groach1234 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) Well after getting my variation back earlier in the week i spent a few days ringing around shops to see who had what in stock and who could get me what at what price. Anyway today was the day i was to strike and ended up buying a gun from one shop and a scope from another. I left home at 10 for the 1 hour trip up to Northalerton shooting supplies as they had the gun i was after in stock. Its a stainless synthetic tikka t3 in 6.5x55 and was picked up at a very reasonable price and was on the one hour drive home. I was at home got a quick drink and was off to York guns to pick up a second hand S&B hungarian in 8x56 along with all the other bits like sling, slip, ammo and cleaning stuff . They fitted it to the rifle as i had brought it with me and even bore sighted it in for me. I will be out tomorrow to zero it properly. Anyway im happy as a dog with to ***** and love it. I have got it and it will be ready for my stalking trip to scotland next saturday George Edited July 30, 2010 by groach1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Nice one Have the same set-up in .243 (with a T8) and before I got it figured I'd upgrade to something a bit tastier later on. Given the way it shoots though I really can't justify doing so so plan on keeping this for the forseeable. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
