Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Hopefully I’ve attached a photo this time. (Learner poster)

Had a case for a while, rain day so cut slots with a hot screwdriver, not very well,(stock and barrel without sights) bought a electric soldering gun with hot knife for the tip, did a better job on the scope and upper barrel, but runs too cold and difficult to keep going, might get another foam and try again sometime.
But K95 with 3 barrels and 3 scopes.

New toy for the inventory
Bergara wilderness b14 in a b&c mountain rifle stock, chambered in 7mm rem mag, Dean Maisy brake, topped with an Element Optics 2-16×50 HDLR.
Fitted a Spartan flush mount last night, just awaiting projectiles to arrive so i can start load development.
Been hankering another rem mag for a whilec

If it’s the quatromax it’s a very good brake as I’m sure all his are think 9year old with hearing protection 7blaser mag 180s at 3060 kind off good

Hardly “gunporn” no one’s into porn with uglys but it is new,
I’m undecided if it’s going to be a lightish weight hunter in which case il get a z5 for it and keep the carbon stock or flick the carbon stock for a heavy chassis rig (had a small heart attack at the price of chassis so unlikely) with an element helix or just a longs range varminter goat slaying fallow bowling beast in the factory stock without worrying about weight which is the most likely scenario either way it’s a little pocket rocket shooting 80gn eldm 3175fps or 69gn targex at 3300 first tests with 80 eldm printed half moa with no effort rapidly fired at that. I have seating depth tests loaded but visitors have being none stop today tikka t3 22-204R.

It's definitely not great when you forget to put your ear pro back on in a concrete bunker

If that’s the maclains island range I feel your pain

@Kelton what’s the carbon stock on that tikka ? Looks real nice

It’s a Stug that iv ticketed up and refinished mate

Well done , looks professional like a manners paint job

This is not exactly “Porn “ , but I thought I’d throw it into the mix .
This is my Australian Pig Rifle .
The whole idea was to keep it simple and as Factory as possible will still achieving the desired attributes that a normal Factory T3x Lite doesn’t offer .
In OZ Tikka offers what they call a “ Wild Boar “ model which consists of a Super Lite barrel / action in a CTR stock ( .223/.308 only ) . This offers a manageable weight with the larger magazine capacity ( 10 rounds ) of the CTR .
I already had a T3x in 6.5 CM which is a Factory offering of 20 inch threaded sporter / Lite barrel and the bigger bolt knob .
While perusing an online firearms site I spied a CTR stock / bottom metal / magazine for a stupidly low price and jumped on it immediately.
So with minimal effort I had myself a “ Wild Boar “ in 6.5CM .
The only non Factory components are a limbsaver pad and a muzzle brake ( which turns the already low recoil into a .223 or even less ) and a lighter trigger spring .
The whole idea of the larger mag capacity is for mobs of Pigs in open country and that in combination with the muzzle brake means very quick target acquisition between shots at running animals.
The Zeiss scope turned down to 3 power is ideal and gives the option to crank it up to 12 power if a longer precise shot is required.
Even though it’s my Pig gun it will be used in a few weeks for a Chital Deer hunt I have organised and even though the extra capacity won’t be needed there I’m not going to change what isn’t broken, by putting it back into its original Stock .
All up it weighs a fraction over 9 pounds with bolt/ mag /bipod and is a pleasure to shoot and carry .
The photo of the target was from yesterday’s load development of some 129SST Hornady projectiles which I want to use on the Chital .

New build all finished

7PRC Tikka t3
Trueflite match barrel 20” 1/8 twist spiral fluted (plus all the usual tikka action tinkering)
GRC Xtrme series stock
Leupold VX6 3-18x44 scope
MTN Bipod and QD sling
Maniatis Alpine hunter titanium braked suppressor

Bloody stoked with this build. Can’t wait to develop a good load for her.
(Currently working on 180gr eld-m ,federal magnum primers, and h4831sc

Cool looking spiral fluted barrel.
Not something you see often

I use a craft knife fully extended and keep heating that up red hot with a butane torch, cuts through it very cleanly and quickly.
