Because you are using a 222/223 which as everyone knows never needs more than 1 shot or was that the 257 Weatherby?

I like your style. I have a soft spot for lever actions in .44 or higher [emoji7]

Any indication on cost @john m ?

So is bow hunting any less valid a means of hunting (especially in the follow up shot scenario) in your view ?

There are more disadvantages to a single shot than a repeater would be the correct way of putting it. No one needs reasons to select what firearm they choose to hunt with though, Gimp is just being an ass:)

Don't be silly, everything is valid apart from having a single shot that is meant to function with a mag.

Timmay RRP $1590 too much for me. I made an offer below that and it came home.

It's in the rifle, but is plastic so can't be modified to accept Saum rounds. Gunsmith ordered a metal mag over a month ago, but hasn't shown up yet. hopefully soon!

Well not new as I bought it some 14 years back.

A near mint condition BRNO 581 Auto .22LR manufactured in 1959. It's quite accurate and is beautifully made.

Those BRNO's were always nice to look at.

Some people are not aware that the Bren Gun of WWII fame and latter conflicts was made up of a Brno action and Enfield barrel. The name Bren was derived from Brno and Enfield.

Barefoot. How did your Savage 6.5 Creed shoot in the end? Happy with it?
Thanks

I've only fired a few shoots with it then it went back in the cupboard as the scope mounts seemed to be putting pressure on the scope.
It's at DPT's getting threaded and suppressed then I will give it a good workout and report back.
I've been having fun with the trapdoor 45/70 instead. I tell you the goats don't go far with a hole that size in them. Need to get a deer with it though.

Sure is but was told I'm not aloud to share it, much like what the Mrs tells me with my other stumpy single shot.

Oh come on Nibblet surely you will let me have a play. Not with the stumpy one shot either in case you were getting excited.

Sako 7mm08 'build'

Sako AII receiver supplied by Bronson via Shootm (forum members), Sako 7mm08 barrel, Sako L579 stock. Re-bluing by Allen Carr, gunsmithing by Arthur Cleland and glass-bedding by Kevin Gaskill. Topped off with a Leupold VX3 2.5 - 8 x 36 and a DPT modular suppressor. It shoots well (9mm 3 shot group using Nosler 140gr BT in front of 42.5gr AR2208). No reds or fallow yet just a whole lot of goats!

Thank you to Bronson (and NZH&S).

Sako 85 Black Bear .308. Swarovski Z6 1.7-10X42 in Optilock rings. Bought this rifle in January because I liked it's lightness and the balance. It shoots under .5 MOA with almost everything I've tried. Has quite a heavy profile 20" fluted barrel.
Here is a quick 100m 3 shot group I shot this morning trying out the Hornady 150 SST from three projectiles a mate gave me to try. Shoots the Barnes 130gr TTSX even better. Then I only tried the one load with the SST's and they may do better with a different load or powder etc. Anyway, worth investigating further.

Very nice. Had a look at one at the Tahr Show. Probably the only Sako on the rack I would say was worth the coin.

And even nicer in the flesh, eh Matt? Really light, a great little bush rifle straight out of the box.

One of these days I will stomach the price required for these beautiful rifles.

So based on that rationale Dundee all woman are good, it just depends on how you squeeze them.

True, but one day I will have in my safe something like a CZ 550/Kahles scope or a Sako 6.5x55/Swarovski

Something worthy of handing down.

Maybe, for me handing down respect for the game and the tools is more important. Having a flash/expensive rifle doesn't equate to much for me. Imo of course.
