Well, I came back empty handed - had a 3 or 4 answer but no takers - too wet. So what did you come home with Westy?

Who's been a very busy bee then?

I hoped to get into town today for a spot of shopping too, but just a tad too wet. Will have to leave it for another time.

"Westy" ... Sounds like you had a great shopping day. Looking forward to hearing some reports on how the outfit performs.

123gr bullets sound a bit light for the Swede for long range..ie 500m Fly you mentioned. Try some 140gr Bergers when you get it sorted.

Glad you got the Single Set Trigger, I have mine adjusted down to about 2 ozs for target. The normal setting is around 1.5lb for hunting and I really love it. Tikka T3 Super Varmint Stock for .243W and Gunworx Benchrest F-Class Stock for 6.5x47 Lapua Target use.

Although I used the Benchrest Stock last weekend for some load development with a new, second hand .243W Barrel so it rode nice in the Farley front rest.

Congratulations!!

Ahaha :) indeed similar feeling here too..

I called WL to get an update on my PTA, the police officer first told me he havent got my PTA for amendment yet, but after ten mins he called back to inform me that he has found it and he is processing it right away, will be going for print tonight and he also said he will fax it to the dealer!

I am more than amazed with Weapon licensing, they were always helpful to me.. given my poor spoken english they have always patiently listen to me and helped me with my questions :D

Best,

Well I picked up my rifles today , trying to get the new .22 and 223 ready for this weekend. The 6.5 ended up being a Super Varmint at the same price so I'm not complaining here. The sightron scope is 2 weeks away still so it can sit in the safe till then heaps to do to get ready for this weekend.
