best tool you have is your eyes. i do it at about 10m first and then take it to the range to check at 50m and shoot it. Seems to work for me.

Cheers Fenring. I suspected height would be an issue

Fen, can we get a close up pic of you mounting setup. I need to mount an M9 to clear a 56mm scope on the .223

looks good

i assumed he was just pulling the p*ss given the impossibility of getting Taipans

cheers Curan

Yeah Jon is great to deal with

looks good. How heavy is the stock?

be interested in what you think of it when it arrives

we have a bloke at our club who uses one for field rifle. The barrell to me looks significantly thinner than my 54 but damn it can shoot.

the straight pull makes it quick for rapid fire and doesnt have the ejection issue that plagues the 54 and 64

hey brad, what mounts you using?

cheers guys

plenty more food for thought there

yeah fair point Missed.....can see barrel lasting a number of years as would probably shoot it max 10 times a year at 42 shots = 420 plus few practice and i have 6 years life. from what i read a 204 is bit more costly to run? ALso, you suggesting 204 as it shoots flatter or what are the other advant...

Didnt even give the 204 any thought.......do they burn barrels out quickly? With a kid on the way the purse strings in this house have been tightened

Well I am thinking of starting centrefire field rifle as well.

From what I have been reading, .223 is a reasonable cartridge choice but any suggestions on rifles - remington, tikka etc

what is everyone else using?
