Another good video PJ, well done deflecting the 'unproductive comment black holes' that plague KZhead....
Thanks Simon
Good stalking there. Is it Blaser’s own mounts and rings? If so what height of rings you use for Alpex? Thanks.
Great video 👍👍🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching and as ever, please let us know your thoughts, we'll be pleased to hear from you!
You have any grounds in the North of England?
Hi Peter, I know you’re a big advocate of the sako 85 ! What’s the thinking behind using the blaser now instead of going for the sako 90 ? Just wondering as I’m considering increasing calibre size and potentially make of rifle also
I wager they gave him a Blaser
Hi Dominic. In fact, we are NOT sponsored by any rifle manufacturer, so I am completely independent and free to use whichever rifle I like. I certainly enjoy using the Blaser R8, but I also enjoy Sako and other rifles. Incidentally, I plan to get a couple of new rifles later this year. So watch this space.
No recorded footage from the alpex?
We were concentrating on the Binoculars on this occasion, next time, with a bit of luck, we hope to have more from the Alpex. But it's tough working with animals!
It’s just gadgets gadgets gadgets. What ever happened to field craft with a standard 8x56 scope
Bit slow on taking the safety catch off fire! Level 2 failure!
Incredibly poor shot reaction on the first two in my opinion and certainly shouldn't be accepted as 'common' as you state. With an appropriate calibre and bullet combination (.308 Win or above) you should see very few runners breaking 10 yards, if they run at all. The perpetuation of this idea that all anyone needs is a small 6.5 or .243 is somewhat of a fallacy, driven by the desire to have increasingly light and softly recoiling rifles. Proper recoil management with a moderate to heavy weight of rifle in a more suitable calibre will, with the correct bullet, allow the same or better accuracy, but with much increased terminal performance and effect.
A 6.5 Swede is not a small calibre at all. Few of mine run at all.
@@kristiangustafson4130 I've done extensive testing with 6.5x47L, .308 Win, 7mm Rem Mag and .300 WSM. The average run distances decrease as you go up that list. The notable jump is from 6.5 to .308, where run distance on average nearly halves (only using data from chest shots where no contact has been made with spine). Like it or not the 6.5s, be that creed, swede, X47, X55 etc are all much the same and are a small calibre as calibres go. The data backs up that they cannot compare to greater energy and frontal area.
Especially on Sika. Those buggers can be rather stubborn.
Do you shoot many Sika? They react differently to all other deer. Tough as old boots!
@@marks1014 I’m primarily on red, roe and some fallow. I have shot sika, although only with my .300 WSM, once again they all dropped on the spot, even when the range was ‘extended’.
