Cheers mate. That's what I was thinking, all the guys that I know that have Sakos, love them. But they are a $8500 crate gun down here without mags, mounts, rail and scope so it's $10k exercise easily :( and there's a 12 month wait list on them ATM, just to add insult to injury. I just...

G'day All, I'm hoping to get a bit of feedback/info/insights on the Nesika Tactical Rifle in 338LM please. I'm currently looking at a new 338 and was pretty set on a Sako Trg 42, but while I was at a dealers today they had a new Nesika Tactical in 338. Nesika is a relatively new brand...

Cheers guys. I havent been able to find a solution for the gap at the rear of the action. If anyone has any ideas Id be grateful ? Sadly suppressors are illegal downunder, along with pretty much everything else.

Gday All, So I decided to pick up a new 22 a few months back, and I thought Id share. In the end I opted for a PWS and then dropped it in a Nordic kit, with a Troy forend, Magpul bits etc etc ... I know its ridiculous, but hey, its a bit of a laugh. :) Its currently got a Bushnell XRS...

jjrgr21 - Cheers. I tried the Hornady 75grn Match rounds .. but my rifle couldnt stabilise them and they went everywhere, (its only 1:9 unfortunately), the 69grn sierras gave me the best results from the weekend. I'll see if I can pick up some v-max and give them a go. JGorksi, Thanks :). No...

No probs mate Ill flick you a PM.

Traav, yeah they were tumbling in the conditions we had on the day. Not sure if they would be more stable in better conditions.

Lol, no .. I was the closest thing to a lawyer in our group. Do you shoot IPSC ? The 300WM sounds like a very nice bit of kit. Got any pics ? Why 260/6.5 ? out of curiosity ? is this more for ELR target stuff ? Yeah the Sako isnt a cheap option thats for sure ... Im just trying to find...

Cheers guys. I was pretty happy considering Ive only shot out to about 400m previously. Close, Denmark way. :) Yeah its a great place to chill out, relax and get some shooting done. The only issue is the wind where we are shooting is really unpredictable. We were shooting clays in the arvo and...

Gday mate, EDIT: sorry I just reread your post and realised we were talking different scopes. A couple of mates run them on 223 rifles and they are very good (Ive also used them) They are clear and sharp and work well under both red and white spotties when shooting roos and foxes. I...

Gday Everyone, I thought Id post a couple of pics from my first attempt at long(er) range shooting from the weekend just gone. We headed down to a friends property to setup some new rifles and do some hunting. While I was there I decided Id have a crack at a couple of longer range shots...

Cheers mate.

Thanks for the tip, looks like its something Ill have to try. Just curious about corrosion on the raw metal faces ? is it likely to be an issue ?

Id give Eric Dorn at EDR a call .. he could probably knock one up for you EDR Performance - Portland Motorcycle Service

Sorry, been flat out with work. Ive started collecting components for my 223 platform. Im using a 28' Lilja Barrel, 3 groove, 1:7, threaded with a muzzle brake on a Stiller Tac 30 Action, in a Manners T4A stock and finally a Timney 510. Im hoping that it will be a solid shooter once its...
