Nice X-Bolt!
I sold a couple of those in Canada when they first came out. Real nice looking. Was very tempted to get one myself.

Nice X-Bolt!
I sold a couple of those in Canada when they first came out. Real nice looking. Was very tempted to get one myself.
Thanks Scouser, I just bought a section in Invercargill and plan to be back living in NZ (after 30 years) full time from mid 2015 so I may be looking for some "mountaineering hunter" mates to explore the Southern Alps if you are keen.
Are you from the Blue half or Red half of Liverpool ?
Weight as pictured 3.536 kg - on the kitchen scales - empty magazine
Heres the new go to rifle, after having built a few done as varmiters was time to do a lighter one.
To sort of bring the hunting back into the shooting, was getting over the range, dial boom wander over and retreive, dont get me wrong its a cool feeling knowing it all works well as a system.
But now time to down size and stalk in more for better photos as i shoot way more with camera now then with the gun.
Anyway...........
Remington 700 s/a base, trued, shimmed bolt and tac bolt handle, straight fluted bolt, lightweight firing pin assembly
(To be replaced in few weeks ;) )
Jewel trigger with no saftey set at 1lbs
Senator 75 carbon stock, duracoated desert tan
Bartlein 1.8", 24" carbon wrapped barrel chambered in 6mm x 47 Lapua throated to suit 105gr a-max
Carbon over size can so it just farts @ 282grams
March 2.5-25x42 tac with duplex reticle
Tally rings lapped and pinned
Its a nice 3059grams with can ready to go, will drop bit in the action change but its nice and well ballanced also
Still makes pointing and shooting easy but its nice and user friendly

Quite seriously good.
This one is 6mm x 47Lapua but the 6.5 normal version goes well
With the brass price come down a lot its looking even better

Trade ins are welcome, and do payment options also :)Quote:

Pretty impressive group @ 400yrds for a dedicated hunting bullet there Abe. Would be well under MOA for that one bugger out the right.
You should be nutting out the best way to fit a rail for the chiller, not playing with ammo:D
Perfect actuallyQuote:

You know my maffs is shit!
Like I can't count how many snapper were caught this past weekend.
I am stuck on 1 for some reason!

OK so I got a little carried away - Howa in .308 and a Marlin .22
Not as exciting as some on this thread but they are my first so I am happy!
Now to see if I can remember how to shoot given that its 18 years since my time at Bisley....
