Thanks. Got Blackhawk on Ebay from states. Had a Tikka supervarmint before with adjustable cheek piece and got used to it, so I new that will need cheek pad for Tikka Lite with 56 mm objective scope. This is realy good quality one imo, and fits me perfect.

Cheers mate. Well we did a test with my local rfd and couple lads firing the 243 with T8 and than Maxim. T8 was small bit quieter, but the difference in size, material and weight in between them two made my decision easy. Maxim all the way.

Got the shroud and bolt handle here:

But you can by them on Ebay as well. Same great quality from HSS.

zlezlius, thats a lovely Tikka and its kitted out neatly. The bolt handle is sweet too. 20inch barrel is hard bet including the factory thread.

Gave a respray to my mossberg since it had seen much better days.

A fine 1911, excellent out of the box trigger, adjustable rear and TruGlow front sights, nice beaver tail, good grip, feels like a 1911 should, a very fine shooter. Shot a magazine of my .45 ACP 230 gr hardball factory duplication loads going about 850 fps w/ hands on the bench w/o pistol rest or sandbag at 25 yd, typical of what it is capable of. The flyer is my flinch. Nice tight fit of barrel & bushing makes for consistent groups.

Lovely looking pistol. what calibre is it?

EWQuinn

.45 ACP, sorry I did an edit and added that.

Yes I think Remington has a real hit from the buzz around the gun shops. Everybody I know who has one likes it. I have this and a Kimber Target and this is just as good or better. You can pay a LOT more for similar looks and performance. There was some discussion I saw on internet about loose fitting, but this one is tight and all of them I have held have been tight. I guess if I found one with a loose slide I would not nec be concerned.

The 1911's we had in the Army were rattle traps, but as long as they were consistent in barrel bushing lock up and the barrel & link were good, they shot well. I took second in 2matches with my ancient Remington-Rand WWII era beater right out of the arms room and you could keep time to a Mariachi band with that one.

garv123

Nicee.. Never seen them all black before. looks great.
Would love to get one sometime. Are you keeping the iron sights on it?


By the way when it comes out upside down on image shack and you rotate it you must click on replace original to save it.

i thought it was time i got rid of the synthetic stock and replaced it with a thumbhole laminate one from boyds. it's the lightweight model so it weighs the same as the synthetic but has a much nicer feel. being the first stock i've purchased from boyds i was really impressed with the quality of the item, value for money and having bought it on a sunday evening i was astonished to have it arrive friday morning. all that had to be done was a small amount of sanding to open up the barrel channel for the varmint barrel. delighted with the end result

Silver scope and it would be the dogs boll0x

Garv, just in case, the rifle belongs to juice1304, I just righted the photo. Yep now the traditional lever actions are offered with the "tactical" look. I think its kind of cool. Looks like it'll get a scope. Assume with the right mounts one might be able to use iron to stop a charging deer

Ty, yes i'm going to leave the iron sights on it and i am also going to get a scout scope with quick release mounts that way i have the best of both worlds i can use the scope on the hills and the iron sights in the woods. Obviously no long shots either way, that is what i was looking for though hopefully it'll make me better at stalking if not i'll be going hungry.:D

You've actually made it left-handed in the process.

Where did you get the cheek riser and how much did it cost?

It's a blackhawk cheek pad, got it off a friend of mine who actually sells them.

License for my cz .204 arrived today so collected it and mounted my scope, hopefully the weather will clear up and i'll get it zeroed over the weekend,

Happy with the setup but would love to change the t4 for something lighter and smaller

declan1980

That's a sweet rig there lad. You'll do some damage with that

I recognise that rig, in fact that used to be my bolt handle, how do you find it?

ormondprop

Haven't got to shoot it yet but just playing around with it i like it, lovely trigger on it, bolt is a bit sticky though if you dont open or close it exactly straight, i just hope it shoots good

Yes the bolt can be a bit fiddly on the CZ527s, you have to push it with your thumb on the bolt rather than the bolt handle. I personnally found the standard bolt to be better than the tactical, but that was just my preference coz I was using my rifle for hunting the whole time. Had that particular handle made by Roedale precision he was a nightmare to deal with, its a nice set up good luck with it.
