    Nice Maca49. Weather the sling so it looks more in character with the rifle.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yes it could do with some use. Aged patina would be good. Got some 85 grain to put thru it this weekend may have shoulder reconstruction coming up

    New optics for GSG-5

    I added Aimpoint Micro 2MOA with Daniel Defense mount for my GSG-5. I tried to fasten Aimpoint without DD-mount, but it was too low. Even my wife accepted higher setup .

    I´ve replaced fake suppressor with real one, which use original threads but it is 12 cm longer than the fake one. Barrel shortening was not an option due to Finnish gun laws.

    That's a ridiculously long suppressor for a .22

    I decided I wanted a very lightweight general purpose hunting rifle that has more grunt than my 6.5wsm, for everything from bush to 6-700 yards.

    I have successfully shot the 120 GMXs out past 1000 yards with the wsm & VX3 CDS so that got the thought process well underway



    It currently weighs 2.880 kgs, 6.35lbs all up as shown in the pics.

    I'm waiting for an even lighter stock with a better recoil pad

    It is a Titanium action with 24" Lilja fluted barrel in 7-375 Ruger, Talley rings & VX3 4.5-14x40 CDS scope.



    It happily pushes the 162 Amaxs at 3150 fps, it will go harder but I want to take it easy on the brass & action, Titanium is softer than SS & won't last forever.....

    Recoil is quite brisk....



    I'm looking forward to getting the replacement stock, bedding it & assulting some rocks etc getting to know how it works.

    I don't think my shoulder is though
