will do winchester subs, cci 40 gr, eley subs are all going supersonic so will have to get some of the cci suppressor stuff at 970fps should hopefully go subsonic being heavier at 45grains

I like the stock. Kind of a semi hogsback. Was it a private sale or is some outfit importing them?

I brought privately after the auction didn't meet reserve, guy was selling a dirtbike so just txt him my offer and he accepted so no trademe fee's. Bolt appears to be chrome plated so its smooth as anything and the trigger is better then my cz 452 2e 17hmr ever was so very happy

For shits and giggles….



Pity about the slow twist but should get the 150gr Classic Hunters or 145 LRX’s humming

@Ryan Songhurst you’re certainly keeping this thread alive! 😀

I can see why you grabbed one though, I fondled one in Upper Hutt last week (might go back again today) and they do feel nice and light.

I had one of the earliest Howa 7mm08s stolen from my flat in 1993, I’m tempted to grab one for old times sakes; of course it’ll be different, but also the same.

It was a rifle Steve Blenkarne made for me. One of the first 7-08's made here. Howa action and Pac-Nor barrel. It was a laser. I gave it to Craig. Fortunately when it was pinched from Craig's flat the bolt was seperate so it wouldn't have been much use to the thief.

give it another 4 days and the thread will die..except for overseas folks and those who have done the "big thing coming"....
it will be like hunting photos posted during lockdown being used as evidence of your activities.... the date photo taken wasnt taken into account
post up photo of new rifle and expect it to be seen as a triggering event.

Joined in the UTAS owners club quite at the start of the year. Got it all dressed up and comfortable as ARs are required to be haha


Also the scope mount is backwards because of the extended side charging handle. Since swapping to the BCM charger, I can revert that to the correct way once I've used up my current supply of 55gr and re-zero using 62gr loads.

Got my 1952 Fazakerley No4Mk2 today.
Has had a newer barrel fitted at some stage in its life (not FTR). But I wanted a shooter, not an all matching collector.

Nice. I use a BCM charger for when I'm after goats.

Ryan can you comment on accuracy of your Howa Superlite setup?
I have looked at one a number of times at Custom Guns - to be honest memories of a mates Howa rusting up on a trip hold me back - not even sure if that is still the problem it used to be approx 13-15 years ago
If it came out in stainless then I would be keen
