The receivers are shutting the doors at trev terry marine nationwide and I picked up the little waypoint in 308 for a bargain and the little Nx8 fits perfectly. That’s a five shot Sako gamehead 150gr group doing 2770 with now a box through it . Happy days

That sako ammo is the gears!

As I’ve said previously “ not exactly porn “ but these two items have been a major contributor to my Wild Dog ( Dingo) hunting success.
The rifle is a Grandpa’s Axe , it’s an old Tikka T3 .223 rebarrelled to 6x45 ( 6mm 223 ) that sits in a Tikka Super Varmint Stock and wears a Meopta Meostar 3x10 R1 scope , which is the best low light / Spotlight Scope I’ve found so far , but will soon be replaced with a Leupold VX6 2-12x42 CDS Fire Dot ( the illuminated reticle hopefully will be an advantage) , time will tell if it’s a step up or not .
The rifle sends 85gn projectiles downrange at 2865fps ( Waters Magazine so that I can load out long to maximise powder etc ) and shoots 1/2 moa out to 250 M ( self imposed limit when shooting at night ) , this in combination with an electronic Predator caller and an oversized Bull Terrier Bitch ( she comes from a line that was Breed for this purpose, and although she looks 100% Bull Terrier there is other stuff in her , she is Big and fast ) that has a hatred of all things “ Wild Dog “ all come together to make an awesome team .

I've got all the weights in my book over in my loading room but both are the same length and I think the 8 is 70grms heavier.
In the z6 you don't get as many options of zoom as they have dropped the 3.5-18 X50 which is a shame.
Also this z8 brand new (old price ) only cost me $500 more than the Z6 new price.

Ordered through GC, unfortunately came XP not FP - but the box mags not a problem

3rd new stock for the Howa 308win 1500 can't help some people
HS precision, super nice stock to shoot straight comb, just feels right. My only criticism would be the recoil pad is a bit hard (wasn't an issue shooting stout 165gn loads but it might be in bigger Cals.)
Looking pretty swish

HS make a good stock and the dimensions on their classic style are spot on. I’ve got 3 of them. Agree with DannyB re the recoil pads are designed for longevity, a bit hard.

Tarted up the replacement T1x.

New glass for the two Tikkas.

T3x "Carbon Light" gets a Z5.

And the T3 308win goes bush with a 1-4x Steiner.
Thanks to the forum members (and ex member) who contributed.

Classy

Nice. Sensable scope to have on a bush gun

A little bit of porn....
