Guest hightower Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Sorry HT, didn't realise you were a member, got to love the Tikka, i know i love mine Yes, been a member for a while since I first started lamping with Chris. Had always shot shotguns (have 32" Miroku Mk38 and Beretta semi as well as the rifles) up until that point. I do like the Tikka as well. It was bought secondhand and the action is nice and smooth. And with the Hornady factory ammo it is shooting really well. The CZ, bought new, is still a little stiff but nothing that a few nights out won't cure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest northernchris Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Fox Hunter Glad you like my hat Tim Its the only way to do it,its were alot of people make the mistake of trying to run before they can walk.Safety and marksmanship need to go hand in hand. 15 odd years ago the local game dealer in Newtonmore managed to shoot himself with his stalking/foxing rifle AND lived to tell the tale These thing we all use need RESPECT. I get just as much pleasure taking people out Foxing/Stalking as i do shooting myself,something i have done for over 20years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
