First precision rifle *UPDATED WITH RANGE REPORT*

[Fenix.NZ]

well here it is..

the title is actually a lie, i have had a bolt gun before that did pretty good.. but was more of a hunting rifle.

but anyways here it is

Howa 1500 in .223 wearing a Leatherwood 4-16x50 dress
the weird little metal bits on the elevation turret are presettable elevation tabs ( so you can preset elevation or for certain loads )
and with its Versapod shoes

havent had a chance to fire it yet :'(

Nice setup! I have to google that scope now, looks interesting.

 

[CyaN1de]

Nice lookin rig.

Is that a factory Howa stock?

You'll have to give us a range report when you get it out.

I agree with Bush Man, looks like an interesting scope.

Is the off axis dial for parallax adjustment?

 

[Fenix.NZ]

it sure is, it works pretty well too, which suprises me because its not an expensive optic.

on par with falcon

and i know i should of spent a little more. but i wanted to try it out as nooone could tell me about Leatherwood ( most would take that as a bad sign.. but me being me, ignored the ill omen and went ahead )

 

[Obtunded]

Is that one of those New Zealand Dingos in the background? Is that a single shot action or a mag feed?

 

[Fenix.NZ]

haha yeah can you see how vicious it is

and its a mag fed , 4+1

I would recommend the Tikka varmint in 308 and buy a good second-hand rifle scope.

Yes, there are a lot of "what should I buy for my first precision rifle" threads.

This is not one of them.

Think yourself lucky. They never cease to dissapiont me!

Very nice rifle btw. I particularly like stock. Oh and say hello to my cousin Lindsey Bell next time you see her. Shes over in TiKuwitii.

cheers.

 

[Fenix.NZ]

for real ? some of my best friends are from TK !
is she between the ages of 18 and 25 ? single ? double D's ? just kidding

 

[warrenb]

She's mid 30's and unless the NZ water has done something then no, no DD's.

If you do know people from TK she may go by her husbands name, Pooley.

cheers.
