I will be looking to reload yeah, probably starting with a lee kit and upgrading from there.

Thanks everyone for your help, as much as the 7mm-08 is a different round and great for hunting and silhouette I think the bonus of. 243 with my buddy having the same, reloading costs etc the. 243 seems to benefit that way. Is there any major advantage of getting a swede or 7mm-08? Other than the. 2...

Fair call- I have the Howa stock now and it's heavy as! Either way it will be upgraded as the funds build up! Just saying that after market stock wise there is alot more for the tikka from what I've seen

It wont be for the kids or wife, unless she wants to come out on a trip with me! The Tikka and Howa these days are on par with the tikka being only $100 more and both are accurate out of the box from what I have seen. The 7mm-08 sparks my interest purely from a longer range stand point, the only neg...

I have sold my trusty howa .223, purely as I have been invited up into goat country and wanted something a little larger, more of a all-rounder. As is stands I have a .22 and 17hmr and .22 air rifle. I am looking at three calibres. .243 - My hunting buddy has this also so if there is already one on ...

Thanks Mick for the projectile!
This key ring is for my hunting rig, a 1984 toyota hilux, single cab soon to be v6!

Thanks heaps again!

I am looking for someone who can send me 1 projectile that will fit into a 300 win mag cartridge. Reason why is that I have a spent cartridge that I want to make into a keying. Just don't want to spend $5.00 on a keyring when I have everything but a projectile at home. Is this possible or is it actu...

I ended up getting the Sniper II - your right about the pressure switch thing., I couldnt figure out how to change brightness - even had to ring up and ask haha

just a quick question for any one that knows (sorry to hijack thread).

are the howas free floating?

Im still waiting for my PTA to arrive for my Howa 1500 .223 as well!
little jealous you have yours!

the gun that I have decided to get with a varmint barrel and in .223

the scope that was suggested to me was the leupold I 3-9x50

Thanks for all the replies! I think i will go for the .204 so thanks for that one now only a few more choices left! I am still getting used to all the terms so a few questions 20cal? .204 is the caibre right? Sounds like the Howa is the way to go, any reason for this? im not sure what the talon stoc...

After searching the forums and reading alot of posts I still can not decide on what gun to get. I have been shooting for about a year now using a Pump action shotgun and a .22 single shot (yes very old!) I mainly shoot Yorke peninsula in South Australia but will be heading to Murray bridge area this...
