    Love to know how ye guys get those nice pictures through your scopes. I always make a balls of it, and all you see is a black ring.

    That's a goof point actually, anyone have an attachment for their phone or is the field of view and eye relief on the scope just really, really good? :D

    That 682 Gold E sporter, drooooool

    If a lad was looking for a TRG bi-pod does anyone know where he'd look?

    Now that I found a replacement for photobucket.... a few recent rifles/stocks.

    T3 Lite in Multipurpose Carbon stock.

    Prototype experiment of a possible new sporter stock. Handles very nice, just testing if we need to tweak anything. Cheek raiser and position taken over from an E-Tac4 stock design. T3 Lite.

    You can buy from Sako, Beretta, and a few other places. They're not actually hard to get but for me then and even now there is no way i'd hand out over €450 ($500) for a bipod. The Harris on the TRG done the job perfectly and was a fifth of the price.

    I know it sounds odd whinging over the bipod price when the rifle, rings, rail and scope cost over €6,000 but there is buying good quality stuff and then there is buying over priced stuff just to have it. I'm for the former, not the latter.

    After what seems like a lifetime, well 8 months, S&W Victory finally arrived. Getting firearms
    out of the USA seems to be getting more and more difficult these days.

    3m0.jpg

    Got it home and installed the following bits and pieces

    Volquartsen Picatinny Scope Rail
    Volquartsen Edge Extractor
    Volquartsen iFluted SS Barrel with Compensator
    Tandemkross Victory Trigger
    Tandemkross Upgraded Mag Disconnect
    Tandemkross Extended Mag Release
    Tandemkross Extended Mag Base Pads
    Tandemkross Halo Charging Ring
    Altamount Walnut Grips

    And finally stuck a Vortex Vemon Red Dot on top, ready to hit the range at the weekend.

    Cheers


  • Registered Users Posts: 519 ✭✭✭PSXDupe


    Bought the pistol from a dealer here and source the parts for a couple of places.

    Gorgeous rifle :)
    I've only ever shot .22 here, 9mm pistol and .223 in the states. What's the recoil like on a 6.5? Living in Meath I'm too far from midlands to justify the membership and cost of a big rifle for very occaisonal trips down :(

    A bit more than a .223, bit less than a .308. Very manageable though. If you can happily shoot a .223, you'll be grand with the 6.5 CM. I've never shot a 6.5 Swede though, so can't comment on them. Fairly popular round here. There are quite a few 6.5 calibers. Each with their own characteristics.

    One lad in Midlands gave me a few shots off his 7mm Rem Mag. It was a light enough hunting rig as well. That gave me a fair thump in the shoulder.

    Very nice! Did you notice much in the way of accuracy improvement?
    How do you find the scs buttstock? I wanted that one but thought once I get setup I probably won't use most of the adjustments so the scs lite would be better for me.

    I've not had much in the was of practice with the new chassis but the little that i did found it quite comfortable and bang on.

    The Martini was used in a recent rebellion so has that !!!
