StefanTrip of my life gettig closer!
At Oct. 18 I�m leaving Sweden for a two month trip down under
The main object of the trip is to participate in the benchrest world championships in Nelson, New Zealand.
After the WBC is done I�m doing some hunting in N.Z for Gems, Thar and mabye some deer and wild boars. I hope to do some trout fishing as well.
At Nov. 13 I�m going to Sidney and continue my trip in Australia. There will be some hunting and benchrest shooting there to. I�m going to shoot my first 1000 y BR match ever in Camberra Nov 25.
The flight home is sceduled to Dec 17 from Sidney.
I think I will enjoy this trip....... a lot!

Tombo21Two months!!!! WOW!! Aren't you breaking a hallowed tradition in Sweden by not taking your vacation in July? Sounds like a lot of fun though! How long have you been setting this up? You must have been planning this trip for a long time.
Have a terrific time! Hopefully we can talk some while I am in Umea.

StefanThe trip have been planned for some two years now
Yes the vacation month here in Swe. is july. I�ve not had a single day of my vacation days this year yet (have some saved from last year as well). I�m getting quite fed up of working, but there is a light in the end of the tunnel now
I�ll contact your friend in Bygde� and arrange a meeting during next week!
Isn�t the internet a faboulus thing after all!

I�m bringing a Sako 591 chambered for a 6,5 wildcat. Home made carbon/glass stock and a Leupold 4,5-14 on top.

I like to wish a good neighbor all the best for the upcoming championship and the trip down south. Used to spend quite a few summers in the Ume� / Pite� / �-vik area when the kids was small. Really nice and hot summers there.
All the best from across the border, Arild

StefanThank�s Arild!
Ume� is ruffly inbetween Pite� and �-vik so you probably have been here several times!
To bad there isn�t any Norwegians going for the WBC this time.
Mats.
Exactly
The case have a "6 BR" shape, 51 mm long. The volume is close to 6,5X55. There is no problem shooting 140 gr. bullets at 850 m/s.
