Got my rings back from engineer today, got him to give them a hoozle up to fit 26mm tube scope and have my recently re-aquired (thanks @Mathias ) Nickel Supra 4x36 mounted loosely in them to see how it looks, quite happy :)
Will send them off to be anodised or powder coated gloss black again as they've turned gold after years of carry in the elements, have seen a few of these Parker Hale rings do this. Interesting when I had the action out of the stock today I noticed it has stamped under the barrel " C&B 1986" the barrel is a Douglas premium and has Douglas Premium Cal 243 stamped in the usual location so was obviously a rebarrel at some stage. Does the "C&B 1986" have any significance? Hopefully get some dies etc sorted this week and be able to shoot it. Might pick up some federal blue box (the test of any rifle..) tommorow and see how she goes

New to me. Pretty much mint, unfired Sako A1 Vixen .222 with lovely wood. This has been in my mates collection for a while and finally let it go.
A little safe love mark here but bore is mint and action smooth. This is my 4th vixen and without a doubt the best I have seen.
I had two guys try to buy it from me before I even left the store when collecting!

Ive just got a 300 RUM going.
I brought quite a nice semi custom rifle off here a while back now. Built on a new and trued up 700 action. Oversized recoil lug, Calvin Elite trigger, Hi-tec CF stock, T2 brake etc.
For the bits it had the price was very cheap, i didnt care for the chambering it was in and my plan was always to rebarrel it to 338 edge.
Thought id use it as it was for a bit, have some fun with it until the original barrel was done.
Long story short i could not get it to shoot, with either the original owners load or even doing my own load development. It got a little better after 3 days of almost non stop carbon cleaning. Holy shit did some carbon come out of it!
Still wouldnt shoot anywhere near good enough for a LR rifle, so off with the custom barrel and its now holding up a tomato plant.
A good bugger on here gave me a factory 700 300 RUM barrel that hadnt done much work and some brass.
So gave it all to my father in law to fit the barrel for me. Due to the oversized recoil lug and the trued up action ut wasnt just a matter of screwing on the 700 factory barrel, the headspace was obviously out.
So he had to put it in the lathe and take a bit off the shoulder by the tenon thread to get the headspace in spec.
It all came up good.
I loaded up a ladder with 210gr bergers and 2225 from 89gr to 94.5gr.
At the top load of 94.5gr i got the first tiny sign of excess pressure with a tiny click at the top of the bolt lift, with a velocity of 3,201 fps.
It really seems to like 92.5gr to 93.5gr for around 3,130 fps with 3 shots in one ragged hole.
My FIL ran a reamer thru the T2 brake to clearance it for 30 cal and the recoil is very tamn for a 7 lb rifle pushing a 210gr pill with 90+ gr of powder.
Looking forward to poking a 210gr into a deer at range now.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3209a4c3f2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...09fe5a1ec6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...99ebcd0e68.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a3af26ed9e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ad601ddfc5.jpg

My newest weapon,
Bergara B14 Extreme Hunter in 6.5PRC, with a Nightforce NX8 (4-32) on top and a DPT hanging off the end. I managed to grab two boxes of Norma factory ammo so I'll have to make it last. Looking forward to taking it to the range and seeing what it can do.

I'm sure that wind was just blowing those bullets into that one spot.....
I wouldn’t be overly concerned Tony, it looks to me like he missed by around an inch and a half. Out of interest was the wind blowing left to right?Quote:

@Mintie nice rifle, did you drill and tap the stock to get that picatinny to screw on? I am wanting something similar on a .22 I have that is a synthetic stock.Quote:
