They are a massive scope, but the premier 5-25 heritage series, which this replaces, is probably the best scope I’ve shot long range with

New toy....
1986 Remington 700 243 + Swarovski Habicht 3-9 x 36
This whole setup costed me exactly $1000 including the rings so pretty happy with that.
Not a super lightweight, but beautifully balanced and easy to handle.
Very keen to try it out on the open tops in the Kaimanawa.

Nice! One of the original Otago Mounted Rifles issue. They got them way before the regular NZ Army did.Quote:

The scope is quality. A steal at 1K!

A humble K31 to replace the SG 550 that was confiscated. According to Wiki the serial number indicates it being made of walnut. Opened the stock, there was no ownership detail unfortunately.
Just quietly, if anyone has any 7,5x55mm for sale please PM me. :)
Tikka action, bartlein barrell, 6.5prc. Mdt tac21 chassis, dot suppressor, rugged river carbon bipod, magpul sling, Burris 1 price rail, pulsar theremin xp50.... I'm in love.

Nothing new about this ole rifle ,one of first Ruger M77s .243 bought must have been 1979-80, been sitting neglected in the safe for many years, but had a lot of use in the day.
I remember it suddenly started spraying shots all over the place like 3 or 4 inches at a hundred yds so stopped using it.
Recently i pulled it out wondering what to do with it, gave the bore a bloody good scrub and thought the bore doesnt look toooo!!! bad haha,and so wondered if the crown had been damaged.
I had an inch cut off the barrel and re crowned and using some Federal blue box 100gr ammo i was very pleased to see a group of around 1.5 inches at hundred mtrs, certainly good enough for point and shoot hunting. Scope is a similar vintage Leupold vari x II 2-7 .
So now i am keen to take the ole girl out and bag a deer with her. Cheers
Nice
Picked this up this morning

Feels like it has been worked on, the trigger is almost too light.
Very nice they are very accurate aswellQuote:

I do miss it though
Finally retrieved my 3-12x42 Weaver Grand Slam from Auckland Customs, since it arrived from Brownells in June 2019!
Took me multiple trips to the local Arms office, multiple trips to Auckland Customs, and multiple emails to the Head Arms Office in Wellington.
The glass is as clear as my Zeiss Conquest MC and Swarovski Habicht. Ergonomics and adjustments feel precise and clean.
Now I just need to find a 6.5x55 for it to sit on. :cool:

Lockdown has provided an opportunity to relax and get back to some fun stuff. I’m lucky to have a range, lathe and barrels under the bench.
Had these two out yesterday. Both R700 ti actions and McMillan A3 stocks. Short is 6.5 PRC, Hardy Carbon at 24 inches, and long is 7-300 wm, hardy at 27 inches.Attachment 136593
Will get a bush pig done and a pic of a couple more up later. Cheers
Lockdown has been a great opportunity to get onto some projects. Here is a Sako 75 .243 that I picked up cheap a few months back. The floor plate was worn with surface rust, the bolt looked like it had never been cleaned and the stock had been refinished in a semi-gloss poly for some unknown reason.
Now I just need to get some new rings and I can mount the scope :)

There's no better feeling then when you've restored a gun and it turns out mint. Nice job.
Love the floating scope. :P
