    Growing to dislike long rifles so the 7-08 barrel was sent up to DPT and 3 and a bit inches removed.

    Very good job with tidy threads and crown. Let's see if the old load will shoot or if it needs work.

    Close enough to 19". Was 555mm or 21.9" (standard non-mag barrel).

    Maybe get Abe to make you up a tac knob for your bolt.
    Will speed up cycling a bit.

    Hearing a lot of good things about the HD 5. Have you used it much? German built one eh?

    This one is brand new mate.
    I've shot plenty of animals with my other one.
    The glass is very crisp, I'd rate it between the z5 and z6, they dial reliably, have zero stop, 18 moa a turn heaps for the real world.My only dislike is the locking turrets they are big, no drama for a bunny gun.
    Yes made in Germany.
    Yes I'm after a tac bolt knob.

    Cheers heaps for the offer but I head away for a month on wed.
    Besides the mount might seize up after I put it on my rifle😆

    Cheers again.

    Very nice!!

    If it's the one from tardme then I was trying to bid against you but the purse strings would not open far enough!

    A mate has one that with handloads shoots way better than some would believe, and it's just cool.

    Got a Boyds Rimfire Hunter stock for the ol' 10/22



    It's a shame that it shoots like absolute garbage now, time to get out the Devcon

    I've got an HD5 3-15. Great 'scope, and the thing that I really like is that the turrets are calibrated in pounds, shilling and pence and not this crazy new decimal system.
