    Thanks Grant.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I picked up my new 10/22 takedown from gunworks today after getting it suppressed, plus sorted out the mountings. Great little gun all round

    New Tahr and Tops Rig,

    Pestered Terminator to get this finished so to take south but missed the boat, now busy as hell with work and have only had time to give it one short outing but loved every abusive minute of it. Now some serious range time to get used to it!!!

    Decided credits due so thought id give him a plug

    I must say workmanship time frame attention to detail and all round service was brilliant. Even came with load data!!!

    project - .338 capable of firing 300 grn projectiles 750 seated for optimal performance, floor plate/blind mag as a simple hunting rifle. durable and carry-able (no dangley bits)

    .338 Norma MAG
    TF UM 26"
    Terminator T3 brake which absolutely rocks - needed to be as this rifle does bark
    ADL Hunters Edge CF
    PTG Bolt
    Remmington action/trigger assembly
    nightforce rings and M4 8.5-25x50

    Ideally wanted to review after shoot but now will have to wait a month or so as im away again, but Tahr on the cards June.

    .338 Norma Mag vs .300 WSM







    Cheer Terminator your a champion!!!

    This turned up a few months ago after a very long wait, and now I have loaded some ammo for it, it will get a workout this week.

    Primo.

    I’ve got one in .223. Love it. I have the same ‘scope on mine (if that’s an AV3-9)

    Damn I was right, was terrified I would be lynched if I called it a savage and was something else. Accutrigger, never seen them in that chamber though.

    Good choice mate, you going to thrash it on Wednesday. And don't be put off by Rushys rifle, it can always be suppressed

    Savage 11 lightweight - 5.5lb from factory
    @Tahr I remember ordering mine about the time you got yours
    I think Sportways still has a few on the shelf with their closing down sale.

    I saw the American Model 14 in there yesterday, $600 odd down from $900 something. Don't recall seeing the lightweight hunter but wasn't really looking for another rifle.

    Usually 1300ish, but Sportways listed one in .223 in their closing down catalogue at $950.

    It's been tormenting me for weeks, but don't think the timing is quite right..

    Someone else buy it if they still have it and tell us, so I can stop the "should I, shouldn't I"

    Last week of their closing sale is this coming week.
