    I like the look of those tikka super varmit stocks,
    Does the point of impact change at all when you shoot of a bipod
    and do you find the adjustable cheekpiece comfortable ?
    the barrel is fully free floated, so there is absolutely no change in poi. the cheek piece allows me to have a much more solid cheek weld, and is a lot more comfortable when it is adjusted so that my cheekbone rests on it, compared to having it close to the stock where my cheek bone is up off the stock in order to see through the scope. i'm actually so used to it now that i find using my friends cz wierd as i don't feel like my face is held against the stock as solidly without the adjustable cheekpiece.

    i shot many deer/Goats and A few foxes with my old Mauser.

    I had three dowells drilled and tied together with builders line as a Tripod.
    I could hit bunnies out to 200+ Yards with a cheapo scope.

    It pis*ed me off in teh end as it was heavy and the tripod often fell over at a crucial moment.

    I wish I could have held on to it for Vintage shoots though!

    The Pistol Grip was a Retro Fit. She's a 1910 model Carl Gustof. She is missing timber off the forend in pic. I installed a Timney Trigger and did not put the timber back on. Back in the day Mausers were as popular as LE's are today in Ireland.

    It was done locally. Beech I think it was made out of. I traded her against a Sako 75. She was very accurate. Way more accurate than a .303 lol. (although U could not get one back then)

    it kills me to say it but it shoots much better than i ever will ,,
    we have gotten 1 inch groups at 250meters
    all that lets the combo down is me

    any chance you can send a PM and let me know who did the work
    personally i would go for a mauser over a LE any day
    i am espically fond of the konsberg

    would love to attend a vcrai shoot and see some of the rifles those lads have

    It's almost 10 years since I owned that rifle.

    It was 3/4" @200 with Lapua ammo 108 grain 6.5

    Several guys had them and shot well with them.
    You probably don't remember as you were not a member of Midlands then and VCRAI did not exist ;)

    You don't have to be a member of midlands to shoot well and I remember bunny knocking around out there a good few years now.

    I was there when it opened it's doors ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,795 ✭✭✭fish slapped


    And does this mean you shoot better or have more experience than a person that wasn't??

    I think not. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,590 ✭✭✭Tackleberrywho


    And does this mean you shoot better or have more experience than a person that wasn't??

    I think not. :D

    My Point was
    Prior to all the Lee Enfields
    The Mauser was the Irish Classic Rifle of choice.
    Nothing else.

    If you were a long time member you would remember that.
    Mausers are more accurate in 6.5x55SE than LE .303 Standard infantry rifle
    That is what I was saying.

    Folk wanted .303's because A ammo is cheaper and B because they fired them as part of the DF back in the day.

    The 6.5x55se was Popular prior to the .303/.308 .30-06 etc coming on stream here.
    When there was more availability they faded from favour/fashion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,795 ✭✭✭fish slapped


    I'm there long enough to remember the 150 yard backstop for the hornet boys and the CZ Silhouette with the leapers scopes coming and going.

    And yes the Mauser was well liked and still is.

    All I'm saying is, if thats the point you wished to make, why not say it instead of speaking in riddles which could be mistaken as snide remarks.

    Point of Fact,
    I did not start a slagging match.
    I showed a picture of my old rifle to a guy who uses one similar.
    Someone else tried to lower the tone.

    I don't speak in riddles, however I do reply smartly to a smart remark (I should rise above and ignore)

    And why are you assuming my current .303 is my first classic rifle :confused:
    .............Mausers are more accurate in 6.5x55SE than LE .303 Standard infantry rifle
    That is what I was saying........

    Well your WRONG !!!!!! Ask what rifle won the Classic rifle shoot in Midlands on Sunday and what came second the next time you're there :D And there was at least one CG63 Mauser and at least one Infantry Mauser being fired :P Funny, I didn't see you at this comp :confused:

    For your info a Lee Enfield in .303 came 1st & 2nd and a Garand in .308 came 3rd :)

    And if you have a look on the VCRAI site you'll see Lee Enfields regularly beat Mausers :)

    And AFAIK the only reason the Mauser was the rifle of choice was because the DOJ refused to licence Lee Enfields in .303 up to very recently.

    I too remember the 150 yard backstop. Was great for the Hornet :)

    The only person who lowers the tone around here is you with your continous stupid comments that only serve to prove you have no idea what you're talking about most of the time and when you're proven wrong you continue to dig the f***ing hole !

    I'm certainly not slagging anyone merely observing an inability to state/communicate the desired information in a clear and concise manner.

    How you accept or react to constructive feedback is up to you.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,590 ✭✭✭Tackleberrywho


    Hi Vermin Hunter

    I went 24" as I felt 26" was just to long for field conditions.

    I am very happy with accuracy to date during the run in 40 rounds.

    It was a horrible day today to try it out properly.

He also imported (normally I import my own guns myself to save hassle and actually get the gun at R.R.P) the FMP for me as he was such a gentleman to deal with and bang on the money with his prices.

    The recoil impulse on those roller locked rifles feels weird to me.
    as the rollers unlock and the bolt travels back there's enough of a delay that it feels to me like the rifle "doubles".

    Ive been called alot of closet things ... but never closet Airsofter (thankfully)

    Groups, with mil surp ammo and a hangover shell shoot a 2" group (or slightly under). Id expect after a trigger job, Scope and decent ammo that will drop to 1" or slightly under.

    As some of ye will know I finally got my licence for my Accuracy International, just 2 weeks short of a year :eek::rolleyes:

    So here she is:

    DSC00310.jpg

    DSC00308.jpg

    I thought this was fairly good at 100 meters with cheap milsurp ammo:

    DSC00307.jpg

    Then I went to 300 meters with a 10 mph right to left tricky cross wind and again cheap milsurp ammo and she did this:

    DSC00320.jpg

    DSC00321.jpg

    Thats less than an inch@ 300, so I'm a happy camper... I'll have to get some lapua or HPS :D:D:D
