Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

rings seem to be a bit high.... guess when the new stock shows up you can work on cheek welds / ring height

Probably cant get it much lower even though it's only 44mm objective the AO is quite bulky.
Could possibly go 5mm I'll have a look when it's out of the safe next, I do like to keep em as low as possible.

Here is my new toy.
Tikka T3x superlite 308
Fluted barrel shortened to 16inches
DPT Suppressor
Carbon fibre stock and bipod
Fluted bolt and carbon handle
All up scoped with bolt, mag, bipod and sling weighing just on 6.5lbs.
And it shoots well. 3 shots touching at 50mtrs

What carbon bolt knob did you use ?
Any chance of a pic of the bolt ?

Ive got a kind of similar Tikka 6.5x55 that is waiting for me to pick up from Kiwi Greg , but I won’t be back in NZ until September and the wait is killing me .
Im envious that you have yours already to play with .

Hey the bolt knob was one the gunsmith organized for me but think it is Tactical Works.
Thanks

A 300 RUM; all pretty much standard apart from the stug stock.

Not quite as fast as the one above. 210 Bergers doing 2965 shot the best.

Finally got my lithgow .22lr almost to where I want it.
I changed the trigger spring but still not down to 2lbs so will have to get someone who actually knows what they are doing!
So have got it threaded for an over barrel Dan can and a custom bolt knob and trigger spring kit.
I nearly buggered up the nightforce custom rail as had been looking on line and people were talking 55moa rails so decided to run with that.
I had an 5x20 shv but couldn't get it zeroed any closer than 60 yds with subs as only had 90ish internal, I ended up putting an nxs 5.5x22 x50 with zero stop on top with a nf bubble level.
I now can get a 50 m zero with a bit underneath and just checked the internal elevation at 102 moa with 20 in the reticle.
Some would say overkill, I say I could!
A big shout out to nightforce Australia for a bloody nice job on the rail and their awesome scope!
Just zeroed it with some hornady 40g roundnose running at 1070 on the box so will be in for a validation session as reasonably pleased with the cheapish ammo's performance.
Looking forward to some great plinking fun!

Nice set up on the 300WSM . What projectile are you running? What speed are you getting out of the 20"?

Was thinking similar but was unsure on running 20".
Cheers.
