I have just put a 1x scope on my bush rifle and am loving the ease with which you can shoot quickly both eyes open.

But K95 with 3 barrels and 3 scopes.

I have found an electric knife does a nice job.

I'll be bringing it in for a trim and thread, just wanting to put a few rounds through first.

And the deer will still be in grave danger if you do take it on "multi day tops missions" as well

New build has begun.

Pierce tiskele action, lonepeak 44 stock, 20inch proof csrbon barrel, trigger tech diamond trigger hawkins Featherlite rings. Will buy a oceanic defense suppressor, aswell as a march scope. Currently as it dsit is 2.5kg pre gunsmithing. Will be chambered in 6.5 saum.

Thanks cam from alpine, jaco from tusker and Matt @MTNGear!

Picked this up recently, nice old tikka m690 in 270. $500 from the second hand section of one of the locals. And a quick $150 for a suppressor off this site and it presents very well, have sorted it for my mates first rifle and was tempted to keep it for myself. Has a weaver 3-9 on it that was most likely put on it new.

Picked up this a little while ago, Tikka Strata .223 Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50, Backlanz carbon bipod, gunworks maximus suppressor - shooting 73gr ELD-M's have shot paper out to 600 with very good results.

My latest build, got sick of lugging the light but very long Waypoint 6.5prc through thick bush so finally got round to completing a project I'd hand in mind (and safe) for the last couple of years. I wanted something short and light, didn't cost an arm and a leg, but allowed the use of my OD suppressor which did. Meant I was stuck with an HBAR profile being mandatory, so what started as a Howa 1500 .308 20" Blued HBAR became this. A 14" fluted and painted bush pig. The barrel chop, threading/re-crown, and fluting work was done by DPT. Cerakote was outsourced by GC. I am very happy with the work from both, and the end result is a well balanced rifle. The suppressor is an OD Alpine Hunter Magnum, the optic is a Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20 FireDot Twilight Hunter. Cerakote colour code is H-264 for barrel and action (both rifles), C-110 for the bolt on the Howa.
