    The plan is to get a 270 at some stage. I'll take it for a walk and pole-axe something then have a talk with @Toby and tell him they do work.

    Mind you, I can imagine he'll organise something else to go wrong for me, just for spite.

    Rubbish! I have not got a 243. I have two of them, and just to cheese @Toby off they are ugly Savages with the gimmicky trigger. I did catch him off guard and he said that it was nice to shoot when he tried it. Then I screwed things up by putting 3 shots through a ragged hole with his Howa 6.5x55AI.

    I'm curious to what I am then. I'm a loud,proud 270 owner and user, but it's not a Tikka. Does that mean I'm still in the closet, but got the doors open.
    At least it's not a 7mm08

    Admin. We need a bigger like button!

    I'll be bringing a Savage 243, and so will TimeRider.

    Meh, I will bite... Have a Tikka and its 7mm08. Puts holes is things and reloaded rounds will travel better than 308. Have swapped the stock with an MDT/LSS, bit heavier but I like it for 5-600yrds (maybe longer at the range when I get a chance). No requirement to change the trigger or barrel unless your match shooting I guess.

    Oh, the number of times we've heard that one ... more stick if it is a T3, ... and even more if north of the Bombay hills.
