A short introduction from Tasmania, Australia. I have recently returned to shooting as a pastime as previously, my work made it very awkward, if not impossible, to hold the necessary licences now required in Australia. I have now retired and taken up target shooting again with both long arms and pistol and I want to get into deer hunting.

To that end I have recently purchased a MS 6.5 x 54 action that I intend to build up into a hunting rifle and while trawling the internet for information I lighted on this site and more specifically, the MS forum. A veritable gold mine of information that led to me joining and hoping to gather the collected wisdom of other members in the future.
 
This place is Dangerous Run!!! You'll be wanting a 4XX then a 5XX and a double and, and and!

LOL - No, I am a coward and don't like pain. Besides I bleed easily. I am still waiting on the paperwork to come through on the action so its sitting down at the dealers but I have had a play with it and very impressed with the smoothness - everything I have read about that has been confirmed.
 
Hello and welcome!

Welcome to AH.
You should find some help here on AH.
 
Welcome Peter to the forum! I had the opportunity 20 years ago to visit Tasmania. I was quite impressed especially by the friendly people! Very enjoyable to sit and chat with.
Enjoy the forum and if you would, share some pictures of your lovely island!
 
Welcome to our place Peter. No better place to feed your renewed passion.

Welcome from Cairns.
Enjoy this great forum and please contribute.
 
Welcome aboard Peter Lovett. That will be a sweet shooting rifle once you get it built. Who is going to be doing the work on it? There are a lot of Aussies on AH do you know or live near any of them?

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
