FIT A RIFLE PART 1

08/12/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

Many factors are involved in the shot with a rifle. One factor that is not well understood by many shooters, and receives too little attention by most of us, it l’adattamento of the gun to the shooter.

Since we generally do not have the possibility to choose between different configurations calciature, but we have to accept the gun as it was built, we tend not to pay much attention to what is involved in adapting the weapon, we are content to shoot with what we have. The various factors in the game are easy to understand, and each shooter of long guns should have confidence.

Some definitions are needed for the discussion.

In the drawing, the dashed line that extends from the tip of the barrel “C” is the line of sight. The heel and toe -hell- -toe- football are indicated, such as calcium -butt-, with the butt plate. Let us now consider the measurements shown, and we give them a meaning.

If we draw a perpendicular from the line of sight down to the crest of football, as indicated in “BB”, this distance is called the “distance hake” (drop at comb). This is probably the most critical of all the factors that affect the fit. E ‘to the point of hake that our cheek pose while aiming. If this distance is right, when you “weld” our cheek on it, our eyes naturally falls in line with the aims.

We are able to take up the gun to our shoulder with a quick shot, and we should not change the position before firing. Became obvious that this measure is extremely important for a shotgun, or for any long gun with no rear sight. The distance of the hake is the rear sight.

If the nose is too high, even the eye is forced upwards, and we tend to shoot up. To counter this trend, we push our cheek too strong against the football, trying to lower his eyes. This is not a comfortable and natural way to target, and also lead to a strong blow to the cheek due to the recoil of the rifle.

If the nose is too low, the eye is too low, and we tend to shoot low. To avoid this, we are to support our very lightly on the cheek, nose, or even take lightly our cheek from football. It is certainly not good for accuracy. The average distance to the nose of the American rifles in recent years is in the range of 1.5 to 1.75 inches, equal to 38 ÷ 45mm.

Pulling a perpendicular from the line of sight to the heel, “CC”, the measure is called the “distance to the heel” (drop at hell). This is much less important for adaptation of the weapon of the distance to the nose.

Considering that a small change in the distance to the nose can make a big difference, a fairly wide range of distance measurements to the heel can be conveniently used according to the average shooter.

One thing that does not change with this measure is the perceived recoil. A rifle with a small distance to the heel is said to have a kick “straight.”

The recoil is more in line with football, more directly on the shoulder with a kick straight and more comfortable for most shooters. Kicks with a large distance to the heel can provide a lot of pain to shoot, because hake recoils against her cheek. The Americans are a comfortable distance to the heel in a field that ranges from 2.25 to 3.0 inches, equal to 57 ÷ 76 mm.

The distance “DD” in the drawing is called “distance from the trigger” (trigger pull). It is a very important measure when considering the suitable adaptation of a football. It is defined as the distance from the center of the butt (butt) in the center of the trigger. Became also understandable that it is also a direct measure of the length of the stock of a rifle any.

Too great a distance away from the shooter holds the rifle, it tends to move the cheek forward and brings the football back in an attempt to compensate. Calcium also tend to get tangled in the clothes quickly when it wields the rifle.

A distance is too short inconvenient for alignment, forcing the shooter to keep his face back, away from the breech, to maintain correct alignment. A distance too short will also result to send the thumb of the shooter to hit him on the nose under the effect of recoil.

An average shooter can be considered a remote trigger from 13 to 14 inches, approximately 33 to 35.5 cm. This really depends on how high the shooter, and how long are his arms. Many rifles ancients had a short distance, about 12 inches, but most modern shooters is a comfortable distance of 13:25 ÷ 13.5 inches (33.5 ÷ 34.2 cm).

Hunting, Shotgun

WELCOME SIDE BY SIDE SHOTGUN

08/10/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

After the single barrel muzzle-loading from the military, he was syde by side; the man realized that putting two smooth barrels side by side on the rifle, were more likely to catch their prey while still having the black powder that almost could not see the target still in the air to explode the next shot.
But it was 1700 era when the game was abundant and really at the end of the second shot was almost never used. That was the hunting of the nobles, able to withstand the high prices of these new sophisticated weapons that looked out over the landscape hunting and such because of the reeds side by side was given the name “Syde by side.”

After the century, the next will open again with the black powder protagonist and with the emergence in Britain of a gun making excellent school who scored for centuries to come the history of the weapon hunting. High-sounding names, which by now become legendary Greener, Westley Richards, Holland & Holland, Purdey, Manton, Lancaster, operating on the British mainland and in later years would have produced a multitude of patents, still working basis for the modern manufacturers.

Their incessant chase in projects and realizations was almost forced by the emergence definitively dust infumi that allowed, now, the use of two shots effectively. No more smoke on top of the barrel and excellent visibility over the target. But the dust infumi brought a great upheaval in the structure of the weapon. Was no longer the single piece, but became tilting, to allow the opening and the insertion in the back of that extraordinary efficacy which is the container of the cartridge. He was born breech that in a short time would definitively dismissed the weapon muzzle loading. The English teachers strove and chased for decades in search of the best compromise of stability and functionality of the syde by side, patenting solutions that still bear their names, always beautifully made and very high cost. But it was still the imperial England, is wealthy buyers could afford everything.

When you reach the beginning of 1900, the syde by side hunting began to become “popular”; on the European continent hunting rights were more affordable for many and this social status, and new Democrat in the portfolio, led to the development of productive sectors in France, Belgium and Italy where the syde by side, less refined aesthetics, but equal effectiveness for the British, it was built with less price exasperated. The market “popular” required shotguns less sophisticated and more “battle”, the hunter Italian called the “gun” that flanked surely the dog. Both had similar prerogatives; few frills and a lot of substance to bring a bit ‘of protein in poor canteens.

Difficult century for Europe 1900 marked century ago, two catastrophic wars and difficult it was for the syde by side. An American by the genius mind for mechanics, Browning, patented and devised the most bitter enemy that syde by side could expect: the semiautomatic capable of firing a number of shots well over two not to be recharged. And the same snubbed by the companies of his country thought it well to come to Europe to convince the FN Belgian to produce as many copies simply awesome his jewel.

While decreasing for reasons of law respectful of the fauna, the number of shots possible, the semi-automatic has finally established itself as the undisputed king in its many configurations reset, taking the path that the industry has been able to put it on the market at affordable prices all budgets.

And the syde by side suffered and suffered. But it was not over here the crisis of syde by side. Another double-barreled weapon, this sometimes overlapping, was the protagonist of the second part of 1900, relegating even further syde by side in the closets of the hunters.

The superimposed infinitely less pleasant but much more effective for ballistic reasons, was joined together with the semi-automatic and the same was king of advertising in magazines. The syde by side more and more agonizing.

Many companies began even to take it out of production and only in Britain resisted, assault of other weapons. In fact, major manufacturers (and I quote the national Bernardelli, Fausti, FPA, F.lli Piotti, SIAC, Saleri, etc.), they continue to produce the perfecting techniques and new materials, but the request was asphyxiated; the syde by side was no longer in fashion!

But in these last five years of the new century, there is something new in the air regarding the syde by side. A return, and a welcome back to all of us aficionados of the weapon hunting. For a variety of reasons, syde by side is coming back in the catalogs of the companies and the desires of hunters. E ‘for different materials, construction techniques and concepts, but is always our dear and beloved syde by side.

For reasons of expediency production has dropped by WW Greener said he saw the syde by side consists of 95 shares most of which were components of the receiver. You are introduced lower cost manufacturing processes with a new concept of the receiver “integral” to the work required more durable and less expensive to produce, resulting from a single forged. This accepts shots easier to produce and also allows to obtain in many cases, a finished product very slender, which takes the name of “round body”.

The relaunch is conveyed in a very accelerated thanks to modern means of communication; internet, email and the many exhibitions devoted to outdoor activities are a big stage for many products, syde by side included. But also concepts with less impact to nature and a more reasonable hunting, he did bring in the catalogs the syde by side, after that for years the rage in them semi-automatic.

But the revival of the weapon juxtaposed, as well as the prices now more affordable, it is also facilitated by the hunter. All of us, while hunting in the modern era with all the limitations present, we are incurably nostalgic, and syde by side, which was his grandfather’s, we’ve never forgotten. In fact we almost worshiped, each time taking the modern weapon for hunting, we let the, sleeping in the closet armored. Most of us had already fertile mind to return syde by side and did not know they have it.

But attention the syde by side modern is not what it was! That generic grandfather with 71 cm rods and bottlenecks 3:01 star. Today, thanks to modern technology and the many solutions applied in time to many different types of hunting weapon, syde by side is the tool specialized for hunting thick. All are equipped with interchangeable chokes, and are again produced, thanks to the thrust of some meritorious Club (Club 16 gauge, Club 28-410) in most of the gauges on bascule dedicated.

Coming to the companies, those are absolutely Italian leader in the production of syde by side. Disappeared or almost all English teachers and rarefattisi significantly Belgian and French were we to dictate to the world stage.

Beretta has revived in 2013, his syde by side “Parallel 486″, full of excellent technological solutions both in materials and workmanship. Franks has a catalog a syde by side carrying a prestigious name of the house, the “Condor”. Rizzini with the innovative integral receiver has two families of doublets BR 550 and 552, while Fausti, in continuity with its past to catalog a large number of models is much appreciated hammerless that stray dogs.
F.A.I.R. always appreciated producer of overlapping, has launched a new project called ISIS, which are formed by an interesting set of doublets with or without folders side, produced in many calibers. Bernardelli, known worldwide for the Italian syde by side, continues its excellent production and also other houses, not present in the past in the production of reeds juxtaposed, working for several years with excellent products. Among these Effebi, RFM, Sabatti, Vi-but, Falco, Silma.

Some of these companies have achieved high levels of specialist shotguns aimed at special hunts. Fausti, Effebi and R.F.M. produce specific shotguns for hunting woodcock, with reeds and bottlenecks especially short or non-existent rayed.

And the former English teachers are watching, rather buy from us !!!

DIAMONDS OF BLACKS EFFEBI: SHOTGUN UNDER AND OVER

08/10/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

In the beginning there was Black Diamond cal. 12 The age over six decades ago, when Dr. Franco Beretta decided to propose to the market what has been a very popular superimposed from the carcass completely black, which inevitably gained the name of Black Diamond (Black Diamond). For more than 30 years away EFFEBI, now led by Fabio Beretta, dynamic founder’s son, will try again with other calibers, particularly smaller ones today appreciated, a 28 and a .410.

Contrary to the truth, the company has taken the lead in realizing in these two versions hunting calibers and two versions Sporting. Four configurations of weapon, produced exclusively in Italy to seal the Made in Italy concept that was once automatic weapons and Italian brand but today, in the era of globalization total, must be called with force. Rifles Brescia then, the land where the minds that think the weapon and the workers who carry them out are still and will continue to be among the most qualified in the production sector international firearms. The two versions of Black Diamond has been submitted to IWA 2013 world premiere and then re-proposed in Hunting, Fishing & Hunting and Nature of Spar Village 2013 for the pleasure of hunters and shooters Italian.

WEAPON, EVEN WEAPONS

Fabio Beretta company welcomed us in and made us sit in the vault for safekeeping of weapons, where were proudly displayed on the center table a .410 hunting version and a version Sporting 28. At first sight and without even touching them with his hands in his pockets strictly, there is one thing that strikes you. The all-black glossy frame and all metal parts which harmonizes well with the brown veined woods. It is a vision not too frequent, since most of the weapons that the staff of cacciaearmi.it acquires for testing has silvery color and is often equipped with more or less elaborate carvings. But it is also a vision that meets the esthete and that from the outset gives the rifle that sense of slenderness and elegance, and you would not appreciate it. Yes, because the aesthetics, it is now well established, it is an essential factor of the elements of choice for ancient Italian that, if you purchase a gun from domestic production, the beauty is not research, demands.

The receiver of this superimposed EFFEBI is dedicated to the 28 gauge and built in 18NiCrMo5 from forged steel; is hardened and browned in a very elegant glossy black; laterally are present nappette reinforcement of curvilinear design that over, to play a supporting contrast to the high pressure of the small gauges, give the group a sense of soft visual sophistication further accentuated by the two circular pads of the hinge barrel unit. Freed from the receiver stock, it was possible to see that the trigger mechanism is equipped with two strong coil springs, hinged at the rear, which directly activate the trigger mechanism.

On the dorsal part of the receiver which with its tail is inserted in stock, is placed the key opening of proper size and excellent effectiveness. Immediately behind houses the safety lever activated with snap back and forth and that encompasses the dial of dogs with left-right movement. This is easily activated by the movement of the thumb and also to contested weapon in sight.

Trigger guard and protection, which are also strictly in black shiny uniform, have optimum size and outstanding ergonomics for those who are generous with his fingers. The click of the trigger is sweet and the return in the same position elastic and soft. The lower part of nappetta right door engraved with the name Black Diamond, ser-engraved in a beautiful cursive font that raises even more the overall elegance of the weapon. The chest of the receiver shows the manufacturer’s logo with the classic words EFFEBI. The inside of the receiver back onto the base and sides of the pads of the hinge barrel unit and the typical mechanism of the weapon swinging.

The closure of the classic type is superimposed with gusset ventral which acts by blocking the crampons, system established efficacy and capable of maintaining contained the general dimensions of the receiver.

The barrels are clip-on engine block in which are housed the two ejectors on the top and side stands a significant “EFFEBI MADE IN ITALY”.

They are made of steel 35CrMo4 chrome and well browned. The upper barrel is topped by a large rib 8 mm in the Sporting and 6 mm in the hunt that begins with the first bridge at about 80 mm from the chamber. The bridges with gaps of about 70 mm elegantly blend with a new full at about 70 mm from the muzzle.

Various barrel lengths: 760 mm in the Sporting and choice of 670 or 710 mm in the hunt. The pipes are joined laterally in the hunting version with two ribs and filled in the Sporting version with ventilated ribs for greater need for effective cooling of a weapon that works in the platform. In the version of the viewfinder is the classic hunting spherical brass screwed to the rib. In the Sporting version has a linear cylindrical high visibility that contributes significantly to the aims of the plates taken.

The barrels of both the Sporting version of the game that are equipped with 5 interchangeable choke tubes and wrench.

WOODS

This forend walnut round profile is released from the gun with pump action acting on a simple button located on the terminal just below the bottom barrel. The round rod ensures an ergonomic grip thanks to the generous ribbing that goes down from the sides until the entire lower part, interrupted only in its central part by elegant diamond design, irrelevant to the effects of hand grip. On the contrary the forend, unique to the two versions, stock also visually represents us the differences between the disciplines of hunting and Sporting. In models hunting viewed the stock looks like an interesting and elegant synthesis of Belgian and English school, so sought in modern weapons.

Immediately after the receiver two wedges curved plates describing the start of the gun stock round-bottom according to the dictates of Belgium. The upper part of the calcium has a fillet curve at the beak hake not too accentuated, that well joins the tip of the thumb ensuring a firm grip. The knurling, which begins with a wide V immediately after the wedges dishes, interesting completely throughout the gun. Stock is applied in a butt nut, knurled in the spacing between the housings of the clamping screws to stock, moderately concave and clear and elegant British-inspired.

In version Sporting stock is more generous in size and equipped with gun more important, with a radius of curvature more accentuated the hunting version and base almost flat. The butt solid rubber is also ideal for long shooting sessions and able to absorb a lot of energy of the recoil that in these gauges is never invasive. The advantage in both versions is right, but is available to order a chance to get a kick fitted with advantage for left handed shooters. For both versions, all wooden parts are finished with oil.

INTERCHANGEABLE ‘

EFFEBI, in its continuous search for innovation and versatility for the benefit of the final consumer, has created a rifle insignia of the interchangeability of the barrels. The receiver dedicated 28 is able to accommodate the barrel group of .410, a factor that allows hunters and shooters to adopt, if they wish, in one of two guns by replacing the reeds, sold separately.

The weight in both gauges superimposed Black Diamond stood at 2.5 kg in the hunting version and the 2.7 kg in the Sporting version.

PROOF OF SHOOTING

The shooting where cacciaearmi.it was able to test the quality of Black Diamond was the TAV Canteen of Brescia and the test was conducted on a rainy day in late May and rigid. At the shooting test, our staff has been joined by Maurizio Bertolassi, a friend and colleague Fabio Beretta testimony that friendships can overcome even the “commercial rivalry”, becoming also a moment of constructive professional growth for manufacturers. at the Canteen
We tested the 28 gauge in Sporting configuration that immediately stood out for its ease of shouldering facilitated by the forms and the weight of the weapon which stood at 2.7 Kg.’s excellent balance of the gun, already empirically verified even when the .410, has led to the explosion of the proper shots without detecting trends fledging or vice versa difficulties raised. The excellent ammunition F28 Fiocchi 24 gr.

Lead used in the test made it possible to fully enjoy the effectiveness of the weapon and, after the first shots of togetherness in which Maurizio Bertolassi he just humiliated, we have gained the right confidence with the weapon and hit a number of targets.

PULL SHORT AND WELL HUNTING WOODCOCK

08/09/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

On the hunting ground of many errors result in the shooting distance and such events are frequent in both shots at long or short distance. In short shots hit the wild can mean destroy it and render it useless for the kitchen, but more often it can mean mark it completely.
The teachings of the old hunters were to “wait” and to ward off the wild but there are hunts, primarily the woodcock, where this is often not possible. The delay in the shooting would make it impossible to do so for the large capacity of the queen to interpose between himself and the hunter a great deal of natural obstacles.

Modern technology, however, is coming to the aid both in the area of weapons of ammunition with proper tools to pull short and that they maintain unchanged the effectiveness detrimental; new materials and important insights help us today to make shots at short distances of absolute effectiveness.

Radiused throttle paradoxIl first important step is the replacement of the rifle generic “good for all”, with specialized weapons that can help us in the short throws. The old conception of generic weapons with barrels long enough and fairly heavy can now be conveniently replaced with rifles with barrels shorter and much lighter.

The reduced length of the rod is already in itself a factor that facilitates the dispersion of the shot pattern transverse to the fact that the pressure at the mouth is not yet normalized and causes an enlargement though hardly manageable swarm of dots. The easing of the arms is also important, since they are designed to shoot a few shots as part of a day.

Hunting woodcock instead means fatigue and weight reduction comes to us because we will be better able to be responsive and explode with speed shot. Some argue that lightweight rifles, and with less material, you scassano soon. You can safely argue saying that rifles are Woodcock intended by nature of poop that are designed to shoot over their life cycle, a number of shots considerably less than similar used for hunting migratory, so that argument is hardly sustainable.

The shotguns to shoot intended to pull rods that courts have generally not exceeding 65 cm but very often totaled about 62 cm. A further development that has taken place is linked to the choke that these weapons are intended to facilitate the widening of pink.

We can find or even type of cylindrical radial paradox. These are made in them by a corrugation is to assume that the swarm of the shot tends to be a trend centrifugal useful to expand the next pink.

A highly specialized such weapons is a good idea to associate ammunition specifically designed for shooting at short distance. Once it was considered sufficient that these had not the container and the wad was only able to serve the purpose. Subsequently, and for years now, have been placed on the market equipped with specific ammunition wads cross able, depending on the various forms of splitting the column of dots in 4 or more sectors.

The output from the muzzle of the swarm segmented bullets (thus more swarms parallel) allows the resistance of the air to better perform its function opponent made an enlargement of the shot pattern from the first meters. These solutions provided in cartridges that have taken the name of “dispersants”, now allows to have a very short distances pink uniform and effective. A new frontier for woodcock hunters.

BINOCULARS LEICA GEOVID HD-B 8×42 e 10×42

08/09/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

Presented in January at the Shot Show in Las Vegas the LEICA 8×42 Geovid HD-B is part of a new generation of binoculars that combine observation, distance measurement, ergonomics, and ballistic calculation in a way that the world has never seen before.

LEICA Geovid 8 x 42/10 x 42 HD-B –
optical cacciaDotati of the new ballistic system ABC® (Advanced Ballistic Compensation) and integrated micro-SD card that-for the first once- allows the hunter to load data ballistic his ball in a pair of binoculars, the new Leica Geovid HD-B offers superior accuracy and total versatility for all types of hunting use.

From technology from Leica, a pioneer since 1992 in binoculars with integrated rangefinder, in this case the revolution is the only appropriate term, because the new Geovid is extraordinarily innovative in every respect, so much so that it makes no sense to compare it to any binoculars with rangefinder on the market today . A true revolution in each of the three main elements that characterize a pair of binoculars with rangefinder.

1 Revolution Optics: Optical and extraordinary depth of field unprecedented, for an observation never felt before. For the first time in decades, a new optical system based on Porro prism (in this version are called Perger Porro). Their characteristic is to offer a very deep and three-dimensional.

After decades since the last Porro prism binoculars, Leica it innovates the concept based on optical HD lens Fluorite and thus offering the most modern optical quality to the overall level of competition and the best images from the three-dimensional extraordinary.

2 Revolutionary Design: unique shape, wider space between the tubes, no compromise in appearance to accommodate the rangefinder.

After so many years without innovations in appearance of a pair of binoculars, the Geovid HD-B reaches unprecedented ergonomics with a form which, thanks to the use of Porro-prism Perger, allows the eyepieces to be in position lower than objectives, with enormous advantages in letting thumbs in their natural position below the rest of the fingers and in leaving it to other eight fingers of the hands an internal space to the two tubes for the appeal much higher than that of any comparable product. Even larger hands will enjoy un’impugnabilità never proven.

LEICA Geovid 8 x 42/10 x 42 HD-B – optical cacciaIn more, for the first time it was not necessary any compromise in design: the rangefinder is revealed only by the two buttons measurement and there is no other element that differentiates the Geovid HD-B from a normal binoculars.

3 Revolution in the measurement of the distance: over the distance with the angle of site

The new Geovid HD-B is the measurement instrument most complete on the market, adopting the same software ABC® Rangefinder CRF 1600-b, measure temperature, barometric pressure and angle of the site and incorporates them automatically in the calculation, providing the correct distance with the ‘corner of the site, or get up in centimeters or number of clicks to finally give the ballistic turret to be accurate at any distance.

But the revolution is complete adaptation to the ball used by the hunter, thanks to a removable microSD card, such as digital cameras, on which you can save the information provided by the ballistics program available soon on www.leica-camera.com.

The program is easy to use and works like that for ballistic reticles and turrets: the hunter sets the data of the ball he uses and saves them to the microSD card. The result is a tool that does not read more than just the correct distance with the angle of the site, but how many clicks directly to the ballistic turret, no longer need to use tables. Each hunter can have as many cards microSD how many weapons have, to have his Geovid HD-B always set on the weapon.

LEICA Geovid 8 x 42/10 x 42 HD-B – optical cacciaIl Geovid HD-B is very fast (3.10 second to measure) and powerful, and its measurement capabilities of nearly two kilometers.

The LED automatically adjusts its illumination intensity to ambient light, allowing always the optimal reading of the data. The treatment Acquadura® on external lenses prevents dirt and water to join.

RIFLED BENELLI “ARGO E PROGRESSIVE COMFORT”

08/09/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

There are those who detect, often with excessive dose of criticality, which in the field of hunting weapons the news are always a few, forgetting that these can not be derived from entirely new products, but some interesting revisions of established products, whose original design is so “good in origin” to accommodate improvements in the time of great importance.

A case known to most, is that of the American B52 bomber, which had its baptism of fire in Vietnam in the 60s, he continued to be a player until the second Gulf War in 2003 40 years of excellent service only because his initial project wore in dowry great potential for development. Benelli, allows history from repeating itself, through its Argo rifle, that after the first sale took place some years ago, is giving many interesting developments for the benefit of the hunter.

After the recent version E (endurance), which introduced interesting new techniques, Benelli is again failed to impress – but it has become a tradition almost waiting – concentrating its technical knowledge on the physical relationship between the Argo E, and the hunter who wields the and paying attention to the latter for his comfort. E ‘born on this basis, the Argo And Progressive Comfort, rifle joke that if the concepts embodied in the futuristic recoil reduction, already celebrated by the success of the semi-Raphael Raffaello Crio Power Bore and Black.

In the rifle, as in the semi, the technical concepts of containment marked impact on the shoulder of the hunter were associated with maintaining the use of wood, beginning to produce a rare blend of beauty and functionality. But the evolution of the Argo Progressive Comfort And, it was not immediate it simple. Even with the vast experience gained from Benelli in recoil reduction, the design process has provided an important analysis study of the vectors of the forces that come to the shoulder and the development of mathematical models designed to achieve the ultimate goal, in combination, remember, with a wooden butt of Montecarlo. And I can say today that in his Benelli carbine gave “comfort walnut”, it also means pay her a further step forward in the evolutionary history of the weapon hunting rifled.

At first glance it appears definitely nice football with his form montecarlo, where the color combination of wood and dark parts of a visual sense of positivity. But the appearance, never second Benelli, is the only positive element for the benefit of the eye. Far more interesting is the benefit to the shoulder of the hunter and hunting action in which he is immersed. The Progressive Comfort is specifically made up of two major components: a cushioning system and an innovative recoil. The first is made of polymer that goes to meet a beam structure inside the football nut. These, under the action of the force of the recoil, tend to flex, absorbing a part of the kinetic energy. The cantilever beams are divided into two groups: the first is a Member of the absorption of the lower impact forces while the second group goes into action with the most important forces, providing the progression of reduction – which takes its name from the weapon – and breaking down negative feelings on the shoulder of the hunter. The cushioning system is integrated in the butt microcellular polyurethane which helps, when firing, the recoil reduction. And that, both for the material that has the property of absorbing energy, both because, expanding against the shoulder allows to render part of the human body distributed over a greater surface. Benelli has experimented extensively solutions used and the graph shown here, is more than many words, the evidence of the excellent work carried out.

To complete the comfort, the butt of the rifle, Benelli has also intervened on the nose. This, applied in the dorsal part and formed of the same material of the butt, has the prerogative to absorb the vibrations of the shot, interrupting their transmission deleterious to the skull and increasing the overall feeling of comfort. Both recoil lug that are interchangeable (the weapon has different sizes supplied), allowing the hunter to find its right position. The second fundamental prerogative of the Progressive Comfort system is the benefit ballistic made from it. Argo rifles are intended for the courts and the boar is their game of choice is known to hunt in difficult environment for important vegetation cover and the speed and sudden changes of direction suida. The Argo And Comfort Progressive a successful hunting much easier because the system allows for the elimination of the very tipping generated by the recoil, allowing the hunter, in a few moments useful to the shooting, to stay with the weapon in the line of sight and concentrate on target. The benefit is important, to enjoy an easy aim on a wild often requires doubling the shots.

Another prerogative of the Argo And Progressive Comfort is visually perceptible, is a new color of the casing slightly faded to brown. But what matters even more is the technical aspect of the staining, who created with an innovative aluminum electrolytic anodizing process gives the castle that houses the shutter, trigger group and magazine, superior weather resistance, superior hardness surface and maintaining a long-lasting color.

In the Argo And Progressive Comfort, Benelli has high care in the choice of woods and in their treatment; either carrying in wood grade 2, finite oil, and equipping them with checkering Wood Touch that provide a pleasant and firm grip on the gloved hand that is free. Available at the time of purchase two kicks of different lengths (350 and 365), which together with the supplied interchangeable recoil pads allow excursions ranging from 350 to 380 mm, allowing you to find the optimal distance butt-trigger (LOP) for each hunter.

Apart from these interesting and functional innovations, the new rifle Benelli preserves all the performance peculiarities present in Argo E. We find therefore, constructed of stainless steel the group of outlet gas and the relative piston. Benelli has also equipped his rifle a very good speed of disassembly and ease of access to components for a more thorough cleaning that should be inherent in every good hunter. The reeds at the top as was the custom of the company Urbino, made with hammering steel Cr Mb, with cryogenic treatment, burnished, 51 cm long and equipped with a right-hand rifling to 6 principles. These are interchangeable and proposals in the calibers 30.06 Springfield and .308 Winchester.

Chargers prismatic 2, 4 shots (even 10 where permitted), sling swivels quick release always useful for driven hunts, complete potential of this rifle when Benelli, at the height of his coat of arms, was able to concentrate a lot of novelties, to meet the needs of most real hunter.

HUNTING CARTRIDGES FOR SMALL GAME

08/09/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

With the arrival of September, the small game is set up in our country, especially pheasants, hares and partridges. In this period, therefore, the Wild also has all the physical characteristics that allow it to be able to implement the necessary defenses to counteract the activity carried out by the Hunter.

It is also l’epoca you open hunting sedentary, which goes live on the day of the opening to the closing which usually coincides, at least for some species, or just before the end of the calendar year.

Like any type of hunting that also has features for its permanent involving The use of firearms and calibrated in a certain way and with certain characteristics. Became this type of hunting for old hunters, maybe still in business, but are part of a generation or two ago, brings back the memories associated with many moments such as, for example, an opening very rich prey affected, or of strokes particularly difficult that led to excellent results with l’uccisione trophies, such as the hare that, in hunting sedentary, represents a trophy for a hunter always coveted.

What are the appropriate tools to perform effective town’s how much fun hunting resident? We seek here to make a classification, the most concise as possible, that surely little new give the expert hunter but that, on the contrary, may be useful for the novice.

A) The hunter must have a good shotgun 12 gauge or even 20, it is obvious that caliber will also vary depending on the types of cartridges to be used. The gun must be in a suitable condition at the level of cleanliness, especially the battery and / and rods and have all of its parts in perfect working order to avoid having a weapon ballistically invalid and, moreover, even dangerous to those who use it .

Do a thorough maintenance of a’arma at the end of the hunting season, with identical operation to be repeated just before the start of the next, always represent the best viaticum.

It is often recommended that a quick glance dall’armiere generally see immediately if there is any imperfection and, perhaps, the need to replace a few pieces.

Among the types of guns is not any one in particular is to be preferred, we say that the most popular are the shotguns, the automatic and superimposed all good weapons.

B) The most suitable cartridge for hunting preferable to sedentary is loaded with a dose of lead medium-high; can happen, for example, which can break down a fairly volatile sized with a small caliber, but this will happen if you shoot a short distance behind the dog and l’alzata, however, always with a minimum of luck.

Generally we use the so-called “improperly” armored cartridges that have a base whose height varies from 3 to 4 cm. The name of this cartridge is improper because, in a future article, we will see the characteristics of the cartridge “Battleship” proper.

Generally, the cartridge case back with height 3 cm is always more than good, even if the eye of the hunter, see the bottom of the cartridge with a cartridge from 4-5 cm to always have the feeling of having in his hands a lot more cartridge performance.

C) The dots to be used must have a charge that goes from 34 to 38 g; if you shoot a wild tonnage of an adult pheasant, the numbering of the shot generally varies from 7.8 for shooting at short range when the wild part as a result of the lift of the dog, up to 6.5 or even the 4 especially if you shoot in the open countryside, at distances that are often at the limit of the range of the shot.

If you are in a forest, or place, however, impervious and low visibility, where the pheasant gets up in the short range of the shot, it is good to use as a substantial number 4 which may seem exaggerated, but it is often because must overcome the obstacles located in the woods and / or in the undergrowth, such as leaves, twigs, etc. ..

D) The powders used for hunting sedentary generally consist of slow-burning propellants but highly progressive. The pressure that the cartridges are loaded with these powders generate approximately 700 bar, loads perfectly acceptable for a normal rifle, although generating a recoil quite dry. Are commercially available cartridges are much more powerful though, in my opinion, over-sized for the sedentary, that is very extreme cartridges that can get inside the barrel to generate up to 1,000 bar.

These cartridges belong to the category of those with “high performance”. Manufacturers, in packs containing this type of cartridges, clearly show these high-performance and their consequences in terms of pressures they generate, not so much to ensure the hunter on the results that can be achieved, but to warn of the risk that may result The use of these cartridges.

It can happen that the hunter possesses a gun, maybe even old and which has not been approved over the 800/900 bar.

In these cases it is best to stay away from the cartridges to “high performance” in order to avoid serious damage to their health.

E) The wads that are used can be either plastic container with vegetable fiber. As a general advice, but of course is at the discretion of the hunter, it is advisable to insert a cartridge into the barrel first with felt wad, then a second with a wad of plastic because, in the case of departure of the volatile as a result of the dog and close range, the first may be more effective; then if you need the so-called second shot, you will use the one with the wad of plastic that gives more boost to the shot and, therefore, a greater range of the shot.

If you are located in covered places for which the shot is fired always and only at distances, we recommend instead the use of only cartridge with felt wad, with l’ulteriore aid of canes little choked.

F) The cartridge at the top can be equipped with two different types of closure: closure “round edge” and “crimp closure. The first, which commercially available is greatly decreased, due to higher production costs, produces, when firing, pink larger, but slightly shorter, while the one on the crimp closure, which is the most popular, produces pinkish more focused, narrower and slightly longer with more opportunities to cool the prey if the shot is well directed and the same is invested in full by the same rosy.

In addition to the pheasant, there are two types of permanent hunting hunting extremely widespread; hunting hare and the partridges, grouse and partridges.

In hare hunting is necessary to have cartridges “substantial” and, here, using gauges cartridges ranging from 2 up to zero as the hare, being extremely fast and with the bones and muscles strong, to be gunned must necessarily be hit with cartridges with considerable power d’impatto, with a high caliber of lead. In fact, the hare can also be affected with cartridges “lighter” and, perhaps, with a greater number of dots which, although going to target, not fatally affect on prey.

In the hunt partridges, grouse and partridges instead the speech is completely different; In fact, it is advisable to use as small a number to the 8th of the first shot and a 7, that is a little more substantial if the first shot was not solver and considering that the prey is in the process of removal than the hunter.

In Italy it is a type of detectable partridge called “ciukar” that, besides having dimensions larger than the classical partridge, has the habit to get away to pawn for many meters and, therefore, when fly off at times is already almost to limit of the range of the shot. For this type of bird it is obvious return to more substantial numbers such as 4 or 5 at the most, as well as hitting an animal that can better resist the action of the shot is hit at a greater distance, then the charge of the cartridge must be substantial.

Last point to make concerns the climatic conditions in which it is carried out hunting sedentary. Generally occurs when the opening in September climates are hot and dry with an average humidity, going to l’autunno often we encounter in colder climates and wetter. The variant climate must be taken into consideration as regards both the heat and cold and is especially as regards of humidity.

In the case of medium to high humidity is essential to choose the cartridges where dust mixtures are not very hygroscopic, that is, that are not affected by moisture or high may limit performance. Everyone knows, of course, what to buy and the good advice of friends will do the rest to provide the bandolier of ammunition most suitable for each hunt.

Soon it will start a new season for all appassioniati to which the Staff of CacciaInFiera.it does a great good luck!

GRANDPARENTS EXPRESS MODERN

08/09/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

SPONSORED BY

The term was coined by express gunsmiths English 800 who first wrestled in the realization of this weapon rifled giving an interpretation that included the two rods side by side and, therefore, starting from the structure of the typical shotgun. At the time EXPRESS was the nickname that was given to the trains, just to signify the speed with which ensured the move as an alternative to other means of locomotion of the time. The weapon Express therefore was synonymous with speed meaning by this that the projectile launched on the target and this name was coined by the great James Purdey.

Although, express the classic pipe juxtaposed the modern reinterpretation consider them. also over barrels. But here we will not talk to express modern, this article is dedicated to the myths of the past and their guns.

The study and the realization of the express port names of absolute fame, Holland & Holland, Rigby, Westley Richards, and their interpretations were the landmarks of gun making era.

BECAUSE OF THE EXPRESS

Like all hunting weapons, also express arose from a specific need, given to British gunsmiths from the market of high-end of the nobles and the new rich. The British Empire embraced the most remote places of the world and the game had them present very different characteristics from that of the British Isles. Animals of great size and extremely dangerous, often especially resistant epidermis, the hunting of which frequently made in the bush or among the tall grasses of the savannah, it was done a few tens of meters with the need to have weapons of easy maneuverability and power d ‘stop decisive. Thus was born the need to design the rifled gun barrel, also different from those that turned in central Europe, where the ballistics had the prerogative of the one final blow and long distance shots.

The colonial territories and their hunts had other prerogatives: the targets were often hidden from view by the dense vegetation of the hunters and the consequence was that they had to bring a lot. A short distance the shot was easy in aiming guns powerful but needed to stop on the spot the wild that if only wounded was able to load and kill the hunter. Hence the need to double the shot, both in a very short time (a rotating sliding shutter would be difficult to manage in the heat of the moment), and with the absolute certainty of not having paper jams, manageable factor absolute only with two barrels mechanisms firing separated.

From these requirements came the family of the express, which just for the pursuit of absolute perfection from the outset were placed on high market prices, which are accessible only to a narrow circle of the market or for professional hunters, who made it their business tool.

THE TECHNIQUE OF EXPRESS

Being double-barreled weapons, the first problem for the manufacturer so was the setting for obtaining good pink and this was the task of a precise category of the British workers “master regulator barrel.” The adjustments of arms was made directly in the field, where these specialists accedevano with arms in white carrying on sprint temporary spacers.

Here we did a series of tests carried out generally on the 100 yards (91.44 meters) until you reach the desired coupling.

In parallel with the rear sight is regulated intermediate and the viewfinder until the pink of ten shots were not going to both barrels within a radius of 20 cm, although the best calibrations carried the weapons to get pinkish diameter of ten centimeters.

These values are unacceptable in the modern sense of ballistics but absolutely valid for an Express and the hunts for which they were intended.

Another prerogative of the Express was the caliber always big and powerful that foresaw the necessity of having weapons always been particularly robust. These have had pistols both type Anson that type Holland & Holland, the latter very often removable, given that the hunter would be found in areas devoid of dealers for maintenance.

THE GAUGES HISTORICAL

Recalling that the historians were designed to express wild and so are always challenging especially important as a dimension:

375 Holland & Holland Magnum – produced by the house that bears the name since 1912 became a popular caliber and still we find it chambered in both carbines express that in a rotating shutter sliding. It was used both on the African wild Indian, especially for cats, while it was considered caliber not too sure for the pachyderms.

450/3 and ¼ “N.E. – Marked on the cartridge introduced in 1898 by the famous neo-John Rigby. He was for many years the ammunition used in Africa because it is considered more reliable on any kind of wild. Then replaced by the legendary 416 Rigby, famous for its qualities of power and penetration, even on such wild buffalo and elephant.

.500 / 465 N.E. – Cartridge introduced at the beginning of the ‘Holland & Holland 900 from 450 in substitution of NE now that caliber military was no longer used for sporting purposes both in India and in the Sudan. He had a great success and was considered a good gauge for all wildlife.

.475 N.E. – Introduced from 1905 onwards and was used to express that in both rifles. Its use was preferred over dangerous animals in tender skin, but successfully used for short-distance shots on large pachyderms. The second generation introduced only a year after he had a shell of nearly 4 inches long and a half and it was suitable for the most challenging hunts in Africa.

.500 / 3 “N.E. – Was the first ammunition for gunpowder, then from the end of the 800 borrowed for powder without smoke. The ammunition was preferred by professional hunters who accompanied the wealthy in safari, for its effectiveness even against the most difficult game.

.577 / 3 “N.E. – Introduced from 1880 as a black powder cartridge was equipped with a long bushing 2 “and ¾. Then it was loaded with smokeless powders with the cartridge case led to 3 “. His reputation was the main ones being the cartridge to be certain that elephants preferred to NE 600 due to its greater penetration.

.600 N.E. – High power ammunition introduced by Jeffery in 1903 Produced by house until 1962 has recently been revived by some manufacturers to express. Its power was considered too exuberant for elephants.

The answers to the ammunition English

9,3x74R – German response to the British barracks was more than that in express rifles in sliding and rotating shutter in combination. It could be conveniently used both in hunting large animals on African Americans and Europeans such as grizzly bear, moose, etc..

458 W.M. – Much more modern calibers English was introduced since 1956 and also had the versatility to be used both in express that in rifles. Cartridge is very powerful even for the most challenging wild.

EFFEBI TERMINATOR: THE ITALIAN KIPPLAUF

08/09/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

The ribbed single barrel folding is intended for those who practice strenuous hunts ungulates, whether in the mountains or to look up the hill through the woods and clearings. Became weapon solid, practical and light, leaving only the task of the hunter to aim well without shortness of breath because they never tired. Kipplauf is the weapon by high specialization, designed and developed for the needs montane and alpine Europe workhorse of many historic and successful producers in Germany and Austria.

But it has now crossed borders and is produced with success in Italy.
EFFEBI has been able to reinterpret it, imposing his practical sense and succeeding, through superb accomplishments, to broaden the use of logic and wild which can be addressed. And ‘the case of the Terminator, produced by EFFEBI Concesio (ITALY), and with whom Fabio Beretta, owner and unparalleled creative mind, he wanted to give an answer to some of the specialties of the hunt ball, tackling the issues of realization of the’ weapon from the point of view of the hunter. And let’s start right here, by the end user.

Terminator is a single-shot rifle folding with the ability to be folded up to bring the barrel in position almost parallel to the calcium. Factor that facilitates the alpine hunter often used to carry the weapon in his backpack. And just to transport over long distances and challenging mountain EFFEBI the thought, creating a product that is a little over 3 kg (3,050 gr.) To which we add the weight of optics that the hunter will choose for his fighter. Lightness, therefore, ease of transport and they do get out of the Terminator by the exclusive use of mountain hunts and for hunting also propose to look at non-alpine ungulates (deer and fallow deer), governs booming throughout the national.
Thinking about the latter and the real risk that a weapon of high aesthetic refinement may suffer scratches on the wood in search in the woods, the EFFEBI has created a weapon to protect spartan no frills excessively and can distract the hunter. And in this spirit of versatility is achieved in various calibers.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS
The receiver, the heart of any weapon, is made from a single block of forged steel and cemented in HCD4 houses the trigger group. The opening of the weapon is achieved by adjusting the throttle opening located on the upper tail of the receiver. This action frees the ventral piece and allows the opening of the weapon el’armamento inserting the battery, automatically the security mechanism.

At the close of the weapon appears to be ready, armed with the trigger mechanism, but with the safety engaged automatically.

So the shot is not allowed unless the action takes place voluntarily disengage the safety by sliding forward of the lever behind the throttle opening. The closure of the Terminator is guaranteed by a harpoon downloaded which is housed in the headquarters of the plans of the receiver through the dowel reinforcement created entirely from forged early.

The rotation of the barrel on the receiver is guaranteed by chromium molybdenum steel pin UM10 securely fastened.
The battery has no steckher and the gun has a trigger which 1.200 gr factory calibrated. The barrel is made with UM8 process rotomartellatura cold GFM machines. The barrel has a conical profile and is lapped internally before proceeding to the implementation of the lining in order to obtain both the crest that the bottom row of transparencies so as to make more fluid the path of the ball. The rod is inserted plug in the engine block and then welded silver alloy. The Terminator series is equipped with weaver base for the mounting of optics. It ‘also equipped with rear sight adjustable for those unwilling to use optics.
The EFFEBI upon request will provide the hunter demanding a system of rings slide and quick-release steel products from Contessa that can be mounted on the rifle with four simple screws.
WOODS
Football and boom are in Italian walnut oil finished. The stock has dorsal curvature and supports-cheek style made in Central Europe, which will facilitate the operation correctly targeted. The rod has a rectangular profile and tend to his front has a slight duck bill. Its bottom center houses the deep milling required acceptance of the bridge’s protective trigger. Both football auction have serrations of excellent workmanship made by laser.

PROOF OF SHOOTING
The EFFEBI for the test has made available a Terminator in 6,5x57R caliber. As the gun-shot and then set to pull out of sequence, the shots were not fired in succession, but only to the cooling of the barrel after the previous stroke. Procedure a bit ‘long in time but more comparable with the shooting.

The test shots were made at 100 meters with ammunition with balls 126, 130, 120 grains. The shot pattern wider than the canonical 100 meters was 25 mm while the closer to 21 mm. The felt recoil was pleasantly reduced despite the rifle used had a weight of only 3,050 grams.

CONCLUSIONS
The weight, the ability to replicate completely the weapon to the long marches of approach to the target, the recoil particularly low and the price, that in setting used does not exceed 1,400 euros including VAT, make the Terminator of EFFEBI an important ally hunter’s ball, which will certainly take into consideration when making your purchase.

ZEISS VICTORY HT 54 BINOCULARS: INNOVATIVE EXCELLENCE

08/08/2014 huntingrifle Leave a comment

What optics is probably among the areas of production in the service of the hunter, the most demanding in terms of massive investments required to always provide something more in terms of performance. And this is only permitted giants are able to commit substantial resources to research, to get a step up in performance. Sometimes they are small steps, sometimes leaps important as they get older surely what the market already offers. The latter is established habit of Zeiss that always, when he proposes something new, it does clearly separating performance in what is already a lively market offers.

Only recently - in 2012 - Zeiss binoculars had placed on the market with excellent performance in versions 8 x 42 and 10 x 42 and this had collected the favor of the fans for his extraordinary ability to transmit 95% of light and over, thanks to a massive effort in research on the glasses made HT from Schott sister.

But Zeiss wanted to go further this year and was the star of a major new product in the field of binoculars that has placed it at the pinnacle of excellence: the Victory HT 54.

But as it has come to design a new pair of binoculars at the top of the class?

As usual Zeiss is playing in his quest by the customer, or by the hunter and its needs. Hunter needs for his twilight observation of extreme brightness, lightness, because overloaded with equipment hunting along rough terrain, resistance, because his journey is fraught with difficulties and efficiency in all weather conditions.

Zeiss, starting with these powers, has taken on the burden of design excellence for the modern hunter.

The base material of the structure has been the most important choice and has fallen on the magnesium, which although challenging in processing, allows to obtain considerable advantages. These are the absolute weight (1,035 grams and 1,050 grams in 8 x 54 in 10 x 54), but the magnesium, for its characteristic molecular puts an extra advantage in the hands of the hunter more distracted. In case of collisions is much easier to bring it back into service, to the original form; this than aluminum and as they say in the hunting is metal with “the most memory.”

The design study of the forms has also allowed us to forge a bridge structure with a very protective of the ring (Double-Link-Bridge), putting more sheltered from shocks than many products on the market.

But because, fair question, research performance has not gone on a 56 mm?

The reduction in weight was a prerogative but there is much more, this is all the extraordinary skill and ability to research Zeiss enters its productions. The company working on the biometric parameters of the human eye has put its focus on the cognitive abilities of the same in the various age groups, noting with analytical data irrefutable, that after 30 years, the elastic capacity of the pupil are already down so that a 54 mm is already greater than the possible capacity of the dilated pupil. He therefore deemed it unnecessary to use a 56 mm that could not be exploited by the human eye and would have led to an increase against major weight around the neck of the hunter

Defined what Zeiss has focused on getting a result brightness of excellence with more than 95% of light transmission, the configuration of 54 mm lens allows you to take full advantage of the human eye, even in people with age in the .

Extraordinary result was obtained with the amplitude of the angular range of 130 m / km in 8 x 54 and up to 110 m / km for the 10 x 54 true excellence in the field of binocular observation.

But, as always, the German company has come out of the lab and thought to the hunting grounds and weather the difficulties that the hunter encounters. In addition to the T * multi-layer anti-reflective coating, it is especially important to the development of treatment LotuTec®, able to provide a vision always clear, when we pass from the sun to rain or snow.

Extraordinary, as tradition ergonomics, which brings Victory 54 at the top of maneuverability and ease of use.

Binoculars truly extraordinary when new Zeiss has outdone herself, which allow sharp observations and at great distances until late at night.
