Hopefully I’ve attached a photo this time. (Learner poster)
Had a case for a while, rain day so cut slots with a hot screwdriver, not very well,(stock and barrel without sights) bought a electric soldering gun with hot knife for the tip, did a better job on the scope and upper barrel, but runs too cold and difficult to keep going, might get another foam and try again sometime.
But K95 with 3 barrels and 3 scopes.

I’m undecided if it’s going to be a lightish weight hunter in which case il get a z5 for it and keep the carbon stock or flick the carbon stock for a heavy chassis rig (had a small heart attack at the price of chassis so unlikely) with an element helix or just a longs range varminter goat slaying fallow bowling beast in the factory stock without worrying about weight which is the most likely scenario either way it’s a little pocket rocket shooting 80gn eldm 3175fps or 69gn targex at 3300 first tests with 80 eldm printed half moa with no effort rapidly fired at that. I have seating depth tests loaded but visitors have being none stop today tikka t3 22-204R.
Nice...very nice [emoji108]Quote:

It’s a Stug that iv ticketed up and refinished mate
Well done , looks professional like a manners paint job
This is not exactly “Porn “ , but I thought I’d throw it into the mix .
This is my Australian Pig Rifle .
The whole idea was to keep it simple and as Factory as possible will still achieving the desired attributes that a normal Factory T3x Lite doesn’t offer .
In OZ Tikka offers what they call a “ Wild Boar “ model which consists of a Super Lite barrel / action in a CTR stock ( .223/.308 only ) . This offers a manageable weight with the larger magazine capacity ( 10 rounds ) of the CTR .
I already had a T3x in 6.5 CM which is a Factory offering of 20 inch threaded sporter / Lite barrel and the bigger bolt knob .
While perusing an online firearms site I spied a CTR stock / bottom metal / magazine for a stupidly low price and jumped on it immediately.
So with minimal effort I had myself a “ Wild Boar “ in 6.5CM .
The only non Factory components are a limbsaver pad and a muzzle brake ( which turns the already low recoil into a .223 or even less ) and a lighter trigger spring .
The whole idea of the larger mag capacity is for mobs of Pigs in open country and that in combination with the muzzle brake means very quick target acquisition between shots at running animals.
The Zeiss scope turned down to 3 power is ideal and gives the option to crank it up to 12 power if a longer precise shot is required.
Even though it’s my Pig gun it will be used in a few weeks for a Chital Deer hunt I have organised and even though the extra capacity won’t be needed there I’m not going to change what isn’t broken, by putting it back into its original Stock .
All up it weighs a fraction over 9 pounds with bolt/ mag /bipod and is a pleasure to shoot and carry .
The photo of the target was from yesterday’s load development of some 129SST Hornady projectiles which I want to use on the Chital .

I use a craft knife fully extended and keep heating that up red hot with a butane torch, cuts through it very cleanly and quickly.Quote:

Nothing flash or clever here. Tikka .308 16" barrel. DPT suppressor and Leupold VX2 scope that was previously on my rimfire for many years. Immediately after zeroing, shot two goats and was shooting well to 200m over the course of four days.

Nice little 28ga, Hugo SXS, first round off skeet, got the first 7, ended up with 18 or 19 on a very windy blustery day, so very happy about that. ammo kinda expensive, but i can reload the hulls, as mate has a press.
5lbs light and nimble little gun, $1450 CAD, been looking at them online for a year or so, only took 30 sec to make up my mind after handling it,

Mikee, they are the same as the CZ shotguns, Hugo makes the CZ shotgun line, maybe you can get them in NZ., Prophet river Firearms, in Canada will likely export one, if your are interested, I know of 2 rifles into NZ from them.Quote:

For the money, I am extremely happy, it a 6lb gun, I see a typo above.
Is it a sidelock, or a sideplated boxlock?Quote:

@Philipo ; Nx8 is settling in well , I’ve had the big Nx8 for a few years now and it’s awesome on the Waypoint Prc.
The receivers are shutting the doors at trev terry marine nationwide and I picked up the little waypoint in 308 for a bargain and the little Nx8 fits perfectly. That’s a five shot Sako gamehead 150gr group doing 2770 with now a box through it . Happy days

The rifle is a Grandpa’s Axe , it’s an old Tikka T3 .223 rebarrelled to 6x45 ( 6mm 223 ) that sits in a Tikka Super Varmint Stock and wears a Meopta Meostar 3x10 R1 scope , which is the best low light / Spotlight Scope I’ve found so far , but will soon be replaced with a Leupold VX6 2-12x42 CDS Fire Dot ( the illuminated reticle hopefully will be an advantage) , time will tell if it’s a step up or not .
The rifle sends 85gn projectiles downrange at 2865fps ( Waters Magazine so that I can load out long to maximise powder etc ) and shoots 1/2 moa out to 250 M ( self imposed limit when shooting at night ) , this in combination with an electronic Predator caller and an oversized Bull Terrier Bitch ( she comes from a line that was Breed for this purpose, and although she looks 100% Bull Terrier there is other stuff in her , she is Big and fast ) that has a hatred of all things “ Wild Dog “ all come together to make an awesome team .

Also this z8 brand new (old price ) only cost me $500 more than the Z6 new price.

HS precision, super nice stock to shoot straight comb, just feels right. My only criticism would be the recoil pad is a bit hard (wasn't an issue shooting stout 165gn loads but it might be in bigger Cals.)
Looking pretty swish :cool:

HS make a good stock and the dimensions on their classic style are spot on. I’ve got 3 of them. Agree with DannyB re the recoil pads are designed for longevity, a bit hard.
