The future for the sporting rifle – Fieldtester, episode 5

In this month’s Fieldtester show, Tim Pilbeam leads a group of 13 stalkers who shoot 100s of deer a year, to find out how good or bad copper bullets are. The aim is to group-test copper bullets and check it’s accurate and it kills. In this month’s show, we find out about accuracy, one of the big complaints against copper rounds. That’s not all. Marcus Simpson of Simpson Brothers explains how rifles are changing to fit night vision, Johnny Muston from R&K Stockcraft carries out a ballistic gel test on different airgun pellets, Robbie Shedden from Cluny Country Guns offers his best centrefire rifles for under £1,500, Dan Pool from Braces of Bristol gives his reasons for buying an expensive riflescope, James Fowler from RUAG introduces the Bergara BA13 Take Down Synthetic rifle, Johnny Muston is back to talk about pellets getting stuck down airgun barrels and Tim Pilbeam tries out the new Leica Amplus 6 riflescope.
