Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Marlin 336 Dark 30-30 lever action, repurposed VX-6 1-6 CDS, Leupold QD rings and repurposed Oceania Defence can and cyclone brake which is shared with my Tikka .308.

I'll be working up a load eventually using those Hornady Lever Evolution projectiles which let you use pointed bullets in tube magazines and get the CDS dial made up for the VX6 to match that load.

Well as some of you might have noticed I been upgrading a bit of gear and putting it all on a bit of a diet, Sako's turn for a birthday.
Can't wait to get out and shoot it next week

Here’s my latest built for me by Terminator products.
T3 action, bartlein 1in 8 24” barrel, chambered in 7-300WSM, T2 break, fluted bolt, extended mag, timney trigger, Ken Henderson carbon tactical stock, 20 MOA Talley rail.
Pushing out 175 ELDxs at 3080.
Load development all done thanks again to Terminator products.
Need to find a decent scope.

love it

I never thought I would have anything nice enough to add to this post, but i just recently bit the bullet and invested in a custom Ultra Lightweight rifle and I want to show it off haha.
Built on a Howa 1500 action in 7mm08, it has a pillar and glass bedded kevlar stock. Jewell trigger. The action has been lightened and skeletonized, the bolt fluted and skeletonized, Pac-Nor lightweight stainless steel National Match barrel, with a gunworks EBS supressor. The scope is a Zeiss Victory HT 2.5-10x50 BT all set to dial up to 400 yards. Its beautifully balanced, and a true delight to shoot. Now I also have some Leica Geovids I can make the most of whatever hunting situation i find myself in!

Very nice bit of kit. What does it weigh?

According to the website between 4 3/4 lbs and 5 3/4 lbs. Though the barrel was shortened and full barrel suppressor fitted in nz after it was imported, so that will change the weight. I don’t have scales to weigh unfortunately. I’m assuming that’s without scope attached

So finally after nearly 2 years I have my own rifle ready to go. I've borrowed rifles and been given an old model70. But this is something I've pieced together and brought/traded to build up over the past couple years. I'm sure guys with a young family know how hard that is as well. Nothing special at the end of the day, just a Tikka in latte 7-08 caliber. Mounted the scope in the weekend and sighted it in and it groups rem core lokts nicely at 100m. So for a bush pig I'm pretty happy with the set up. I know it shoots well so no excuses in the bush now, apart from not seeing any animals.

This photo was prior to the weekend. I've turned the rear ring and got my eye relief perfect. Would of liked a slightly lower ring.

Where did you buy the Huskemaw?

I got it from a friend and i think he got it from the states. For me as a new hunter not having looked through a lot of glass, lower end leupold's & vortex's mainly. This is really crisp and clear, I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes in lower light conditions under the canopy.

You done well to pick up on the brand of scope. i guess if you zoom in you can read it clearly on the side.

Nice and I can totally relate to the young family bit, dunno if you would get that scope any lower without the zoom ring hitting the action.
Looks good. You've got a keeper there that's for sure

You've got a fair point there @dannyb next time i get it out of the safe I'll have to look if i can get any extra room from the action or bolt. It's no biggy the difference is mm from a soft touch of my cheek to pressing firmly on my cheek bone.

My new toy, bought it today then straight round to DPT for one of their mini centrefire suppressors.
I'll be mounting a Loopy 2-7x33 on it this afternoon.
I needed something suppressed for using over the dog, and wasn't going to chop my Model 94 Trapper!
