    DIY RokStok in maple

    Most certainly will be stronger and more stable. How it looks totally depends on the beholder I think. If it’s functional and hammers, then what’s not to like?

    Shot placement with .223

    Perfect! Thanks very much

    Shot placement with .223

    Thank you good sir. Just because I’m pre dominantly a visual learner, is this what you mean?

    Shot placement with .223

    So I’m trying to optimise my hunting game, am an interested in specific shot placement that achieves the best results on game (fastest incapacitation). What do you guys with lots of data find is the best placement? Looking at you here @Formidilosus Is there a favourite location to put the...

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    It’s a Hardy barrel. Despite some bad press from the past, I’m really happy with the product and service. The 88’s will be doing 300.8k rpm so should be fine.

    And it freakin hammers too! Did the load dev in the morning, and went and shot a deer that night.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    A combination of old school and new school and now I’m part of the crowd. I had the barrel taken off my .358 Win and replaced with an 18” 1-7 twist barrel chambered in 22 CM. I wasn’t using the .358 because the recoil was fairly brutal and it didn’t kill anything faster than the .223 did. The...

    Maven RS1.2 back in stock

    I think I saw these in stock for what- a day? Thankfully mine were pre-ordered with the Australasian distributor, hopefully my two turn up soon!

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    That’s a pretty sick looking setup, very nice!

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Unfortunately it appears that @Tahr post has been taken out of context. I know that he shoots a LOT of deer with multiple .223’s and has been doing so for a number of decades. I can’t speak for the exact number, but I’d expect several hundred, if not a thousand. Based on the vast data set that...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    I’m interested in this too @Formidilosus I gave up cleaning barrels some time ago, but where I live the average relative humidity is 81%. Is there a legitimate concern with a barrel being put away ‘dirty’ and the burnt powder residue attracting moisture and causing corrosion in my stainless...

    Upgrade from 6.5cm

    After pulling apart the last 1/2 dozen deer I’ve killed, I’ve decided that the 6.5cm has more ‘killing efficiency’ than actually required. So…. I’ve been tossing up between having a new barrel in either 22cm or 6cm put on the tikka. I’m happy that the 22 will give me all the ‘killing...

    Are those gum trees in the background? Might just be me, but that looks like an Aussie backdrop…..

    Thanks for your straight up opinion @Castle Rock Sounds like it’s backed up with a fair bit of experience too.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    Hey guys, looking for some advice, or perhaps confirmation of my thinking…. I currently shoot 2 Tikkas a .223 and a 6.5cm, and have been thinking about re-barrelling the 6.5 to 22cm. From what I’ve picked up from @Formidilosus and others comments, the 22cm has a number of advantages: 1. Longer...

    DIY RokStok in maple

    Nice! I’m just finishing a stock for a friends Howa .308, and it’s coming out at just on 1kg (35oz) I also built a .358 Winchester for myself that came out at 7 1/2lb all up. Done right, a wood rifle can be surprisingly light!

    DIY RokStok in maple

    Hey @Mtnmilsurp nice work. Have you weighed the stock? What did it come in at? I’m thinking of making a walnut Rokstock for my tikka, getting one out of the US is prohibitively expensive. I’m a professional stock maker, so should be able to knock one up pretty quick. ‘Classic’ stockwork can be...

    Asked them about it, but they won’t deal direct unfortunately. I’m probably going to build my own to be fair. I’m a stock maker in my spare time, so won’t be hard.

    KRG Bravo Opinions

    @Dobermann turns out getting a Rokstock here is possible, but hideously expensive. I contacted UM who put me onto a supplier in Aussie, but unfortunately by the time the stock made it to me the price tag had gone from $495 USD to about $1300 USD ($2200 NZD). I’m sure it’s a great stock, but...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Thanks! This is my ‘backyard’ - it ended up just being a three day trip as I got the stag on the second day. We have no season and no limits here so the opportunities are almost endless…. Plus great track networks and public hut access makes for great outdoor adventures! Nothing poisonous to...
