Is it some kind of walking drone :)
Well, its taken awhile but have got my 308 all set up for my bush and good mid range rifle now. Still got the 243 as the go to rifle, and will do the main work but for a change and areas where i want stretch the legs on animals my 308 will do the job nicely.
Started life bought Brand new as a Rem 700 SPS 24 inch barrel, fitted with a new Burris ii 3-9-40. I actually liked it, but grouping was average at 1.2 -1.3 groups. Scope performed well, esp in the bush, no complains and its best claim to fame was a eight pointer

Now its had a trigger job, done to a nice crisp 2lb. Stock got changed to a custom H S Precison Rem R5 stock.(fibre glass, carbon kelvar comp) with alum bedding blocks.
Totally free floating barrel, straight away groups went well under 1 MOA . Now fitted with my first Leupold, a new VX3i 3.5-10-40 CDS. Custom dial all set for 165sst and usable with 150sst if i dial down a fraction as POI is pretty much the same apart from a wee height difference.

Not long had the 264 winmag so yet to blood her so to speak!!
Plan to use her on Reds too!!!!
I have a nice load running at 3000fps that should be ideal for Roe , and another load that throttles up to 3300fps.
As for the sticks , once you get used to them , you can use as a double stick for a quick shot ( or offhand ) , or for a longer range shot set the double sticks out!!!
Not a boast , but have shot out to 800yds + standing with them on gongs - they are that steady!!!
There's more chance of me getting tangled up in that, hanging from the sticks whilst trying to take the shot.
On the plus side... Looks a great hammock sling...

Guys Razor is in the uk. Shooting off of sticks is considered the norm here.
You don't have as many trees to prop your self up on to steady your shot.
On most guided hunts the stalker (he's the guide) will insist that you use sticks.
Also no running shots. A lot of people on that island and you can't have bullets zippo around willy nilly.
Also most hunting stalking is done on farm land. Nothing like bush hunting NZ style. All countries have different systems styles and traditions, it good to have an open mind ah:)
Thank you sideshow!!!
Yes its private land for hunting here where we have to gain permission or "pay" for guided stalking.
We have access to woodland / edge of wood land fields.
Have used the Harris bipod for taking a shot off the ground prone , even off a downed tree when woodland stalking.
The beauty with the sticks is for a quick shot you can just use the 2 legs ( long bipod ) or if on open fields and vegetation is long you can use the double sticks standing up for a precision / steady shot!!!
Have had great fun practicing on gongs standing up with them at the longer ranges!!!
All the best all...
PS............... just updated my profile to show my loacation - sorry about not doing that!!!
@mikee are you going for the meanest, nastiest bush pig award with that 375 :D Wicked :thumbsup:
