Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

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).

Nice! Awesome present to yourself! Also, welcome to the forum

Nice rig GRS300 and welcome to our forum.

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.

Fn nice man!

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.

Until then my Tikka will do

Gidday Bevan. Yes, being primarily a bush hunter it suits me fine. Mind you, that Bavarian of yours is pretty sweet too.

Tikka's are good rifles and they all seem to shoot well.

Brand name,or whatever I reckon all rifles are bloody good.It comes down to the person squeezing the trigger.

I've owned a few, some were definitely not bloody good!

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