Thanks Sittin Duck, I'm certainly leaning towards the 85.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it :D Regarding the AICS mag, the 80gr Bergers fed just fine, I'm hoping the 105 A-max do too......................fingers crossed...lol

Hi, apologies, I missed this post. I used 100 x Lapua brass which was reloaded 10 times, also 100 x Norma brass which was reloaded 8 or 9 times if I can recall! The accuracy was still quite quite good but the round count was getting high so I thought I'd get it re-barrelled. Also the 1:10...

Nice going Sittin Duck, is that Sako a 75? I'm seriously considering a Sako 85 in 6.5x55.

A few close up shots of the extended mag release & bottom metal screws

Thanks for the reply and also for your advice, as I have said, it really is appreciated. I will certainly look at the Monfretto tripods/heads. Once again, thank you. Regards Mr.Smith

Thanks again for the replies and advice gentlemen, it is appreciated. Regards Mr.Smith.

Right, the decision is made! I have opted for the Canon EOS 500d, I have based this decision on two factors. 1. Budget 2. My own experience with DSLR's - The Canon deal gives me a 18-55mm and a 75-300mm lens kit. I'm no expert photographer so I think, as a newbie, this would suffice. People...

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I'm still baffled as to which one to get though, been googling DSLR's all day...LOL

Thanks for the kind words regarding my rig.

I am looking at entering the world of dslr's but cannot decide which camera to purchase. I have looked at the Nikon D3100 and also the Canon EOS 500D (which comes with two lens') Is there anyone on here that could share their knowledge and guide me in the right direction of which on to...
