Thread: Return

Hey guys,
Just moved back from my O.E I used to have an account but forgot all the details so this is my new account.
Central Otago based.

Welcome back.

Hey mate,

Nice although 243 is not my favorite cal I'm sure used within its limits it's a fine cartridge. The Lupo is an absolutely beautiful rifle, I loved my one I had in 30 06. Look forward to hearing about it.
What's your setup ? Optics, rings, suppressor etc ? Feel free to share some pics

Welcome back Lopo

Yea its my first smaller caliber hunting rifle but I have heard great things from mates but shot placement is important on bigger animals.
I have a burris full feild 4 scope which has a little illuminated dot in the centre and leopold rings.
And a dbt suppressor.

.243 gets used 2 ways..precise brain/neck shot or smack them in shoulder/chest with a 1100grn soft point and keep freezers filled. back before suppressors tamed just about everything down they had a large following... its still as good as it always has been at just killing stuff dead without fuss....shhhhh dont let my .270w know I said that.

1100grn wow more 243 than .243 are they armour piercing as well?

Funny how your mind works 'Lupo' - definition of a wild dog sprung immediately to mind.
And hot on the heals was 'sawn off shotgun' ............... wow this dude's an interesting mongrel ?

And then I looked up 'sawn of shotgun' (cos I was wondering) and discovered I'd got it wrong, as that definition was 'Lupara' (Sicilian or something)

And now I have a third definition - Bergara Lupo ....... my mind's becoming cluttered

WTF's an 'orly' ?

Welcome

Right - I had my pill and now I'm gonna change that 'Bergara' to 'Benelli' - thought they made shotguns .................... ?

They have started a foray into bolt action hunting rifles, and they have done an amazing job of it, think of a hunting rifle that can be custom fitted with shims and spacers out of the box, has a recoil reduction system (that actually works), is super slick like a Sako and points like a well tuned shotty then you're getting close to how awesome the "Lupo" or "wolf" is. Do some homework there has been a lot of research and development gone in to them. As you can tell.....I'm a fan
