  2. Help

    Good afternoon all it's been some time since I last posted or even looked on SD. I have been going through a very acrimonious divorce for the last 4 years and have not picked up a weapon for a very long time. I am currently re-applying for my FAC and Shotgun certificates. Does anyone have any...
  3. 7-08 Factory Ammo

    I normally shoot 120 gr Nosler bt reloads through my Sako 708 with a sporter barrel and normally get sub quarter inch groups. I have just tried some PPU 140 gr sp through it and im getting about the same results but grouping about 1 inch lower than my reloads, I haven't put them across the...
  4. How short is too short (.22lr barrel)

    Im no expert and not a gunsmith, but a similar thing happened to my Sako 243 had it cut down to 20inches and it wouldnt group at all, took it too another gunsmith who re-threaded it and it shot superb, he said he thinks that the thread and crown where not concentric. Im not saying yours is the...
  5. New .308 time! Sako or Tikka?

    Sako everytime, Tikkas are good working tools and yes they do shoot before someone has a go, but if want a rifle thats going to last then its a Sako, I have owned various Sakos over the last 20 years in various guises some wood some synthetic ect, A11s, 75s and one 85 all them shot superbly...
  6. roe call

    May I just add and im sure others know this, but Roe calls work on Muntjac I have lots of success calling Muntjac with the Buttallo, although it doesnt always work. But when it does the sport is excellent.

    I shot a buck some time ago that weighed 39lbs from a small wood near Rutland, I thought it was a Roe when I first saw it cross the ride as it was at last light,
  8. opinions on Sako 75

    Theres no comparison David, I had a 85 when they were first brought out, only had 2 weeks and took it back, didnt like the synthetic stock although thats changed now and it didnt group nowhere near as good as my old 75 that had shot in excess of 2000 rounds, wanted my old 75 back but...
  9. opinions on Sako 75

    I have two one in 243 and one in 708, I have owned five 75s in various calibres and all them shot sub one inch groups, I did have a Sako 85 in 243 for about two weeks when they first came out, I then took it back to the dealers to see if I could have my old 75 back but it was sold, so managed to...
  10. Carcass trays?

    Plasterers baths are superb, and yes they will hold a red two at a push, depending on size of course. If size is an issue which it is with me, I do have a Navara but there is a dog cage in the back all the time so a plasterers tub wont fit with it in and a lot of my stalking is Muntjac and Roe...
