Topshot, nice camera work, handsome rigs. The terrain looks like it could be any number of places in the U.S.-woods/open fields & rolling hills but, I see your from Australia. Never been there, hope to go, Ive seen many a documentary filmed there-beautiful and unique. Were the pics taken there?

Is that the 30 inch barrel + the brake? What's the OAL on your rifle?

Chas,

The photo's were taken on the lawn, just out my back door. I live on a farm and from the spot where the rifle is sitting I shoot down the back yard to a steel gong set up at 440 yards. It is very handy for practise when ever I feel the need.
You can see from the photo that it is a bit warmer here than it is over there in the U.S. at the monent! Although we can hunt all year round, I have finished hunting for the year due to the heat and snakes, so I am doing some load developement work in readyness for next year.



Mrlinsky,
Yes, 30" barrel plus the Clancy brake screwed onto the end.
The brake is similar to the Sako TRG type brake and works very well. The .338 Edge kicks a heck of a lot less than the Tikka .338WM in the other photo.
The OAL of the rifle is just a tad under 52 inches. This is handy as it just fits into a 52" gun case.
