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

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 *kiss2* *lol* *lol* does that make me sad???? *aaaa*
