Have I missed something?

I’ve got one of those bipods with ‘twangy’ springs on my Sako 22 but haven’t had issues with game fleeing from the noise. (which can be minimized with a bit of care)

Not really, I use a bipod for every shot my Son takes at an animal as he is not yet big enough and practiced enough to take shots at living things un aided, and yes those twangy springs do spook rabbits at 30y.

Yes, very good.

But gosh those mounting brackets are expensive.

Finally got a new stock to replace the noodley Hogue overmoulded thing on my Rem 700 300 Blk..

I have one of those stocks. Good value. Mine has every spare accessible void filled with No9 lead shot

Had a Rem700 in 243 that shot really well. I felt like a change so had it rebarreled with 6mm Bradley Barrel in 1-8.
Chambered in 6mm Creedmoor in an Oryx Chassis and Timney trigger.
On top is a Delta Javelin 4.5-30x56.
Yet to be fired

Apart from the obvious weight saving are they as sturdy as a harris and do the legs have a good adjustment range and quiet to operate?

Have you seen this? Forum member... https://youtu.be/Lmyy8CgP9PY

Remington 1858 in .44 Caliber

This one was made during the American Civil war.

Had a crack out of it tonight,alot of fun to shoot.Judging by the amount of crap I cleaned out of the barrel and cylinders prior to firing,it hasn't been fired in a very long time.

Very nice

If only it could talk.

The latest incarnation of my Tikka T1x 22lr .

Brought this howa 7mm-08 off a mate last night I think he brought it not Realising it had a tighter than normal chamber and required reloading and wouldn’t take factory ammo

I brought it for the barreled action as I think the stock is a bit horrible feels nice but looks horrible and its a single shot in its current configuration ill put it in a walnut stock and reinstall a floor plate style mag

Barreled action is a heavy profile mab barrel (nfi what twist )
It’s 24 inch fluted

Has been modified to take a r700 trigger group just worked that out after buying it I thought it was just a older version of the howa trigger
Not sure if it’s a standard xmark or an after market have no experience with them but I know enough to know it’s rem 700 it breaks at like 1lb extremely good trigger

Will look awsome in the walnut stock I have for it just need to modify a bottom metal slightly so it fits the 700 trigger

Not a lot added here as I've still not made it home from Aus due to COVID but got a mate to throw the Greystone Suppressor on and take a photo.

1. The car is not mine (A very good mate is storing my rifle)
2. It's still minus the scope and un-shot by me in this config

A couple of 'new to me' 250savages.
1 a FN herstal and the other savage 99.
Both are 14 twist.

@Pushover, very nice 👍

Are you able to post a pic of the other side of the rifles especially that lower one which takes my fancy

they're both well used 50s rifles though still look yo be in serviceable condition.

I'm going to start out with some 90gr hpbt to see how they shoot and maybe see how they go with a short 100gr.

Tetawa owned the FN a few owners ago and said he shot 80gr Barnes in it with good success

Scratches that 6 x 45 itch in a way for me
