Mine is a vz33 rebarreled to 7x57 with side safety, suppressor and Nikon 3-9. (it's the bottom one)

I've guided both Jim Shockey and Colorado Buck..... two very different people!

This never leaves my wrist: Assembled in New Zealand using a Seiko movement. waterproof to 200m and luminous hands and markers.

I was dragged along by the wife to a yard sale. They had 4 sets of binoculars, and were trying to convince me to buy the bigger 12x50s etc probably made by the 'Crapsen dishwasher and optics factory'. I paid $25 for a set of 8x30s that they said were no good........ they were mint condition Carl...

You will probably lose some velocity with the shorter barrel, depending on powder. (I haven't used the 162g in my 24 inch barreled Brno 21).

A Parker Hale 222 was the second centrefire rifle I purchased (after a Parker Hale sporterised SMLE 303). I quickly upgraded to a Anschutz, then a Sako L461 which 30 years later I still have. Still shoot it regularly on goats, rabbits, and wallaby.

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen They ran well, I had to change to 100gn Rem Corelokt, as there are no more 100gn Hornday Interlocks in NZ. Thanks for your help! @rdog I was originally going to re-chamber my Tikka to 250 Savage, but lack of available reamer meant I went to 25 Souper. SteveNZ

RCBS makes dies for it (need to alter as much 243 brass as possible), and it fits in the Tikka M55 short action that I had - otherwise i might have ended up with a 257 Roberts.. I run Speer 87gn TNT for long range wallaby shooting, and Rem 100gn Corelokt for fallow, goats and nanny/juvenile...

I'm the proud owner of a Tikka M55 re-barreled to 25 Souper (25-08). Think of it as a modern 257 Roberts, compared to the modern 6mm Rem (243). works well with AR2209 (H4350) and 100-117 gn bullets. I like it so much that I sold my 25-06 (and went to a 7x57 Mauser, but that's another story)!

@Shootist. NECG does a peep sight for the CZ which uses the recoil notch, here is one on my Brno M21.

Mine was a S/S Tikka T3 in 25-06, now a sporterised vz-33 rechambered to 7x57 with an old leupold 4x.

Thanks @Bob Nelson 35Whelen Appreciate it!! SteveNZ

Thanks @Bob Nelson 35Whelen 117grain SST and 120 speer SteveNZ

Hi Bob I love it, with a decent measure of AR2209 it is not far behind the 25-06 (having a 24 inch barrel does help)! I have only used 100gn projectiles so far, still have to work up a load with the 117-120 gns. Steve

I have two: 25-06 in a Tikka T3 25-08 wildcat in a Tikka m55 (was a 243, but wanted interchangeability of projectiles) Steve.

Gents mine would be: Sako Vixen in .222 Tikka M55 in 25-08 Brno M21 7x57 but we have nothing in NZ that needs a DG rifle.
