Shoots the Belmont black into little groups and i have shot gongs out to 800y constantly. Hoping to shoot the 77tmk next.
Got a vx5 on top and dpt can, It's so far shot fellow, rabbets, hares, magpies, and a couple of goats.

Would be the last rifle I'd sell. I am wanting to build a twin but in 22cm.

Yet when I sold my 223 carbonlight only one person was interested.

For me it's always about available funds.
Usually when something like this turns up I don't have any and when I do have the funds nothing turns up

Funny how life seems to work like that aye, people probably thought there was going to be a regular supply but ya never know what the Euro guys will do.

Used to have a large selection of cals available in NZ but seems very limited nowadays

Bump for 25/08

A question for you guys with .223 Sako 85’s.
Mag length is 58 mm which is less than the tikka std mag at 61 ish?
Assume the throat is the same so you load your heavier pills to mag length and jump them or single feed?

In my tikka varmit with water mag I load heavies at 68 mm for a 80.5 Barnes on 25 of 2208.

Looking at a sporter. T3 or 85 ss laminated 1:8. Will only shoot heavies.

I shoot 73 eldm in mine shoot really well out to 600M it also likes the 77 tmk and 80 targex they are seated down into the case so are way shorter than my Tikka with a Waterman mag.
My Tikka probably shot a wee bit better maybe on a good day but I love the little Sako

.25/08, can still jam 25 gns of 08 behind the heavies when seated to mag length?
