    LR - Wow that looks awesome There are some super accurate rifles coming out of the NZ hunter camp. My long range varminter being built by Harvey Westland is almost a dead ringer of your rig but with Barnard action & 284 Shehane. I'm thinking an 162gr Amax @3100 fps should make for paddock pizza
    Dead is better likes this.

    Good choice using Harvey.

    Yes they have built my last two rifles and I am very happy with the finished product, everything functions and is finished properly, which is more than every other gunsmith in NZ that i have used has managed, and i have tried a lot of different guys. The only thing that can be a little difficult with NZ Hunter is the communication, Greg obviously is a very busy guy and is often away and they can't be reached by phone, which is understandable i guess as Greg would spend all day on the phone if he answered it.

    Started some load work and barrel run in toady on my new 6.5x47. 41gr of H4350 and a 130VLD 40 thou jump, seems to shoot but still to slow at 2750. I have some RL15 coming and should find better speed with that, although 41gr or H4350 was nowhere near max load. I need to ditch the Rem trigger for a jewel, I think it will shrink the groups a little. Interestingly today at the range in Taupo there was some of the worst mirage I have ever seen, the temp wouldn't have gone over 14 degrees even though the sun was out, anyone know what causes this on a cool day?

    Ah, ya just can't go past a stock standard Tikka T3, mines in .223 and has a HRE suppressor, Talley Light Weight Rings and a VX1 4-12 with a long range reticle. I get the .17HMR out ever now and then, but you never know what you'll see when you are out; so I prefer the .223.

    Shoots very well

    Used for all sorts of varmints


    And accounted for a few rabbits

    Yes. It's a bushing to keep the bolt aligned in the raceways.
