    Jongmans with a 1/8 Tikka barrel also have a 1/12 mab barrel, shoots everything up to 65 Game king into 1 hole. Have never seen another one.
    I'm trying to get to heaven before they shut the door.

    Nathan F pretty keen on seeing some more photos and some details on your set up. Sounds and looks like something I’ve been hoping to set up.

    OK , not a Deer Rifle ( Dingoe spotlighting rig ) but it is my only .223 now .

    Howa 1500 Factory 20 inch Fluted heavy barrel , Stocky’s Carbon Stock .
    Basically 9 pounds , no ammo/no bipod
    The slip on recoil pad isn’t to tame the massive recoil of the .223 , but to increase the length of the stupidity short stock .
    Shoots 77gn TMK’s into genuine repeatable 16mm groups at 100m .
    It’s a cheap Rig that just works , and the Meopta 2-10 scope is the best scope low light scope I’ve found so far . We never shoot over 250yrds at night so there is no need to dial etc .

    Yeah. Arapaoa pig. They are pretty relaxed up that way.
