Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

(How do I rotate the picture?)

Savage 12 VLP DBMS .233 Rem with. 1:7 rate of twist for my 14 year old to use FTR class target shooting (bipod to come)

Bedding and sighting in at present. Managed a group of 4 shots at 100 yards where the 1st two went in the same hole at the other two touched/overlapped that hole. Less that 1 MOA.

Not sure how you do it on the forum but

New Rock river arms 6.8SPC

Big props must go to delta-sector NZ for helping me out and giving me a great deal, must better pricing than the chinese ar's out there. Plus got a hard case as a bonus. Phil was very quick with his replys and had the rifle to me the day after I paid, he really does go out of his way.

What pistol range is open here during darkness hours banana?

Invercargill. Open 24/7 to members.

Interesting..

I was surprised to find out that most pistol clubs have time and day restrictions.

Love the 6.8spc as a hunting round-tho I hate wondering where the brass went due to the cost

haha yeah, but its not to bad, factory ammo is $42 for 20 so about the same as basic 308- or 7-08 ect. You wouldnt want to be using it high volume for rabbits ect where you will loose a heap of brass. Will be good at the range or out big game hunting where only a few shots will be fired.

Only shot one red with mine before I decided it was to heavy (barrel like a truck axle) to cart around, but it sure did the job on it. Overkill on goats.
Good mags helped a lot,so I hope you got more than one with the rifle.

What optics/mount are you going to grace it with?

Only one came with the rifle, its a steel stoner one, seems to function very well.

CAA mount at this stage, maybe a PEPR and just a leupold vx1 2-7x33, should be a well suited scope

This is reasonably light with a 16" standard weight barrel. ( I no nothing about AR's by the way)

get some of the PRI 6.8 "waffle" mags, they allow a longer OAL for loaded rounds

You don't need too know that much they are quite simple, and you can't stop at one neither. I had 5 till I met VC and then a certain KG and am down to 2 with new toy on the way (What can a man do with 5 ARs you can;t do with 2 ) 2 Have transformed into good U/O shotties and one into a (god forbid) Bolt action with a bit more ommmmph than a .223 . I have not owned one of these for 20+ years so its gonna be a re-learning curve remembering to work the bolt thingy

should've skipped the turnbolt and gone straight to the contemporary design, Blaserrrr


or AR10... DPMS Gen2 is looking good...


I basically just grab my AR whenever I go out the door to shoot something now
