Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Yeah all good.

You could turn that thumbhole stock into a free standing pistol grip stock by hacksawing the bit between its bottom and the rear of the stock where it connects to :-)

Finally in my hot hands after 3 weeks wait. Cheers to @NZ_noddy your a champ for picking this up for me.
Off to gunworks for a couple improvements tomorrow then the load development will begin.
It came with load data for 130g ssts and 140g amax, I'm not a fan of sst's, I'll probably develop a eldx load with the 145g offering

You will be pleased with that. Its an easy calibre to get shooting well. I nipped mine back to 22" and it still performs very well. A good caliber for the one rifle person. In the bush to reduce length the recoil is very manageable to use without a muffler or brake, although I always use mine with a muffler on now. Of the off the shelf magnums its the most civilised in my book.

sbs 28 gauge great little carry gun, one magpie so far. Hopefully give it a workout on the ducks later in the week.

I was shooting a SKB sxs 28gr at skeet today, tried it for two rounds, but fits not good, 12-13 out of 25, I taken a pass on buying it, It looked very similar to your shotgun,

Yeah time will tell the magpie didn't like it that's for sure, hardly an exhaustive test though. Should get out for an evening shoot on the ducks mid week and on the clays this Saturday. It does take a bit of getting used to as they are vey light and it's easy to over lead or we bit shakey on target.

Nothing flash - Howa 1500 in .308 Win. Shoots every ammo that I have tried very straight. The thermal scope has three "profiles" (Weapon Selection) so I've set it up for standard and sub sonic ammo. Just installed the adjustable cheek rest (Matthews Fabrication) to obtain correct eye relief.

If you know anyone in Southland with pigs or deer on winter crops (private land) I am keen to get out !

Put a few rounds through the bergara today. Shows promise. Shoots factory corlokt good so they will be the go to bush load. Took a few rounds to settle but was shooting well by the end.

Good stock design with low perceived Recoil, pussy cat to shoot.

Red dot is going to go I think. Will replace it with a lightweight scope. Still managed to shoot some OK groups at a hundy with it though(rh target is from seated position)

Couple new levers for me, sold the .243 BLR in NZ, and found one in .358 win takedown, the next day in my hometown of Fort Mac, in Canada, fellow held it for me, for six weeks, included 8 boxes of ammo, bargain at $1200.
Second is a 1895 Winchester in .270 win, just got it last week, unfired still unwrapped in box, Half the price, of a new one, I was looking at, score,

Got skinner sights, on order for both, sorted for heavy hitters in leavers now,

@southernman that 1895 looks really good. Didn't realise they were making them again.

Just picked it up yesterday.

Bought a new Beretta Silver Pigeon 686 before duck shooting.



First O/U I have bought myself, enjoying shooting it on clays and ducks.

weee that 358 BLR!

I know I posted this here the other day but I haven't even fired it yet, I dropped it straight to Gunworks for some love in the form of Talleys ex low rings and a muzzle brake.
