Other than Tikka or Howa :-)

[MrCarbine]

G'day
Have moved too (and changed handle)
Some of us shoot something other than Tikka or Howa. Hope you can cope with that! :P
This one is an old Steyr Model L Carbine in 22-250. It needs a little TLC but it will be a nice do everything carbine soon.
Cheers
old 7x57Mauser now MrCarbine

Looks very nice mate - with a bit of luck she will shoot well too.

[MrCarbine]

Hope so, as the saying goes "only accurate rifles are interesting rifles"

I don't even have a Tikka or Howa! Here's my Steyr Scout, 11 years old, had plenty of use before I bought it earlier this year. 308Win, with a Zeiss HD5 3.5-15x44. Replaced the stock recoil pad with a Pachmayr grind to fit and I don't feel any recoil now.



Took her to the St Marys on the weekend to do some load testing. Why is it that every time I get 4 in a 5 shot group touching I always have to do a flyer on the 5th! Anyway I'm happy

nice setups the both of them love seeing what people do with their rifles

[MrCarbine]

That's one heck of a group Bonsai. It's not only the rifle it's also the ammo and the shooter too and I think you have all three there. Well done!

Very Nice. I would have no hesitation in owning that rifle.

There's other guns ?????
Might have to look into that......

Steyer looks beautiful my friend. Recent purchase or old reliable ?

[MrCarbine]

@FanTikkaTasktik
A relatively recent acquisition. It needed some parts but she’s looking good now. If she shoots halve as good as Bonsai’s Steyr I’ll be over the moon.

I have a Thompson Centre Precision hunter in .223. Great rifle, very well made.



This was may last outing a couple of weeks ago, doing a bit of load development. 5 shots at 100M, I also dropped the last shot, bugger.

Nice little project there, love the full wood!
Keep us posted with the progress on whatever your doping with it.
