Recent addition CZ 452 Varmint. Bought a couple of months ago from Hamilton and thanks to mates it made it down last Friday.
Whilst in care, @Friwi performed his magic & cut barrel to 16" & M18 thread. Fitted with DPT 3 baffle, it shoots like a dream on run of the mill CCI subs. 50m 5 shot group, with a tail wind to boot.

hahaha already ontop of it, 3 of us shoot rl26, so thats divided between us!
Bucket list rifle for me, new Sako 90 Hunter Stainless in .308 at a sharp price from the guys at Wilson’s Sports in Whanganui.
Really impressed with the overall fit and finish and if it shoots as good as it looks I’ll be as happy as a pig in the proverbial

I had to engineer some Talley rings for it and has a wee Leupold 2-7x33 on it. It's almost comical how light it is.

My wife has just bought one in 7mm08. So far at 100y it is shooting 0.9" with 154gr SSTs and 1.2" with 150gr ballistic tips.
Observations so far is that the stock needs bedding and the trigger could do with some work (it's currently just over 3 pound).
It's an absolute dream to carry in the bush!
Only shot it with Fed Blue Box disregard group on left its from my 243Quote:

Initial sighting in of the SA22 was halted by next year's steaks deciding they needed to eat right behind target...but pretty happy with grouping so farAttachment 230273Attachment 230274Attachment 230274

BERGARA 6.5 PRC, ARKEN SCOPE EPL4. Really happy with this rifle, enjoying hand loading with ADG Brass and Berger projectiles.
I was finally able to get the latest addition out for a play today.
Sauer Fieldshoot 6.5CM, Hardy’s suppressor and Meopta Meosport scope. (Laminated rifle beside the .223 Sauer)
The rifle is an absolute dream to shoot! The scope is incredible value for the money too!
Now it’s run in and I’ve found what it likes to eat (5 shot groups in the photo), I’m keen to stretch its legs out as far as we can go!

Sauer 404 XT Classic chambered in 270 win with a Zeiss V8 2.8-20x56. Using 130gr Hornady GMX Outfitter which gets me around .7 MOA at 100m.
That is the Sauer 404 case made by Negrini for travel which is airline approved. Weighs 2.5kg
Nice package. And awesome chital skin. Perfect for mats as they are one of the only deer species without hollow hair. ( doesn’t break when walked on. )Quote:

Cheers mate! I am really stoked with it and the way it comes up and feels. Trigger and bolt are butter smooth.Quote:

I came to Sauer from a long time being a Sako fan. Both me and dad had Sako Bavarian's but sold them and got the 404. In my opinion the 404 is quite superior, that some hunters prefer them over Blaser who are quite similar. You can adjust the trigger pull weight to 550 g (1.2 lbs), 750 g (1.7 lbs), 1000 g (2.2 lbs) and 1250 g (2.7 lbs) , it's a modular system so you can just buy more barrels and bolt heads and you got yourself a new rifle , the tool to take down the rifle is on the forend where the sling attachment is, Breaks down to nothing when travelling if you use the sauer case or even the smaller pelican cases ( 1700 ) , i mainly bought it because of the safety and having the manual cocking system is the safest on the market , you can adjust your trigge blade to left or right or can move it forward or backwards to suit your length of pull. It returns to zero when you remove your scope which is another bonus. Lot of manufactures who make mounts for the 404 ( Do not get the Sauer SUM , Innomount is superior to them and what we use on both of our 404's ) . https://www.optics-trade.eu/au/mount...04-mounts.html Any mounts i need i always use these guys, 4 day shipping to australia.
You will not be dissapointed with a 404, i have used blasers , they are nice but i love my 404. Downside with the 404 is that caliber selection is not as good as with blaser and the scope is mounted on the receiver and not on the barrel, like blasers if you want a steel receiver you got to pay extra but the 404 has the 8x68 S, 10,3x68 Mag., 10,3x60R, .375 H&H Mag all in Aviation-grade high-alloy aluminum receiver so i would say they would be safe to use unless you pay extra for the steep receiver.
Apologies to everyone on here for a long post hahaha

An older Rossi single shot take-down .308, Burris scope 3-9x40 and MTN mountain bipod fitted today.
Scope looks a long way above the comb? What's it like to shoot prone?
I manage ok with it so far, have to have it there to clear the hammer.
It’s a far cry from what I set out to do when putting this together intentions were vx3hd 2-10ish VX5hd 3-15 at the most and no can but it was a noisy dog and I dropped a friends brand new can so needed to replace that any how a classic with a modern twist much more grabable from the safe now being suppressed I did cry dropping it into Wilson’s to be sent to DPT and I did cry while drilling holes in the stock for the MTN bipod rail but we have moved passed that another top notch job from DPT and service from Wilson’s dropped it off Tuesday 9 am had a message from Jason at 11am today saying it was back unreal @Friwi
