Sako All Varmint ( classic Old School wood & steel ) . . in time it will be rebarrelled in 6BR . . . thats the plan



couldnt help myself had to load up a few rounds to have a play, had half a dozen 130 SPT Hornadys that i threw together with 44.0grns 2206H . . . 3 rounds to get on target, 3 for a group . . . it would seem to be a shooter, but a .308 is no good to me for Varminting, pity.

Gun Porn? OK, how about this for dirty pics? I have long loved the Brno ZKM611 and lucked onto this one a few weeks ago.
Apparently quite rare engraved and nickel plated.

Got this new on Thursday, HOWA Mini in .223 with a DPT & Bushnell elite 4-12, left hand group showed a bit of vertical ended up free floating it the results were the bottom 3 shots which was a lot better, this was the 69grn Sierra outback stuff, switched over to the cheap belmont 55grn lapua soft point and holy shit it kept snacking them into a ragged hole.
My 1st Howa is a keeper.

that Belmont 55g sp is hard to beat I've had a great run out of it, shoots consistently. where are you sourcing it outta curiosity ? I was buying it from gunworks but they are having trouble getting it at the moment and I'm nearly out

@dannyb I got it from bronco sports tauranga. Have you used it on goats/deer, did it go alright?

yes and yes
took a fallow at 200yds bang flop
took multiple goats from 150 - 275yds all easily dead with engine room shots

I'm going buy a lot more of that Belmont!

Just buy it direct from whanganui via mail order.

Once my Barnaul runs out I'll try it in my ar15.

I load that bullet in my 223 and it's a good deer/goat bullet, have used the Belmont stuff years back and it chrono at just about 3000 fps ( 2922 fps), just about the same as my handloads. Good bullet which is hard to beat for the price.

My new Sauer 100xt Cerakote .308 topped with a Zeiss terrace scope.
Shoots beautifully, so easy to handle.
The scope has nice clear glass.
Only sighted it in, yet to take it for a proper walk.
Might need to go for a walk up the Rangitata.
