Re: Quad bike exhausts

If the outer of the original exhaust is OK and it is just the baffles that are buggered this might be a good option.https://www.atvsilencer.com/the-silent- ... select=419

Re: Sako 85 Sporter .204 Review with a Swarovski chaser!!!!!

Lovely Rifle Scope Write up Pics Seriously a fantastic review. The Berger 35`s seem to shoot very well in your rifle did you run them over chrono ? I think you made the right choice in calibre but maybe not the case to drive it :shock: :stir: 28.5gr’s of 8208 behind the 35 Bergers leave the muzzle ...

Re: Sako 85 Sporter .204 Review with a Swarovski chaser!!!!!

Well make sure you talk to our guys down there first we might be able even better a price match... you never know. Muzio usually looks after me :wink: When you buy a couple of thousand CCI BR4 primers at $100 - 1000 and then your mate rings you the next day and says he just bought 3000 for $58 per ...

Re: Sako 85 Sporter .204 Review with a Swarovski chaser!!!!!

Hi Mate, Excellent write up and beautiful set up! Did you get this from Abelas or just the ammo? (I know that price tag on the ammo from anywhere haha) Most of my gear I buy from "O'Riellys"/ Abelas at least that is at the moment as some of the prices can be matched and beaten in many loc...

Sako 85 Sporter .204 Review with a Swarovski chaser!!!!!!!!!

I have now had this rifle for a little over a month and over the last week I have really put it through its paces. So for those that are interested I thought I would put forward my opinions so far. I will break it down into four main points: - The rifle - The overall scope/rifle combination - The Ca...

Re: Tikka single set trigger

I have a Set Trigger on my Sako 75 and it is fantastic but as mentioned you might be in for a big surprise when you get a price. I can tell you now that the Sako set trigger is over $650 when you buy it seperately :shock: I don't think the Tikka set Trigger will be much cheaper :(

My "Go To" Rifle

As I haven't been on this site for some time I thought I would share the love with some of my posts from elsewhere. Some may have already seen this before but it may give some ideas to others. For those that know me they realise that I don’t like to leave any stone unturned. As I had only recently p...

Re: Splitting .17 HMR cases.

Usually more of a problem with the cheaper rifles that don't have the tighter tolerances of some of the more expensive rifles. Sometimes it is the luck of the draw when you buy your rifle. It is the same with barrels. Loose chambers are usually the cause of splitting cases on rimfires. :( I did find...

Re: Browning "T-Bolt Sporter 17 HMR" First Impressions

Werribee the scope on my T-bolt is a Kahles 6x42. I have a Kahles 8x56 on my Sako 222 which has spent a bit of time in the safe as late. My T-bolt with the kahles on it is half a pound lighter than my mates boys T-bolt Varminter with the Alloy Swarovski.

Re: Browning "T-Bolt Sporter 17 HMR" First Impressions

While I am here I will also leave a little bit of an update. On seeing how well my T-Bolt shot my mate has decided to buy his son the varmint timber version. He had a Older Swarovski 10x42 that he has put on it. We went away for a weekend shot a couple of weeks ago. My mate and his son roled up to c...

Re: Browning "T-Bolt Sporter 17 HMR" First Impressions

Sorry boys I've been a little slow on the return messages. Keith they are priced on either side of $1200 depending on where you buy and by all means do with the review as you will. :idea:

Browning "T-Bolt Sporter 17 HMR" First Impressions

Well for those of you that don’t know, I have been tossing up the idea of purchasing a 17hmr for some time now well actually about 2-3years. As I do a great deal of spotlighting rabbits and foxes off my ATV my dilemma has always been do I take the 222 with the spotlight on top or the 22. Both Rifles...

Re: seating depth

General rule of thumb for hunting loads. Minimum seating depth should be the same as the calibre dimensions. IE: .22 cal min 5.5 mm seating depth.
