    You’re a silly old geezer Maca, putting them head to toe so they can get a bit of 69 lever action.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    A really nice breeding pair, that new stud gun really looks the part. Baby double rifles in 3 years time no doubt.

    lost patience waiting on a solution for the 6.5PRC mag issue so hopefully put things beyond doubt with a tikka rem mag.

    Something not seen every day I thought I would share. Not a new toy, somewhere circa late 1600's - early 1700's Queen Anne style canon barrel flintlock.

    Sorry, a bit out of focus, will take a better shot one day of the silver inlay.

    Hope you enjoy something a little different.

    It has a big enough bore. If the deer was within 50 feet it would either die of fright, get a bloody good headache, or die of lead poisoning.

    EH8. Nice stock, comes up very nice and has nice lines, was a bit worried the bergara bottom metal wouldn't fit (stock is inletted for generic rem700/defiance etc clones) but all fits like a glove. Will shoot it this arvo and decide if it's worth bedding or not

    Did you weigh the factory stock? Interesting to see the difference. Im considering a build on a b14. They tick a lot of my boxes except the weight

    Nah I haven't weighed it separately but it's a heavy bugger. Rifle feels much lighter now. The action/barrels are pretty solid on the B14 so they're not a super lightweight but damn I'm impressed for the money the action is like a rem700 clone with the upgraded features that a custom defiance etc offer (sako extractor and bolt release, coned bolt head for easy and reliable feeding, better primary extraction, solid half cock, WAY smoother than a lemmington, bolt is nicer to grab and use) but at a fraction of the price. And it shoots good
