Gibo I bore sight it then put a few rounds through to zero it in (not at paper or at a range though) ;-) I just hunt mate not into the target side of things

Old school Mauser M96 6.5x55 by the looks

The mighty rat gun, 243 using 100gr Fed Powershoks. Works as good as any combo out there in a hunters hands. If hunting a area where shots over 220m plus are quite possible(im a bush hunter thou so only a couple spots offer longer distance shots)i prob take the 308 using 165ssts. Hopefully get at least one stag with both set ups and i be happy. moneys on the 243 to take the biggest thou

It will be between the 300 WM with 180gr Noslar Accubonds or BT or my new rifle a Ruger American 30 06 running the same as the 300. Sighted in the 3006 today and it shot well and fast ( 180gr Noslar BT at 2827 Av out of 22" barrel. Might use something else if I feel like it. Maybe my 338 WM.

Il be taking my 3006 as well a cf2 shooting some 178grn Amax but if its raining or a little scrubby or a little to steep (I don't like to use her as a bush basher or a walking stick ) il take the 25-06 shooting 117grn spsbt

Gibo, 270's are such refined hunting machines there's no need for all this "validating" nonsense, very similar to a heat seeking missile

No roar, too busy at work and jury duty end of March.

Would have been Sako 75 .270 Win with 150gn SSTs.

Xbolt .308 running 150gr SST and tikka hunter 243 running 100gr Fusions for the wife

I could go old school open sights with my M38 Huskie.
