Recieved my FAC at the beginning of 2008, along with my own stalking permission and just prior to recieving my DSC1, I purchased the following: Tikka T3 Stainless Synthetic (LH) in 6.5 x 55 Screw cut with an ASE Utra Jet-Z CQB Docter Optic 3-12 x 56 Nosler Partition 140gr Got my first Roe Buck last month. Like the soft recoil and accuracy. Looking forward to reloading the lighter varmint bullets. cheers Stu |

Hi Guys I use a .243 Sabbatti with PES T12 over barrel mod, very quiet. Swarovski 8x50 scope (bought off my good friend John Robbo) Ammo wise I am using 100gr Privys accurate round and good brass for homeloading. I love this setup as its low kick and quiet, mods a bit heavy but not a major prob. Them ammo rounds of yours look very sexy Mr Robbo should be rated explicit does that make me sad????
