Sapper811 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thought i would share my set up so far as i am just starting off in the varmint world ! i have seen a few posts on here from guys like myself asking what rifle, how much etc etc so i thought i would give you a run down so far with costs. The overall idea being for a rifle that i can get to grips with and learn with over the next 3-6 months. yes i would love a tactical stock and floorplate with AICS mag etc. But, i am saving the money for now and learning to shoot it as is. same for ammo. No home loading as yet so off the shelf only. ( sugestions welcome ) Tikka T3 Tactical in .223 - second hand in great condition, one owner from new less than 300 rounds fired - £700. Global Rifle 6-9 bipod - £75 - great construction and quality Third eye tac 30mm rings - £113 - again superb quality. Yes i could have bought cheaper rings but i am sure a slighter larger investment now will pay dividends - am i right thinking this ? Bushnell Elite tac4200 6-24x50 - £510 - thanks Mark, superb service ! A great scope and looking forward to getting to know it Just got a TAB gear sling this morning at newark - £60 On order is an Ase Ultra Compact - £255 I would welcome any comments or thoughts so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ Varminter Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 In agreement with spud there. But yeah it sure is a nice looking rifle. How you finding the optics? I just bought a TAB rear bag of the guys on March stand even had a dreamy gaze through the scopes also! Lol. One day if I win the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 If you are going to use factory loads then try Norma 50gr v-max, they are pretty accurate, dont know what twist rate you have though so my not suit, my 223 rifle has a 1-12 so they work ok, got a feeling yours may be a faster twist?
