    Yip, not everyone's cup of tea and pretty heavy, but I just cannot complain about the performance of this wee gun over all for the price, and it fits in any bag you like broken down - except for hand bags of course.
    Second or third post here for me so here's hoping the attachment attaches...standby...

    I have the same setup in 300BLK. It's a sweet little bush rifle. Minimal recoil and noise.

    Moved down south and have decided to do a bit more long range/prs type shooting for fun.

    Got this setup after a bit of shopping around. Custom Guns in Invercargill had this scope & rifle for a sharp deal. Bergara Wilderness HMR in 300PRC. Bit of a laser and is doing the deed. Loves the Hornady ammo.

    Sub moa. Minimal velocity spread with the Hornady Precision Hunter 212gr -the drop is very consistent right out to 1150m which is as far as I've gone with it. If only I could judge the wind as well haha

    A couple of recent additions...

    Type 38 Carbine and Winchester M1917.

    Who can tell what's wrong with the picture of the M1917?

    The bolt knob appears to be at a wrong angle but that could just be the camera angle.
    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

    Nope.

    It has been modified to take Arisaka Type 30 Bayonet...

    If these Japanese boys have M1917 rifles over their shoulders and Arisaka Bayonets on their belts - my rifle could very well be modified by the Japanese- I'm certainly researching this more.

    34 days for my scope to do a lap of the world, visit the swaro factory, and back in my grubby mits. Back on the wee kimber and it's shooting great. Just shooting some factory Fiochi 95gr SST stuff at the moment cos I'm a lazy prick and can't be bothered reloading, it's pretty anemic at just over 2800fps but will do the job out to 300 untill I can be bothered getting on the press again. Real impressed with the little Nielson Sonic Compact suppressor, really compact little unit with stainless internals on the wear points of the baffles and total rifle weight still under 3kg. Kind of like this wee rig again despite the journey its been to get it up and running properly
