I just sent an email off to order an adjustable aperture rear eye piece which should make it more useable for hunting for me :)
yep that balistol oil is wonderful stuff I clean the gun and that stuff removes any left over traces of salt and preserves the rifle wonderfully wont use anything else on smokeless or black powder guns its the best oil
Great job bro!Quote:

Currently throwing 110 TTSX's out at a lazy 2730fps (lol) but @ 0.4" group. Had to sell 2 rifles and a scope to get this one.
Nice rifle Timmay. Shot a deer with the new load? How long is the barrel?
Thanks mate, Went for a walk yesterday morning but didn't see anything - was sleeting so I'm not really surprised - Barrel is 19". I've smacked over plenty of deer (20+) with a slower load in my 6.5x55 so have no concerns with its ability to kill.Quote:

If you sell, I'll buy.Quote:

These TTSX's will open down to 1800fps so "good" to 300m - In reality it won't see any action past 50m.
This rifle is way nicer than my Tikka haha
Sounds like red dot distance, could save some more weightQuote:

Throw in the super bloody nice stock which is slim and fitting + has a cheek piece and I was sold - I also think the black receiver and stainless barrel is sexy.
Careful, some people around here will want to lynch you for suggesting anything could be better than a Tikka!Quote:

Well a couple of weeks ago I fell into some cash as a mate had spotted a couple of fishing poles of mine that he wanted to look after at his place...
As happens the cash pretty soon fell out of my pocket and was replaced by a Volquartsen 22 in my safe... Pretty nice although everyone keeps saying I've gone over to the darkside now.... whatever that means??
Anyhow very happy will be flicking on the glass as I pull the Vortex off the Tikka and the great optic swap begins again...
And Two weeks later @BRADS puts up a spanking good 260 for sale.... arrrghh obviously I need to check in with him every time I go to buy something..
here's a wee shot

A braked 22, Toby will be proud
Was wondering when that would make an appearance :) and it shoots as good as it looks as well
Thanks Mac - being in Auckland it's probably a bit more practical that yet another centrefire. Was a bit of a steal really was going to buy it just for the B&C odyssey stock - the rest was bonus, but a very nice one now to bed it put a rear tang on and replace the 2lb volquartsen trigger for a Kidd. 2 stage - Then if the test boxes I've put through it are any guide it should be a even tighter ragged single hole.Quote:

At your place Hamish, real wood is getting to be just a poor imitation of plastic :)
