Howa heavy barrel in .223 the barrel has been shortened back to 20” so that the T8 is right up to the forend. 55gn V-max Home loads still do 3260fps though that barrel. It has Leupold mounts and has a Bausch@Lomb Elite 3-9X50 scope.

Tikka M595 in 243 Optlock mounts and Swavoski 8X56 scope. In the fore ground being used culling Fallow does, my mate in the back ground also has a M595 in 243 and the head stalker on this estate uses one as well in 243. :lol:

Jay, is that the same mod on both rifle's??

They suggest you don't put a mod from a rimmy onto a centrefire because of any unburnt powder from the rimmy could be ignited from the CF round :lol:

Yes Kip, it is the very same. I have not found a problem with this in the five years i have been using it. I keep it well oiled inside and out, plus the rimmy don't see much daylight. I understand what your saying, the problem was unheard of when i made the purchase so i never thought it would be a problem. Hence i don't worry about it.

 

Thanks,

Jay.

.22 RF. BRNO with 6x36 Nikko scope and Parker Hale moderator.

 

.243 SAKO 75 VARMINTER, SS H/B Laminated stock. 6-24x50 Swarovski scope with No. 4A reticle.

 

.308 SAKO 75 VARMINTER, Black barrel, Wood stock. 6-18x50 Swarovski scope with TDS4 reticle.

 

.270 Carl Gustaf Mod.2000 standard stalking rifle, 3-12x56 Swarvoski Nova Steel scope with No. 1A reticle.

 

8x68s Weatherby MK 5, currently no scope and awaiting shipping to my Swedish hunting pal.

 

At nearly 74 I have NO plans to change any of these as they are all capable of fulfilling my current needs and all shoot well when correctly tweaked in.
