Thread: New Tikka & Sako

You should write fiction or sell ammo full time.

The ammo you provide is fcuken cheap.

And you tell a good story.😆

I have fired thousands of rounds thru one Brads.
While accurate, it was the most cumbersome piece of shit you could use in a green role environment.
It raised your profile by design, was longer than most artillery, it weighed a ton and caught up on everything in existence because of all its box edges.

My 93 and a bag of washers runs rings around one in all those departments and is every bit if not more accurate.

My father said almost exactly the same thing about them... in fact he says that about a lot of the new sniper rifles and how he would hate to have to crawl through a stalk with one because of their weight and how they would get caught up on things. Hawkins seems to be a much less utilised shooting position these days...

Superbly accurate though.

I think your old man is still the only non infantry or SF person to pass the unit course on record, let alone top it.
It took me more than one go because my observation and navigation was shit.

Ask him what he shot on his initial badge test.

Hunting writers will say nice things about them and pretend they are different to get invites to Beretta pheasant shoots.
The rimfire option will likely have flashing LED lights, glow in the dark and have 4 in different barrels in .22 mag, .22, 17HMR and 17HM2 that fold out of the stock like the blades of a swiss army knife. A special (expensive) scope will digitally correct its self to four different zeroes depending on which barrel you fold out. It will be plastic and uglier than a $400 Savage. People who have owned a Finnfire Hunter will cry uncontrollably if they touch one.

To summarize the Blaser vs Accuracy International discussion, the Blaser is a rifle that is actually different. The Accuracy is a rifle that is actually a van, posing as a rifle. Its shaped like a van, its as heavy as a van and its as aesthetically pleasing as a van, so it must be a van.

To non military people they look military and to military people they look heavy.

Save yourself $10,000 and paint an old ford econovan olive green.

Beretta is a subsidiary of the same corporation producing computer tuned pop music and chemically addictive processed food.

Fuck me I just spat coffee all over my keyboard and wee'ed myself laughing. Haven't laughed like that in ages, I will never look as "Vans" the same way again

Bugger. Looks like the Mrs might need to get a firearms license too since she seems to drive an Accuracy International.

When you get up tomorrow morning around it will be a cluster of very clean and very thin and very fat individuals dressed in after market digi cam cargo pants, webbing from obscure american tactical websites with nice sewn on badges of angry muscular dogs holding knives. Clipped to the webbing will be pocket knives made with lasers from material engineered by NASA, enough paracord to make an actual parachute, machined alluminium objects of intended purpose unknown, but with the practical application of catching every bit of scrub ever and torches also made with lasers with batteries also made by NASA, so bright only the curvature of the earth can stop them from being seen at night.

Don't worry, at the sight of your wife, daughter or any other female they will flee back to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (gun store that shall remain nameless).

Nah, they wont. They'll still be trying to untangle themselves from the seatbelts.

Actually I reckon the van would be good as a hunting wagon. Huge moon roof for shooting from, heaps of room in the boot, seats fold for a bed, 4x4ish, ... Mrs wont let me put on bigger mud tyres and borrow it much though.
