyschaff8939 that's always true and to thos day I'm still on the low end of the budget but I rathole away what I need to make my dreams come true... like my last toy a Remington sendero in 300rum, I still need to get my self a pice of glass that compliments the caliber but hay you see you like you love you find a way I'll probably save up after the scope and go with an atlas. I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one with humble beginnings and I hope you manage the budget for your next dream!

Jack Daniels Thanks nice to hear from you. I learned how to get by as a young boy. Nobody ever gave me anything not even my .22 shells lol which probably helped to make me a half decent rifle shot today. I absolutely freaking hate it when l miss what l am shooting at.🇨🇦🤠

Sorry, no. Too many variables and I have insufficient data. It would be a hardware error with scope not aligned with barrrel Z axis (pointing off to the side by a very small degree), it could be scope tracking, it could be shooter error via thumbball. Good luck!

Thanks. It is an Atec Optima (?). One of the new models with a quicklock system.

Sorry Iver, that it outside my area of competence and I have no recommendations. I prefer tp get a secondhand scope myself if able.

And how do you like your Legacy Iver? I've been trying to get my hands on one of those, but never came across one. Seems like a very neat small-game rifle.

Yes. One of the neighbours is building a huge barn, so we got some cement off one of the many, many trucks that will be at his farm the next couple of weeks. We are building a generator house to power the moving target system (running moose).

Nei. De stokkene posisjonerer hånden din bedre så avtrekket trekker langs aksen til løpet (z aksen), så de er enklere å skyte godt med.

Tenebraex are the best I've used. Lacking those, I have Vortex lens caps on my new Blaser optic. Aadmount is probably good too. I try to avoid Butler Creek, they break too often. I also avoid aluminum/ magnet closure caps. The snap-shut constructions seems to keep more debris and water out.

THLR.NO great insight! Much appreciated.

The 50 shots box? It is standard here in Scandinavia for the many of the common Norma match calibres.

@@THLR that is terrible I can only get 20 round boxes in the US. Never understood why pistol is 50 rd and rifle is 20 rd.

That was on the R93. On the R8 I have the standard trigger.

Yup the standard triggers are very serviceable especially when a guy settles down with just one rifle and load and gets used to it. I can get just about any rifle off and make an accurate shot.🇨🇦🤠

Yes I am trying the 6 XC this year. It is the only 6mm match cartridge available here (6mm Norma BR not included as hardly anyone chambers that).

THLR.NO here in Russia 6.5/55 or 6XC are delicious 😋 I mean not popular, 243win or 308 win 223 win here enough)) for hunting.

Kut Kut It is the same here. 6mm's are rare enough as it is and a 6 XC is rarely seen in hunting rifles.

Been running a 6mm creedmoor this year getting us to it

g3ninfinite Sorry no. I don't test rifles.

I think the swedish word is "flummigt", I'm not quite that zen with my equipment but you have the essence of it. :)

Sound is currently one of my known weak spots. I just haven't had time to sit down and read up on how to do it properly.
