Assessing roebuck heads and testing the new Blaser Professional 2.0 rifle stock
Chris Rogers gives advice on assessing the quality and age of roebuck from their antlers before trying out the new Blaser Professional 2.0 rifle stock on the range and in the field
Chris Rogers from the Euston Estate takes a look at several roe buck heads collected from the estate over the years and explains which animals he would cull and which he would leave in an effort to improve antler quality. He also offers guidance on ageing roe bucks by their antlers before putting this management approach into practice during an evening stalk.
Chris switches to his .243 barrel and fits the new Blaser Professional 2.0 stock, which he has been sent to trial. A visit to the range to check zero demonstrates just how precise the Blaser system is when changing barrels and stocks, while still maintaining a perfect zero.
