Thank you!!
The stock was altered to fit rifle.
All the best.

thats a very seriously cool varmit rig. what scope are you using?

with those 123 amaxes you basiaclly could use it as a general porpose hunting rifle over here, and what better way to get good with it than practice on rabbits

Thanks mate!!
Just sold my Parker Hale TX1200 in 7.62x51 / i used 155 A-maxs in this for hunting and target work too!!;)
Decided to sell it though and let someone else have some fun with her as i have another rifle on its way!!
I have a Anchutz model 62 in 22RF which i use for bunny control..
I have owned some other calibers too!!
All the best.

Hi Toby ,
Just to answer to one of the questions , yes we get Wild Boar in england but none where i live at the moment / can go to Dorset to hunt them though!!
All the best.

I was going to ask how that preforms on them like would it kill it but then I thought to my self I have shot a few pigs with a .22lr of course that would kill it.

Thought some of you may be interested in past owned rifles..

Thank you;)
Those that was last pictured are gone to pay for other rifles ( like the one i have now )
And yes thats a Fallow head - shot at 157yds with 6PPC:)

I want to shoot a nice fallow buck, There is a doc block here that we hunt and me and my mate have heard rumors of fallow in there but when we were in there we saw some goats and kept walking took another look and a few fellow were running off, so gutted.

What a magnificent obsession. Choice gear.:thumbsup:
