Thread: Bush rifles

Actually when you think about it. They aren't reproductions as such.they are genuine NEW builds...Afterall the components are the same,the action and stock are for most part the same as originals were made from. Frankenstein rifles back then so no more so now lol

I figure for the amount of shots the dog gets over her head (maybe half a dozen a year, if she's lucky) a std suppressed 7-08 is fine. Most shots I take with her there I've already got her in heel anyway. I'm currently developing a load which I will use for tops/open country hunting and I suspect it will take a bit more effort to get that shooting how I want it.

150lrab give it a try you won’t be sorry

Here's mine, 18inch Remington 700 "mountain rifle", ironic I cut it shorter and don't regret it one bit. Same overall length as a 16inch tikka (being a short action vs a long action).

Is a 7mm08 but won't matter one bit. I just use anything through it, 120 PPU for awhile, Belmont 139sst, used blue box federal for awhile. Now I'm into 120gr sierras that I just got a load close enough and found the 120gr PPU to be awesome so just mimicking that with low recoil. Have also had it on the tops ironically aswell
