Don't think I paid anything like that, but I've had it for years ;)


For those that like old Escorts and love the sound of a BDA or BDD @ 12,000RPM. :D

Nice work I'm the worlds biggest escort fan
 
there are a couple of blokes in Queensland doing it. as a business. one is a absolute #### the other unknown.
i think there are a couple floating around in tassie that had them fitted. my mate is fitting them too but has about 3 to do once he has finished his!

I know of one bloke around burpengary who's supposed to be good, did a 1hzzzzzz to fte swap for a mate in a 105 cruiser and he's rapt and has taken it through every state post swap.

Apparently he does Gus as well. Don't know if he is doing duramax now that FTE motors are getting scarce.

Anyway it's a dream..... With young kids and a tightarse workplace - no pay rise at all this year, I don't have that much coin to drop to save even $50 per tank.... And as its lucky to get 10 fills a year, it won't pay off...... At this point in life.
 
Saw ####

Today I went out and shot field rifle with the step farter and then went back to mums for a beer anyhow mums got new neighbours so step farter goes over to say giday and finds them struggling to just some small trees down with there mighty ozito so step farter come in to the shed and says you wanna grab a saw and knock over these trees and meet the new neighbour I'm like not realy he said it would be worth your while sooooo I grab the only saw I have there with fuel in it the mighty homolite xl with 3 year old fuel in it and beleave it or not it fired up and ran sweet so over next door I go and bugger me dead this chicks smoking hot so was worth it in the end just for a perve so now the homolite is at my place so I got a few pics.

Normally the homolite is spotless but it got a good run today.

But I couldn't leave out my workhorse husky Love this little saw its an 83 model I have two of these both the same year I think the rancher 50 was the longest running husky model too with various face lifts over the years.

Range finding reticles are fine in theory but you still need to know the target distance if hunting which can be hard to judge sometimes. You also need a reticle setup for your particular trajectory. For example a reticle like in your picture may be fine for a .222 but won't mean diddly on a .25/06. I actually use my Leica laser rangefinder and a ballistics/bullet drop app on my phone providing you know your velocity and BC of your projectile. A few of the newer scopes have a built in laser rangefinder and also have trajectories built in for various calibres. These do work well but are pretty pricey.

done heaps on this and you will find you will have to do a LOT of lode work with pills and it will not be dead on air temp pressure altitude and so on but will get you with in a few inch's so you see a fox at 500 it's dead .

this thing will hit a 600ml coke bottle at 600y consistently and it has the varmint hunter reticle which is dead on with
burger 95g pills out to 500y but had to do a lot of load development for it to work it is in 243W

and this is the varmint hunter reticle and the windage marks work well when you learn how to use them with different angels

Make my old Steiner binos look positively as if they're out of the ark, and anyway, I had three Fallow bucks play fighting just below the bedroom window last week :D

One was starting to get decent palmation (is that a word?) too.

I think they knew my hunting days are long past, but I couldn't help but go outside and start stalking them with the camera in my flanny jammies in the frost :D

Lol you need to be stalking them with a 308
 
Ran a tank thru both the 441 and the 660. The 660 feels like loud 350 chev with 900 Holley on it. And the 441 is like a HSV. Smooth, quiet and efficient.
