As I’ve said previously “ not exactly porn “ but these two items have been a major contributor to my Wild Dog ( Dingo) hunting success.
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 .

I've got all the weights in my book over in my loading room but both are the same length and I think the 8 is 70grms heavier.
In the z6 you don't get as many options of zoom as they have dropped the 3.5-18 X50 which is a shame.
Also this z8 brand new (old price ) only cost me $500 more than the Z6 new price.

3rd new stock for the Howa 308win 1500 :D can't help some people :yaeh am not durnk:
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.

And the T3 308win goes bush with a 1-4x Steiner.
Thanks to the forum members (and ex member) who contributed.
Classy :thumbsup:
Nice. Sensable scope to have on a bush gun
A little bit of porn....
