Thanks, I am very happy with the quality of the T3x CTR's. Very close in performance to a custom rifle.

Some of my pictures are taken in County Kerry but we live in West Cork Ireland.

The Kahles is equally good but somewhat larger and heavier. The 3-20 mag range is suited better to our type of hunting.  The 6.5-20×50 Conquest on my 22-250 also has exceptional glas and is my favourite for a lightweight rig which performs well day and under the lamp.
Was checking drops and plinking at rocks out to 500-600m yesterday with the CTR.

In the meantime I have dropped 4 deer between 130m – 380m with the rifle. The two Sika hinds were taken at 230m and 250m uphill. It can happen that take out a few deer if possible and the standard 3 cartridge mag is not what I like. All my other rifles have AI type mags.

I fitted/bedded the Mag System with about 0.1mm play so that it is “field… Read more

Finally managed to fire the first few shots today. The rain cleared for a little while but wind was still up. I tried 3 loads that I use in my other rifles. Between wind a horrible cold I couldn't get the crosshairs completely settled. At least the rifle is zeroed with my standard 168 a-max and wasn't too bad with 155's. The 155.5 Bergers seem… Read more

Larkin, since years I am of the opinion that the 5-25 is optically overrated, possibly the worst out of the PMII range. Some others that I looked through seemed fantastic and I was promised the 3-20 ultra short to test which I am really looking forward to use. At the moment I also own a Kahles K624i which I have hunted with since a few years, love… Read more

DD, thanks
My son is better than I am at laying up a very light stock. Our process takes around 4hrs to lay up one stock and quite intensive.
Fit is very good as the mould is very precise left or right inlet. The stock in the pictures was full length free float bedded meaning no pressure or stress in the bedding area.
This evening I threw on a… Read more

Hi Ray,
long time no hear. Hope things are good with you.
All fine with us, having a great deer season so far, less rain than usual.

How much does it weigh (oz)?

Sorry for barging in…
I looked into our records.
emmagators stock, #TLT8 weighs 722 grams /  25.5 oz
The second swivel stud in the front and smaller barrel channel add
roughly an oz.
edi

Cold barrel shot. 425m off a silage bale. Think I dialed in around 7mph wind.
20″ 223 lite with ultra light carbon pse stock, Delta 6 baffle ultra light suppressor.
69gr custom match bullet. Can recomend 52 & 69gr custom match for varmint and deer.

Very nice stock design!!  Would this incorporate the stock aluminum recoil lug or would it be supplied with a steel one?

thanks,
Our T3 hunting stock comes with opening to fit the original aluminum recoil lug or a steel aftermarket lug.
The E-tac will be made with a Remmy SA style inlet first and a T3 version will hopefully follow early next… Read more

Hakan has good points and I for one don't see the sense in the thumbhole
stock, maybe because I hunt mostly and often swivel the rifle off the
shoulder to take a quick shot.

I believe the barrelled action starts moving the moment the bullet starts moving. This
means we should think of controlling where and how the barrel is moving and how
we can… Read more

I've been working on this subject for a while now. The way I see it, recoil runs down the line of the bore, therefore it would be ideal to have a rifle balanced around the barrel. Almost all standard rifles are bottom heavy and therefore the muzzle flips up upon recoil. Some more some less. Some rifles must be held very hard on the forend to… Read more

Hi Julle, nice one.
we had discussed this on another forum a while back.
I took a guess that with suppressor it would be possibly (think it was) 20fps
faster. Got some stink back, on what facts I would base that presumtion.
Reason was that the baffles might act as a barrel and increase speed.

Hi Jason,
brought back a Zeiss conquest 6.5-20×50 from the states last time I was over. These scopes are a very good
compromise between performance and weight. At 6.5 mag I've shot running deer with another rifle too and
low light performance is very good.
I had one box of Fiochi 55gr SP which grouped very well out of my 223, but supply ran dry.
edi

Always use rails on my rifles as I don't only have T3's and want to be able to swop my scopes
between rifles depending on the seasons.
On my T3 I use a stainless Roedale rail which I bedded.
