Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

My sister's rifle I've been playing around with. She bought it all new and gunstore set it up for her with a rail and rings that had the scope up stupidly high, it also had a really long suppresor on it and was quite unweildly to carry and shoot and she reckoned it was just a bit heavy all round.
Managed to pick up a stug stock for it and gave it a bit of a tidy up, dremelled the remington bedding out of it and re bedded it, epoxy repaired a big chip missing out of the fore end and chopped the heavy limbsaver off it as it had gone sticky anyhow. Did the "redband jandal pad" which actually turned out quite good if I do say so myself. Turfed the rail and put some "nikko talleys" on it and it's much nicer to handle and can get behind it much better. Suppresor went back in the cupboard and now has a radial brake on it (you only need one shot anyhow..)
Quite impressed with the little Burris fullfield 2 3-9 she had on it, glass it great for the money and it feels solid and has a nice simple holdover reticle. I've just picked up a couple boxes of Precision hunter which I'll chrono and make a chart for the reticle. Should be a decent wee Tahr (and wapiti!) slayer now.

Lucky enough to buy this unicorn back mk v stainless custom built ultralight in the mighty dirty"o" 6 ackley improved
I'll be refinishing the stock at some point. Topped off with talleys cant bubble 30mm low rings and a new GPO Centuri 2.5-15x50i courtesy of ammo direct who helped lighten my pockets to bring home 4kg of 2209 as well thankfully they are having a birthday sale today 10% off

Pretty light

Huge thanks to @Kiwi Greg for sorting out what turned out to be a chambering issue the first time round from another gunsmith and fitting the barrel for me as well!

I like it a lot. Has nice lines and with the checkering you have grip. I had the previous version as well and really liked that one too.

@Dreamer what do you think about the action port area on the tikka being opened up?

I like the aesthetics and the easier access to the action. Have had it done to a few I’ve had now.
Forgot to mention I got @robhughes-games to mill the action and flute the bolt as well. He did a great job!
