    Thanks guys, yeah it did come up nicely.

    I already have more confidence in this than I had with my X-Bolt with the wonky barrel. The guys (and gals) at Gunworks did a great job on the break and bolt.

    Its suprising how much the 3 port brake reduces the recoil, I could shoot it all day...which is exactly what I did all Saturday

    Its bloody nice. A little bit more weight than the factory stock but its rigid as hell and nice to shoulder, the Pacmyer (sp) recoil pad is a nice added touch. Overall weight is still really good and the is balance nice for carrying.

    Also helps to seperate it from my other Tikka, same with the fluted bolt.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    +1!

    And Angus, I don't know where you propose to shoot said 10/22 (other than the range) so if you actually have a bunny spot around here, hook a brother up!!!!
    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt

    Angus they are a good rifle .. but unless you have some land to blast some bunny's on the only other place to use it would be a range...

    Ill see if i can arrange some time on my mates farm and get you along, more than welcome to have a shoot with what I use (im not as rich as the rest of the members and only use a tikka or the .22)

    But that way you can start learning afew things before you go spending hard earned money...
