Nice. Best Howa mini I've seen!
Hunter_Nick - is that the BSA from Kaikoura H&F ?? I looked at one done like that a long time ago there . . . if it is the same one I'd shoot it first, the barrel looked like it'd shoot to me . . . .
30-06's slightly bigger cousins are great too, 8mm-06, 35 Whelan and 9.3x62 (a yank/kraut cross, full yank and purebred Kraut) - authoritative would be the word, now watch some bugger come along and...
Nice - good to see Santa being good to Santa haha. We'll require a report on how it shoots . . .
Hey - thats only one picture, we need a bunch more before its believable!!
Just a box would be great, I only need a couple to check point of impact then the rest can be stashed in my daypack (as long as I don't try and take it to Aussie as a carry-on bag without thoroughly...
The chambering is not original . . . the originals were 250-3000, 8x51, 6.5x54 Mauser (not the same as 6.5x54 MS) and 8.15x46 among others. My one originally was 250-3000 but the barrel was very...
Bought secondhand of TM, I got a bit lucky I think as its a hard rifle to photograph well, the stock is a surprisingly nice bit of dark hard walnut - consequently its a tad heavier that they are...
A 223 has joined the merry band of Mausers that reside in my cabinet - and its set to become a full team member despite its modest beginnings in life.
Top is the Brno Model 21/German barreled 8x57...
Well that was worth waiting to see, a superb "re purpose" of what I take is a ZG47 ??
Nice madjon_ .
If anybody is interested I know of a Anschutz "meistergrade" model 1770 in 223 that is coming up for sale . . . .
And it shoots just fine, 170gn SST's .323 boat-tails @2680 fps (through a long throated .320 barrel) are just plunking into nice consistent 3 shot groups 30-35mm at 100M - for me thats minute of Tahr...
Better put this up here as a thanks to all those guys who help others out . . . this is a work in progress, I'd like to get nicer rings and a more appropiate scope at some stage. It will also...
Hey Ryan - congratulations on your first real rifle (well the first I've seen you post), don't keep it too long or you'll get addicted to blued steel, walnut, possibly stutzen stocks, and the like. ...
They are nice rifles, I had mine rebarrelled with SS too, and sold it cause I didn't like the look of the result . . . . and then found out about the Ceracoat!! Bugger.
You could get it ceracoated, its possible to match bluing pretty closely, and much improves the "look" of the rifle
Nice. Ruger. Nice. Shooting. Nice. Bear (Borwn or Black??)
Nice - Always good to see the pics, I think that the more use you have on a Blued Steel and Walnut rifle the better it looks, Stug's 9.3x62 being a case in point, it was carried a lot in Rhodesia and...
