Rifles Photos Please

[AndyAitchison]

Hi Members

I was wondering what rifle or rifles members are using and what calibre it is.

If you could maybe post a photo with a description of performance in the field etc. I Thought it might make for interesting reading.

Sorry guys if this has already been done before and apologies to admin if its in the wrong section.

They say that the most important thing is getting a gun to fit you.
Then again.....

Good luck with the shoot invitations

 

[Tamus]

Sorry, the sling's not for sale through Blaser dealerships, nor is the rust browned version... but what do you think of the fancy-shmancy pre-production custom shop variant?

Some very nice rifles lads...
Ah Nowler the 6PPC!!
That brings back memories - i gather you are using a 1 in 14 twist???
I had a Sako 75 in 6PPC USA - they came with a 1 in 12 twist so you could use the 58 V-maxs for vermin control and the 85 grainers for stalking...
When the barrel wore out Callum re-barreled it for me with a 1 in 12 twist Krieger with a 270 neck...

yeah, i had one of those for a while. should never have sold it but hey ho. sako's had a .272 neck is a light skim of 220 russians and you were good to go. i shot 87grn v-max's out of mine, and shot everything with them. great combination as long as you didn't push the distance too much. probably on the limit of stabilisation, i was never brave enough to load them up with half a charge to see if they would key hole or not.

Staffordshire synthetic stock ask for Danny. They make some nice stock saving up to get my .243 done as well.
