It's the pic the TM seller used..... I do know my rifle is a 223 ha ha ha ha

I've set mine up to mimic as best as I can the length, weight and ergonomics of my former light weight AR for Bush hunting goats. It looks odd but feels good in the hand.

Screw what it looks like - the fell of it is more important I reckon

Bought one for the grandchildren to start out on.
Great little set up, fun, accurate and effective.
Nuisance goats, first time hunter.
Two nice reds, for me.

125 speer for goats.
155amax for deer

Finally blooded my Howa .204 last week after roughly sighting it in. Scored several wallaby's out to @ 315 metres. Awesome little rifle glad I bought it. My first stainless/synthetic push feed rifle. Now just need to suppress it.

Who's got a good load for a .223 Howa 1:8 as a mate just bought one?

I'm looking at loading up some 63 gr Sierras and have either BM2 or AR2206H powder at hand... just looking for a good load to try for his rifle and thought I'd ask all those on this thread what your running?

Id like to know as well still trying to sus a load that shoots for mrs northdudes tikka

@Seventenths mine shot 68gr Hornadys with a full noise load of 2206h, 26gr gave right on 3000 fps and good accuracy

Cheers Beavis but I'm really wanting a load for the 63 gr Sierra or a 55 gr projectile.

I might just get him to use current loads for my T3 and go from there.

Northdude.... not wanting to side track the thread I'll send you a PM on what works in my T3

Cool thanks
