Did ye miss the 3 sarcastic roll eyes thingies?

A member on here was giving out about the .243 and was calling it a girls gun and then paulo came along and put him in his place.

Think its a great all round cal myself for shooting in Ireland.

Sweet as a nut there lad. Well wear.
Let us know how she shoots when you get a chance.

GixxerThou

Yep, didnt have paperwork through today so had to leave it there. Dom is going to shoot it in tomorrow. He has his own range at the shop in Kiltealy. Fine setup and good work, bedding is an excellent job and the cirecoat really finishes it off. The cnc machine work is so clean too.

iTom

Very nice well you may wear,happy and safe shooting with it.
Would like to see grouping from this gun.

Tackleberry.

was thinking this was going to be FLASH, but no is not what i expected, but ya its a lovely hunting rifle, my it serve you proud.

garv123

lovely looking gun. I love the look of the fluted barrels. Do they serve any other purpose besides keeping the weight down?

bazza888

thats really nice!well wear nice to see him getting into the swing of things,did he flute the barrel?

Glensman

I like how understated it is.

I would love something similar.
Best of luck with it!

Best of luck gixxer all you have to do now is learn how to shoot it. Ive shot a custom 204 of Doms and it was rediculously accurate on paper! It works fairly well on foxes too:D!!!

moby30

Nice groups , What distance ,Was that 100 or 200 yards .

GixxerThou

100 yards, these were the first groups I shot with it after shooting it in. Wind was a major factor, rifle weighs 7pounds with the scope. Built it as similar to my custom .270 as possible. I didnt want anything flash, just a highly accurate, lightweight stalking rifle that is an alternative to the .270! Always had a soft spot for .243's and always wanted a fluted kreiger barrel!

ejg

Nothing wrong with those groups.
Light, accurate and reliable is the way to go.
Hope she serves you well for years to come.

Smashing rifle and very understated.
I dig the black fluted barrel. Great idea to go custom on your meat gun .Very usable and a joy to use aswell:);

Amrgun

Great looking gun, Gixxer. Safe Shooting & Safe Shooting! If he's agreeable can you post some info. about Domnic Byrne. I'm in the market for an upgrade and I particularily like the fluted barrel's as I do a lot of walking/carrying. Thanks.

Yea have the atec off the .270 for it! Its replacing the Blaser .300 win mag I got rid off. Nothin can replace the .270, just back from a week hind shooting in Scotland in hard conditions and the 130g in .270 is definitely the daddy.

When it comes to stalking there is noting that can replace the .270 . I know you have a 6mm but when it comes to stalking the .270 it is king:)
