Running 62gr Barnes TSX in our WSSM but ya gotta seat them deep. Kills everything it is pointed at very dead. Never tried A Max. Your rig seems well balanced. Top effort.
If skimming rocks across the water doesn't satisfy you, you throw in a big one to make a splash
Hehe - I have to say after spraying .22 all over the place at the range, the .308 felt like quite a thump :pacman:
After putting 15 rounds through running the barrel in somewhat, this was my first 3 shot group (only at 25m mind - I wish I could say it was 100!) Its about 6 inches up on point of aim so am going to see how that translates to 100m. Ran out of time on sunday sadly but will get back next week. Now enough of my crappy shooting, someone post some more gun pics.Attachment 21497
Not much to brag about but pretty happy with my new Boyds stock on the 6.5. The old one was one of those crappy plastic jobbies with the disintegrating neoprene pads. Love the rifle so tarted her up with a Boyds and sealed her with 3 coats of Tru-Oil. Pretty happy :thumbsup:
The original stock:

What are ya gonna do with the plastic stock?
Dunno actually. I repair my own motorbike fairings on my Africa Twin (I ride it like a demon :) ) so I was thinking about melting it down for repair plastic. It actually snapped through the hand grip when the original owner arsed over in the bush and landed on it. I drilled from the bottom of the grip up behind the trigger and epoxied in a steel rod to rebuild it. It was fine, but just real sloppy under the barrel.
Bugger about snapping it, melt it up :)

Its still a 308 diameter:D
Shit yeah cam!!! have you shot it yet? Does this mean my project just went ahead in the cue?
Well, Cam (who convinced me up the hill on my first hunting trip in 20 years), has now has corrupted me into believing shooting is more than just paper targets and as a result I have just joined the Nelson NZDA :) Dug out my old Macpac Cascade
Then I stopped in to have a chat with Kiwi Greg about something else, As a result moved/moving on some of my other toys which weren't getting the use they deserved and the rest is at the gunsmiths................................ hopefully a nice light 6.5mm Something
Are you waiting on a 338??
I might have to get over the hill - doesn't seem to be a lot going on with the Golden Bay DA
It'll be something nice one day down the track.

My first rifle.. :D
Savage Weather Warrior in .270 thanks to @Pengy
I put it in a boyds stock and put a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x50 on it. Mark at Waitaki Engineering made the Picatinny base and supplied Burris Zee rings.
Thanks @crnkin for the Leupold Alumina caps.

Nice.
Nice one Logan. Did you keep the suppressor or flick it on ?
Love the art on the stock:thumbsup::cool:
Nice stocks, got the exact same one for my 12fvss. Did yours come with the trigger guard or did you order separately?
Here is the battered old Sako and vx6 with new shillen barrel chambered in 30-284
