Heading back to Moz to get it broke in??

Cheers guys,
Would love to head back to Moz soon but more likely it will first be used as a guide gun in the Northern Territory.

Nice rifle.How many doubles do you own now and what chamberings? Is the larger action better in any way?

Not nearly enough.
Imo,The Large action gives more strength, better central balance and allowed for more taper in fore stock.

Hey Nick, how about a VC Banteng/ Buff hunt?

Good points, VCs are looking more & more like classic British doubles.

First test run with quick off hand shots at 60m producing expected results. As expected the rear leaf requires filing down from the @6 o'clock sighting"

I like the standard Recknagel fixed beed with flip up night beed and they do not come in different heights. Filling 1mm off the V is symple.
This season I will head up to the Northern Territory again.

Good going Adam

A little bit of filing on the rear sight and all shall be good mate, my VC 500 shot the same, they like the 6 o'clock hold thing at the factory.

I did insist on my 600 to shoot dead on point of aim at 50mtrs , and they did deliver it as promised.

Looking forward to seeing/shooting her!! Particularly like the splinter forend , there best effort yet!!!

Cheers

Bead on the target is my sight picture (less to think about when other thoughts are more important)

That rifle is so damn beautiful it should be a Playboy centerfold. After all, the best things come in twos.

Shooting the double;

A good average "off hand" group at 50m.
One flyer, two hand loads high ,a couple of Hornady factory loads and a coue hand loaded cup point on the mark.

Note; this rifle was regulated with Norma but shoots well with Hornady which has a velocity of around 2050fps

I love how the fore end is slimmer and like a splinter. Such a beautiful gun. If I didn't see above, how long was the wait?
