4 mile walk after dins, with sun on me back, along River Swale thinking how much the riverside alders need sorting, watching newly arrived curlew and oystercatchers flying and calling followed by a couple of Brakspears.

 

Could be worse.

Nice pics Sam but did you drop anything? What gear you on there? Looks Sako-ish?

 

Dropped a nice yearling doe for the freezer, and a rabbit.... for "ballistic testing..." :001_rolleyes:.

 

Tikka T3 Lite Stainless, all standard apart from the trigger which is at 1.5lb. Scopes a 8x56 S&B, beastly optics, probably the best woodland scope you can get I reckon. Mod is a PES Scout, pretty happy with that after changing from a Ase Utra last year, balance is good - far better than the T8 oil drums people like. I shoot two rounds through it, developing a fifth at the moment. The first one is a 140 Nosler Spitzer soft point, mainly for hill work. And the second (what I used last weekend) is a 160 Hornaday soft point, round nosed. It is useless past 150m, but when it hits it makes a very big hole, virtually no hydraulic shock, and puts a lot of blood out of the wound, so an easy carcass to follow up with less meat damage than a .243 100-grainer!
