Noticed the new sub forum and wanted to start a picture thread. Below are some of my bolt guns. *Edit - upgraded the lights in my basement, allows for better pictures, still not the best.*

Tikka T3x - MDT ACC Chassis

Remington 700 SPS Varmint - McMillan HTG Stock

Smith Corona 1903A3

Sorry for the less than stellar picture. I plan on taking a better picture and adding some other bolt guns to this post.

I believe that is the exact shooting mat I have. I've used it a zillion times in 6 years, it still holding up great.

I picked it up cheap, figuring it would play out quickly. I've had it several years now and it's doing fine (no split stitching, broken buckles).

It replaced a roll-up that had no padding.

I think I'm into this thing for about $1k Shoots as well (or better) than the custom 700/AICS rifle I used to have.

Thanks! It's one of my favorites to shoot. Using some cheap PPU factory 150 grain SP's I was getting around 1.25" @ 100 yards off the bench. I don't shoot it very often, but I do enjoy it a lot when I do. It's one of the reproduction ones that AIM Surplus was selling for a while. The bolt and receiver are original refurbished parts, but the barrel, stock, mount and optic are new reproduction parts. Barrel was made by Criterion with correct 4 groove, 1:10 twist. Optic was made by Hi Lux Vintage optics, which actually makes quite a few repros of old optics including the old USMC 8x Unertl scope...

The repro M82G2 is also surprisingly clear and usable for being a little 2.5x scope.

I haven't visited the forum for a while and was happy to see we now have this Bolt-Action Picture thread! Lots of nice bolt gun pics!

Here's my contribution. It's my Sako 85 Bavarian Carbine in .308 Winchester. Some rifles with Mannlicher-style stocks have accuracy issues, but, if done right, they can be just as accurate as any other rifle. Personally, I've been lucky over the decades. I've owned several carbines with full-length stocks and all of them but one (an early CZ carbine in 6.5x55) were tack drivers including a Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1952 carbine in 7x57. This Sako is no exception! Its barrel has a 1:11 twist and it loves cartridges in the 150gr range. I don't handload anymore so I spent a small fortune testing various factory loads through it and found that it loves the Browning's 155gr BXP offering. I'm very happy with this carbine and its performance. It's a little on the heavy side which is the natural downside of a full-length wood stock, but I just love the look of them so I put up with the extra weight. The fact is, I don't do a lot of humping these days anyway so its weight doesn't make that much of a difference.

Two of my bolters.
Remington 700 SPS Tactical that I had threaded and replaced the bolt knob and a few other things. Not sure if I want to keep it in this chassis or not. No complaints, just not sure. Chunked the original Hogue POS and had it in another Remington LTR stock with a DM for a while before this.

M24 clone I had built up. Love this rifle.
