celticrusader 78 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 What you looking for?, anything specific or just generally looking around and not decided yet Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 What you looking for?, anything specific or just generally looking around and not decided yet Looked at an A bolt and cz527 both synthetic, thought both was lacking in quality a bit. But well priced. I like the Tikka t3 lite and Browning X bolt in stainless. I thought I was going to find a bargain second hand set up but there isn't much about, Most second hand stuff in the shops is not much cheaper than buying new... Like the look of the tikka burris combo..For £1480 But would I be just as happy with an A bolt for £530 and a £200 Nikkon.... Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I've been offered a millett 6x24x56 for 200 notes, who knows anything about them? Quote Link to post
Terryorr 27 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hello, my mate has a Howa .223 and has no problem with it at all. The complete package ie rifle, scope and moderator can be bought new for less than £1,000 Quote Link to post

DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 After days of searching I found something I liked on guntrader, Tikka T3 lite in stainless with a cheap hawke 3x9x50IR, leupold mounts and a PES mod... £650. In bloody good condition. Probably put a better scope on it in a few weeks time. Better than weighing out £1500! Keeps the misses happy and all that... 2 Quote Link to post
celticrusader 78 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yep certainly is , my mate has a hawke 3-9 on his .223 Aug and its good enough for a starter so no rush if you ain't got a better one. 1 Quote Link to post

Terryorr 27 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 You picked up a bargain there mate, nothing wrong with Tikka T3 2 Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Put a few through it later, results to follow Quote Link to post
ianm 2,594 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Good rifle at a good price, you can't go wrong with Tikka. I'll be interested to hear what you make of the pes mod. I had one that came with a .204 and only used it once then got something that worked. Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Bloody hell, must have been shot out then, I have a t12 on my .243 and it is just about the best moderator I have encountered, I had the PES/MAE small cf 8" on my .22 hornet and that was brilliant too Quote Link to post
