Of course, what I call a flimsy unsealed locker is called a safe by some people
I have a couple of dedicated ammo safes but they aren't enough.

That's a work of art, given that rimfire's are the field guns that a lot of people use the most I don't understand why more people don't do things like thisQuote:

As some of you may know im quite a fan of the little Rem Model 7's, i do however have one Tikka, a M595 in 284 win which i love. I however have never owned a Tikka T3......until now.
A few months back i purchased @buzzman's near new T3 in 7mm08 that he'd already fitted the long action mag and bolt stop and had the barrel lopped back to 17", it was the perfect candidate for converting to a 284 SuperPig.
After receiving it i was keen to see if the barrel was a 'shooter' as it was as a 7mm08, so loaded up a handful of 140 NBT's at 1gr under max and seated the pills to where they 'looked' right and headed off to the range......

First two shots, @100

I then started playing around with a 284 case and a 162 Amax, these things were made for each other....

Attachment 56070
And the decision was made to send it away to Gunworks to get it re-chambered in 284 win. I got Robbie to use his reamer with a .316 neck and had it throated to suit the 162 seated out.
I just received the barreled action back today, and have it all back in one piece and bore sighted waiting to try some test rounds.
Attachment 56071
Even if i can only get the 162 Amax doing a max of 2750 (using standard powders, ive got some 7828ssc to try), it appears to still hold 1,000 ft lbs of energy to 850 yards, gotta love high BC bullets.
Hopefully it still shoots like it did.
How do you find the PST? Is it the 2.5-10x44?Quote:

Damn I was hoping you would say under 3"
Back to the drawing board!
Nice rig though, good use of a Tikka sized action
Yeah it makes sense I reckon, make the most of the case capacity. The 284 round at that length fits ands feeds out of the long action mag perfectly too.Quote:

Yeah for sure. My m595 was 708 rechambered to 284, 22.5" barrel. I can get 2900+ with 162 using 7828ssc.Quote:

My middle one does that to me all the bloody time. Purchasing on this forum is usually better all round as we have a family Trademe account which I have found perilous to purchase from (Land Rovers and guns).Quote:

Need any info on scope mounts our history gives a shout. :thumbsup:
My first centre fire was a CF2 in 243. Bitch of a thing, but only because I'm left handed. They must have the worst possible stock design to shoot left handed.Quote:
