Thread: Your favourite firearms.

At the moment this would have to be mine:




My Sako 75, originally a .243 that I bought secondhand in 2008, now rebarreled to 6.5x47 Lapua with a 20" ultramatch 1:8" Trueflite. McMillan Sako 75 stock with EDGE, Roedale Delta IV Ultralight suppressor, Gunworks custom picatinny rail.

Scope is a 3-12x50 PMII that I'm swapping between 2 rifles until my second one arrives(February apparently). 34mm Roedale PSG rings, Eagle stockpack in MULTICAM (of course).


Despite the giant lump of a scope it's reasonably light, and really well balanced. As well as being great to carry, I find it easy to shoot offhand and it seems to be very accurate. Shot about 10 tahr with it a month ago, first trip out with the new barrel. From 100 out to 380 meters, no problems. I didn't try any longer shots on animals as I'm out of practice and didn't have proper ballistics, but did shoot a pinecone at 450 meters after zeroing.

Looking foward to using it more this summer! 2 weeks to go...

Here's my current favourite


Winchester 1892 25-20wcf. Manufactured in 1910 and given to me this year as a birthday present from my lovely wife.

This is my only one. Soon to be upgraded.

Stevens .243 Painted, bedded and reinforced factory stock Weaver rail and Mueller 3-10x44 scope. Shoots 8-12mm groups with 105gr A-Max's.

Its been this one for a few years now.Model 52 cooper in 280AI.March 2.5-25x42 sitting on a flat ken farrel rail. APS small 3 port break.

My (current) all time favourite... 338 Lunatic. Barnard P Chey action, True Flite 1 in 10 Ultra match, fluted 32 inch barrel, straight taper with a NZ Hunter 4 port brake. McMillan A5 Edge stock with a DE cheekpiece. Barnard trigger and rail. 2 pairs of Nightforce Ultralight rings, Nightforce 5.5-22x50. 300gr SMK/Hybrid at a bit over 3,250fps. Longest shot to date is a tahr at 1,000m and this bull at 820m. Poleaxed them!
