Good job guys. One could see, after spending a few dollars on the rifle, that that deer was going to be found lol. It was interesting to see how that new cartridge works. Seems to be the big thing these days not like the old lead flinging 308 :-)

Haha yeah, we are finally learning long range consistency doesn’t come cheap. It was heaps more fun when the army paid for it all. 550m is my longest shot on a deer with .308 but used to shoot steel out to 1km on good days with bugger all wind.

We would do a heart, kidney, liver and onions fry up. The theory was, when out in the bush for three weeks or a month at a time, they would give you all the vitamins you needed. I have no idea if this is true, but in the early 70's there was no internet to check things. We went on hearsay, for better or for worse. Come to think of it, we would also do a "Yeast Brew" to stay healthy. Again, absolutely no idea if this was grounded in any truth at all, but we drank it.

Awesome, now you have let secret out it might become a new dieting trend.

Is that the Gen 1 razor hd on that rifle? I love mine, if you can carry the extra weight it's a great piece of glass for longer shots.

Nice brother you took me for my gun license in palmy hey quick question I've just purchased a tikka 6.5prc and cutting the barrel down was going to go to 22" to keep velocity etc up but I see yours is 20" is there buggar all difference in the 2inchs. Kind regards my bro!

@Muzz308 11 ай бұрын

Hey Josh, your onto it with the less barrel less velocity. I haven't got the actual numbers and will ask Yax to reply if he's got anything. I took 2 inch off my .308 and Yax took his 7mm08 right down to a bush pig style and they both still shoot well out to 300m. But same again i don't have any numbers to back that up and they are all different calibre's so hardly comparable.

From Yax: I get 2830ft/s MV out of my 20” barrel and a mate gets 2900ft/s out of his 24” barrel both shooting ELD-X 143grn. So negligible really. Excess Powder burn off and gyroscopic stability are probably bigger considerations with a shorter barrel especially in a lighter barrel of the Stsndard Tika vs our carbon wrapped heavy barrel. Also changing barrel length will have an effect on harmonics. It’s hard to say how much it will effect the standard Tika barrel. If weight and length is a big consideration for alpine style hunting then it might be worth the risk of going right down to 20”. Otherwise he could go 22” to start with and see how it shoots compared to the 24” factory length. If it has limited effect then he could take a further 2” off it.

If you’re suppressing it the shorter barrel is obviously preferable but still a balancing act

Another great video! What does ole mate think of the Hardy rifle? They look the goods.

@Muzz308 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah bro, first impressions are good, one mate has the hybrid and this ones the Tikka build both in 6.5PRC. Still need to shoot a few more animals to confirm they are as good as we hope they are, definitely walking the talk on the range. Big $$ so i'll have to keep saving and by that time I will know if they are worth it haha.
