My old carbine was quite heavy to carry so I find that my Weatherby Vanguard cut down to 16" with a DPT on it works well, esp for North Island bush conditions

Still miss the old carbine tho

What was your old carbine?

I never found out if it was a Thompson barrel but it was certainly a 1911 single stack mag feeding 45 into a Lee Enfield action

It wouldn't even trigger my electronic earmuffs when I fired but the trajectory was rainbow-like

Quite heavy

I got it off Tardme off a guy in Bulls then sold it to a bloke in pistol club who I think put it in Ted's auction

I'd love a newer lighter one but will make do with my suppressed AR10 style doodad for now

Is there any chance that this interesting thread could get back to being BushPig / Firearm / Shooting related ?

Slim/none

Another after party crasher.... another wee man coming in after the grunt work is done... not even realising when to leave well enough alone...

mate you couldn't keep up with me on a bad day....

165 ballistic tip - 500gr cast - 240 gr xtp

There's certainly a temptation to go big or go home

With my downloaded 416 you get a little of the same. Starts out big diameter anyway and only gets bigger. Barrel too long for the bushpig status though. @Sidney nope you are the one causing trouble at the wrong party. Keep telling yourself that princess.
If you don't have anything to contribute to the post apart from trying to look clever bugger off.

What no aussie vernacular this time...? what a chance passed up to sound clever

For a while, the back and forth between the various protagonists was amusing, but now, it is just silly.

Escalated quickly. The OP asked for a brief education on rifles known as "bush pigs". Where did that become a bitch fight? Poor bugger is probably confused as hell. This sort of bullshit does nothing for anyone

I hope he stopped reading a long time ago.

Maybe, but if I recall the discussion was originally between consenting adults, who could interact in a manner that indicated that neither was taking it seriously... and others seemed to enjoy that for what it was..

Then these two lemons came along...

ouch. and I thought I was such a sweet thing too. @stevodog on the otherhand lol

Here's another lil stumpy of mine.

Model 7 7mm08, it was a trademe purchase that ended up being a bit cosmetically scruffy.

So cut it down to 15" to get rid of the corroded barrel exterior and had it bedded into a B&C stock purchased off here recently.

It goes surprisingly well with a stiff dose of CFE223 behind either 120 prohunters or 120 or 140gr NBTs.

It handles really well and points very fast.

I'll be trying it out with just 2 baffles on the DPT to keep it super short for a Stewart Island trip soon.
