Barrel makers love it as well :-)
Very nice @Pongo12 where did you source the scope from and how much?
Haha yes barrel will be good to approx 1000 rnds. The scope is through a mate of mine, they retail approx $4500 but I got mine for cost price
Lucky you...they look a good scope
yea id highly recommend one, 2.8 power for bush and 20 power for distance makes them very versatile
$3k-$3.5k tops for me with a scope....
mmmm..... hardcase, I was just about to have a play on my range here. 2 shots in and I broke the reticle on the v8.... not ideal
new one sitting in shop for me to pick up in the morning, will see if it lasts...
That seems freakish...not read of it elsewhere...?
very much so, a dud perhaps? zeiss are usually pretty tough aye. see how the next one goes i suppose
Keep us updated.
What about Schmitt and bender? US optics? Vortex? And that new brand, tangent theta?
Bought a new S&B PM2 never looked back.... expensive as fark bit well worth the two years of saving hard
US Optics are seem very good
I have recently upgraded from a 1-6 swavo to a uso 1-8,, have yet to have chance to use it :(
@Danny
I collected my M595 from Andrew (7mmsaum) last night, here's a quick pic of it all finished and bedded into the McMillian Sako Hunter stock, to say i'm stoked with the way its come up is an understatement! The quality of Andrew's bedding job and the fit and finish he has achieved is outstanding, and he turned it around in under a week! Looking forward to getting it out on the hill now.

So scored this off von tempsky. Rem700 long range XCR. With the 215 berger @2920fps she's sure rings the gongs. Managed first round hits out too 600 after a quick sight in. Pretty stoked. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...e39c45face.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...3c99dad069.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...6966fe3980.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...f6c6f23864.jpg

@GWH how long is the barrel? Have you fired it yet?
What projectiles will you use?
1000 questions.
@Danny,
Its 22.5", Havnt fired it yet in the new stock, but it shot very well in the bedded factory synthetic stock. It shoots the 150gr NBT extremely well at 2970fps. Have only fired one ladder test with the 162 Amax so far, got it up over 2900 fps, but the 150 NBT was just so accurate i will likely stay with that.
I purchased the rifle from Kimjon, he exclusively used the 150 NBT for near and far apparently and had good success with it, so cant see any reason to change from it.
Im hoping to get out and recheck the zero in the new stock tomorrow, then will stretch it out to validate drops shooting gongs on the weekend, then it will have a date with a Sika up the Kawekas very shortly.
@GWH one can't argue with that mate...[emoji106]
Nice.

thanks Tentman for sorting it for me!
As in how cheap
900 for rifle, could a got a bunch of other riffles. chose this, i like the magazine, its threaded already. i like the stocks- yes i LIKE the stocks, they're a handle after all.trigger is actually good. the recoil pad is good. comes with a rail . there is not much i don't like, actually i cannot list anything, for my purposes and use.(maybe woulda liked stainless) . ive had two americans before, 308 and 243, both shot as good if not better than the other rifles I've had.
Love these shooters.
oh and theyre really light.
A few new shooters-
1970's M700, 308 with Manners EH3, Redfield RevTac.

NHM90 converted to E-cat, made the rear stock out of walnut (slightly larger than China) threw an SKS buttplate on it, grip is airsoft AK74 with some easy mods. Ncstar Ak74 muzzlebrake is surprisingly effective. Rear sling swivel is part braz Mauser/m305 bits.

1951 Mod 70 Winny in 30-06. Barrel is a bit knackered so will be a future project. Maybe change it to a 9.3x62...

Go the 9.3x62!!
