Not really, I use a bipod for every shot my Son takes at an animal as he is not yet big enough and practiced enough to take shots at living things un aided, and yes those twangy springs do spook rabbits at 30y.Quote:

Had a Rem700 in 243 that shot really well. I felt like a change so had it rebarreled with 6mm Bradley Barrel in 1-8.
Chambered in 6mm Creedmoor in an Oryx Chassis and Timney trigger.
On top is a Delta Javelin 4.5-30x56.

Very nice
If only it could talk.
The latest incarnation of my Tikka T1x 22lr .

Brought this howa 7mm-08 off a mate last night I think he brought it not Realising it had a tighter than normal chamber and required reloading and wouldn’t take factory ammo
I brought it for the barreled action as I think the stock is a bit horrible feels nice but looks horrible and its a single shot in its current configuration ill put it in a walnut stock and reinstall a floor plate style mag
Barreled action is a heavy profile mab barrel (nfi what twist )
It’s 24 inch fluted
Has been modified to take a r700 trigger group just worked that out after buying it I thought it was just a older version of the howa trigger
Not sure if it’s a standard xmark or an after market have no experience with them but I know enough to know it’s rem 700 it breaks at like 1lb extremely good trigger
Will look awsome in the walnut stock I have for it just need to modify a bottom metal slightly so it fits the 700 trigger

Not a lot added here as I've still not made it home from Aus due to COVID but got a mate to throw the Greystone Suppressor on and take a photo.
1. The car is not mine (A very good mate is storing my rifle)
2. It's still minus the scope and un-shot by me in this config
A couple of 'new to me' 250savages.
1 a FN herstal and the other savage 99.
Both are 14 twist. Attachment 164116
@Pushover, very nice 👍
Are you able to post a pic of the other side of the rifles especially that lower one which takes my fancy
Attachment 164122
they're both well used 50s rifles though still look yo be in serviceable condition.
I'm going to start out with some 90gr hpbt to see how they shoot and maybe see how they go with a short 100gr.
Tetawa owned the FN a few owners ago and said he shot 80gr Barnes in it with good success
Scratches that 6 x 45 itch in a way for me

Just got this back from the gunsmith today
When I picked it up off a fallow member it looked like this Attachment 165873
The green goblin while actually nice to hold I couldn’t bear to look at it lol and it was single shot
Someone has put some money into it
Its a howa 1500 action fitted with a MAB barrel
The action has been modified to take a rem700 trigger
Which was quite the undertaking by the looks
They had to lengthen the slot slightly drill and tap for Retention screws mill pin slots
Then they had to modify the cocking peice on the bolt to remington profile (no longer cocks on a factory howa trigger)
Jewel trigger fitted
Work i had done to get it finished included modifying a bottom metal as the rem700 trigger is taller and was contacting
The rifle had a .311 neck chamber which required neck turner (can’t be bothered with that) so I sent it to Gunworks and had them put there sammi reamer down it just to chase out the neck
Come out awsome
We will see how it shoots but my gut says with a mab barrel and a jewel trigger it will go awsome
Black Beauty needs a home soon, but for now he belongs here.

Only tested out to 430m but it was pretty good fun hearing good hits on the gongs.

Good looking shooter, what's the rail and ring spec?
Badger 34mm rings. Can’t remember if they’re low or medium. I’m gonna say medium and the rail is the 0 MOA from Greystone.
I have an EGW 20moa rail with recoil lug and an alternative mag release but I kinda lost me nerve a little and didn’t pack them.
I’ll bring them in next time when I have no scopes and rings in the baggage 😂
Pretty happy with the rig. It’s accurate and is comfortable to shoot. The scope is excellent too.
T3 7 mag got a make over
7mm Saum 20" Trueflite ultra match fluted
Zeiss HD5 3-15x42 target turrets

My new 7mm rem mag proof research. Was looking at Christiansen arms but i got offered this for the same price. First hunt it scored a stag. Shoots great with factory sako ammo. Nice and lite. Action really smooth. Trigger is crisp.
Called into see my bud Ben @ GunCity in the Tron on Friday, came home with this
Ruger Custom shop competition 10-22, It may look odd, but fuk me it's the best fitting rimfire I've ever handled, has a decent long LOP for a start, mounted a 3- 15 firedot VX5 can't wait to shoot it & will post up a range report - review when done

Israeli soldiers training with the Karabiner 98k in 1954.
Israeli Mauser Karabiner 98k (7.62×51mm NATO)
A number of non-European nations used the Mauser Karabiner 98k rifle as well as a few guerrilla organizations in conflicts to establish new nation-states. Israel issued Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles from the late 1940s until the 1970s, which are today sought after by collectors. Many were acquired under Operation Balak.[53]
Many Jewish organizations in Palestine acquired them from post–World War II Europe to protect various Jewish settlements from Arab attack as well as to carry out guerrilla operations against British Army forces in Palestine.
The Haganah, which later evolved into the modern-day Israel Defense Forces, was one of the Jewish armed groups in Palestine that brought large numbers of Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles and other surplus arms (namely the British Lee–Enfield bolt-action rifle, which was used on a large scale by these groups) and the Mosin–Nagant from Europe after World War II. Many, though not all, Israeli-used German surplus Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles have had their Nazi Waffenamt markings and emblems stamped over with Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Hebrew arsenal markings.
As the Arab-Israeli conflict approached, the Haganah and other Jewish forces in Palestine tried to get hold of as many weapons as they could in the face of an arms embargo by British colonial authorities. One of the most important purchases was a secret January 14, 1948, $12,280,000 worth contract with Czechoslovak Government including 4,500 P-18 rifles, as well as 50,400,000 rounds of ammunition. Later, the newly established Israel Defense Forces ordered more Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles, produced this time by Fabrique Nationale.[46] These have Israeli and Belgian markings on the rifle as well as the emblem of the IDF on the top of the rifle's receiver. The FN-made Karabiner 98k rifles with the IDF markings and emblem on the rifle were produced and sold to Israel after it established itself as an independent nation in 1948. At some point, Israel converted all other Mauser 98-pattern rifles in their inventory (most commonly Czechoslovak vz. 24 rifles, but small numbers of contract Mausers from sources ranging from Ethiopia to Mexico were also known to have come into Israeli hands) to the now standardized Karabiner 98k configuration. The original receiver markings of these conversions were not altered, making it easy for collectors to identify their origin. The Israeli Karabiner 98k utilized the same bayonet design as in German service, with a barrel ring added.[citation needed] Swedish Gevär m/40 rifles were converted to the 7.92 Mauser round.[54] The Israeli bayonets were a mix of converted German production and domestically produced examples.
During the late 1950s, the IDF converted the calibre of their Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles from the original German 7.92×57mm Mauser round to 7.62×51mm NATO following the adoption of the FN FAL rifle as their primary rifle in 1958.[55] The Israeli Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles that were converted have "7.62" engraved on the rifle receiver. Rifles with original German stocks have "7.62" burned into the heel of the rifle stock for identification and to separate the 7.62 NATO rifles from the original 7.92 mm versions of the weapon still in service or held in reserve. Some Karabiner 98k rifles were fitted with new, unnumbered beech stocks of recent manufacture, while others retained their original furniture. All of these converted rifles were proof-fired for service. The IDF employed a 22 mm rifle grenade adapter for the Mauser K98k rifle.[56]
The Karabiner 98k rifle was used by the reserve branches of the IDF well into the 1960s and 1970s and saw action in the hands of various support and line-of-communications troops during the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Arab-Israeli War.[55] After the rifle was retired from reserve military service, the Israeli Mauser Karabiner 98k was given to a number of third-world nations as military aid by Israel during the 1970s and 1980s, and sold as ex-military surplus on the open market, with many Israeli Mausers being exported to Australia (the Israeli Mauser is the most predominant variant of the Mauser Kar98k rifle on the Australian surplus firearms market today) and North America during the 1970s and 1980s. The Israeli Mausers provided to third world armies began to be exported for civilian sale, and tend to be in significantly worse condition than those sold directly out of Israeli storage.
