Quick Trip Out

Popped out this evening, making my way to the ditch spotted two deer heading back into trees...both stopped right on the edge of the forestry...100 yardish......Body shot covered by growth in the ditch, only option was high neck shot....168 Amax.... No exit....They do perform well..,

Nice one I see you’re on the same island as me. I’ve a .308 too, I put Sako hammerheads through it.

I’m buying them from Kelly in Mayo for about €50/52 if I buy 3-5 boxes at a time.

Nice them..what length of barrel? .mate gave me his older 595 in .243...Nicer to shoot than the T3X.Considering shortening the 308 barrel, not shooting mad distances so regrettable loss in performance

It’s 20”, I don’t think I’d have a longer barrel in the future. Unless I change calibre. My mate has a 595 in .22-250. Lovely gun, lovely stock.

I've a wooden 595 stock that came off a 22.250 if he ever bangs his..
