20 Tactical. Built on a Tikka 595 Continential Varminter. True Flite Ultra Match barrel, Gunworks supressor. Now has a Swarovski Z6 2.5-15x44 scope on it, scope sits much lower as I have got rid of the rail and used low Optilocks instead. I like it a lot... Factory Lapua brass available (via Dakota), mine pushes out 40gr vmax's at just under 4k fps using 26gr of powder...

Nice rifles guys:have a nice day:
Steyr Provarmint does the business as my "varmint" rifle - usually use the .243 (and lately the .44 Mag) though
Keep umming and arring about selling it, its a very nice thing but doesn't get out nearly enough?

Very nice kit there guys ,some of you must be fatcats and loaded or just like crazyman ,a straight out gun nut .:thumbsup:
What do you think of the Z6 Claw??? had me eye on this or the Z5,,,who did you end up getting it through??Quote:

A Z5 3.5-18 would be a nice choice to I reckon (for a varminter thats not going to dial)

Jongmans .223 with 1-8 and 1-12 barrels (dont ask) MAE suppressor and now has a 3-15 minox,
Shoots 65 gamekings, 75 grn VLD's and Hornady 55 varminters very well.
Have a mod 2 brno .22 and a Voere in .22 magnum for closer in.
G'Day Fella's,
Here is some images of my purpose built Long Range varminter, "Hopper Stopper".
It is based on an old Rem 700 that has been completely trued and squared up, then had the action sleeved.
It has a re-worked Remington 700 trigger that has been converted to a 3 lever design and breaks at 2 ounces.
It is set up as a switch barrel rifle, so you can have a series of barrels (and bolts), that will fit the one action.
Attachment 187
At the time these images were taken, the only barrel I had for it, was a Maddco, #7 in .22-250AI (tight neck), with a 1-14" twist.
Attachment 188
Here is an image, showing it being used to hit the occasional Rodent, at a series of warrens amongst the Gum trees, at around 500 meters
All the gunsmith work, was done by John Giles of www.pseco.com.au many years ago.
This rifle is so accurate, if I miss what I'm aiming at, I'm not able to blame the rifle!!!
Doh!
Homer
Homer what barrel length, pills and speed where you getting in that 22 250 AI 1-14 twist?
Have you ever tried a fast twist barrel on your 22 250AI?
G'Day Terminator,
It has a 26" barrel and no, I've only ever used this 1-14" barrel.
As I wrote elsewhere on this forum, in hindsight, I believe the .243Win would be a better Long Range (and further), varmint caliber!
Please find attached, an image of one of the targets I shot, after running in the barrel.
This is what I call, a Maximum Safe Working Load (MSWL), in this rifle
Attachment 206
It is capable of more velocity but when even I can shoot groups like this, well............
As you can see, this rifle does shoot, I only wonder what it is actually capable of, as I'm no BR shooter!!!
Hope that helps
Doh!
Homer
I think you should wear that barrel out as fast as possible, and stick a 1:8" one on there...
G'Day Gimp,
Apparently, there is a strong Westerly wind blowing, so I hope that gets your Christmas Presents to you, before you fly out!!!
The wonderful thing about that rifle is, I can very easily screw out and in any barrel, that has been made up for it.
I made up a barrel vice, using an old piston Connecting Rod (conrod).
Where the slipper bearing normally sits, I machined up an aluminum bush that was a snug fit in the conrod and a slip fit over the barrel.
I used a hacksaw to make a cut from the outer diameter, into the inner hole and this has enough give in it to clamp onto the barrel!
I really do need a digital camera!!!
With a Davidson Action Wrench where the bolt normally goes, a bit of a nudge and that loosens the barrel.
Doh!
Homer
I need to see this thing in person.Quote:

Nah, it's a gunworks "Stubbie"
doesn't work too hot on the 12" barrel, need to get something a bit bigger
Or get a longer barrel when I get around to replacing the factory one
I have a Bunny Buster 'Black Mumba' on mine.
Was really good on the 14.5
Doesn't he "not exist" now?
I spoke to him last week - hes fixing his mill - getting another off him this week.
Redesigning website, moving, retooling etc
I'll just steal my giant 6" long .22 mag gunworks one back off Tussock
Maybe you should upgrade your scope Pete. ;)
Yeah the Mk4 is a bit average, I do have a spare 2.5-10x24 Nightforce somewhere (somewhere in the post, that is)
Gimp, that thing looks hilarious ! I don't think the pouches truly reflect what that thing fires either :D
Is that a miniature grenade launcher on the end ?
Beige. Getting threaded as soon as possible.
