It has a big enough bore. If the deer was within 50 feet it would either die of fright, get a bloody good headache, or die of lead poisoning. :thumbsup:Quote:

Nice....EH6 or EH8 Ryan? I'm guessing EH8 looking at the pistol grip angle.
EH8. Nice stock, comes up very nice and has nice lines, was a bit worried the bergara bottom metal wouldn't fit (stock is inletted for generic rem700/defiance etc clones) but all fits like a glove. Will shoot it this arvo and decide if it's worth bedding or notQuote:

And it shoots goodQuote:

My "Cheap build with a simple point and shoot scope" has gotten a little bit out of hand. Bergara B14 Extreme in a Manners EH8, Talleys and Swaro Z5, Javelin bipod. Shoots the good old blue box stuff into tiny little groups and just starting to load develop with 155 Amax

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 :pacman:
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.

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?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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!

What calibre?
This is the new mini over barrel modular for rifles like Bergara ,and howa 300 blackout on mini action , when not much of the barrel is sticking out of the fore end (95mm). They are rated for no bigger cartridge than 308.
308, 16.5 inch barrel. I have a Brno 308 with 24 inch barrel but I wasn't going to chop that either. COAL to lands is virtually identical for both rifles so that's a bonus, but cases fired in the Brno and neck sized won't fit in the Bergara so the FL die will get some use. I'll probably use different case brands for each rifle.Quote:

Check the bolts on the scope rail tho, mine came loose after 30 rounds today.
I like it so far though, farkall to it really so there cant be much that can go wrong with it.
Insanely light trigger, i need much more practice with it to bring those groups in tighter @ 100m
Its same as yours cept with a longer over barrel DPT suppressor and a nightforce 1- 4 of my dead 3 hundy BO
Be dealing death to goats or punching holes in paper 1 shot at a time, cause semis are too evil aye.........
Gona come up with a belt or stock pouch to hold the 308 rounds in a way that hopefully makes it easier/faster to load
I tightened them before mounting the scope but will keep an eye on them and epoxy the rail if needed.Quote:
