Great thing's come in short packages

Well fuk me finally got to sight in me bang sticks that I'd been mucking around with over the poxy lockdown, New 3-15 VX 5 firedot ( little big for the gun hence the ugly bag to get some cheek rest ) & then decided to try some heavier pills in the 30 ARX aka 30grendal

The results are pretty impressive I reckon, 223 - 30 ARX - 308 for comparison

30 grains of 2207 pushing a 155 A-Max @ 2435 fps out'a a 16" tube, fuk now she's a realistic & humane 400 yard Red killer, chur chur

You would say that Phil.

Seriously, that's good ballistics for the short action. Sounds like the 7.62x39 reinvented ?

Hunter was all about Phil's small people stocks.
He did ask if was going to be taller than you when he grows up.

Just a question about shooting position. Should the right leg be bent instead of left? I have always bent right leg, is there a proper way or just what is most comfortable?

Thats a sweet looking rifle and awesome ballistics, way better than I'd have guessed.

Once upon a time I would've questioned these small wildcats, but the likes of the 6mm-223 and this, you can get some sweet performance from these (comparably) small little cases.

@Philipo you obviously don't regret not selling this in December. I thought you had it SPF? Good to see it still proving itself.

That's a seriously cool and handy little rifle, I was wondering where it had gotten to.

Was just personal preference Bill, I don't think it makes any real difference & I always lap my Talleys to help iron out any problems.

Yeah little W cats are cool alright, I loved my 6mm-204 that thing rocked. They can be a little pressure sensitive so care needs to be taken when loading em hot, but I was impressed with that ARX @ 30grains there were no pressure sighs at all, could maybe go slightly hotter but from what I'd read that was a good maximum & it seems to really like that load.

Yeah I did sell it mate, sold it to good old Shaneo & then brought it back again about two months later once I got my shit sorted :thumbsup:
