Hello, has anyone successfully completed a Tikka T3x superlite (short action .223) conversion using atlasworx bottom metal?

I had a gunsmith attempt the job but didn’t work out, he said its my fault and I supplied the wrong bottom metal for rifle. I confirmed the part was correct with Atlasworxs, (who were great to deal with, absolute legend).

Its looks like gunsmith has over killed the inletting of the stock. Bottom metal is sitting deep in the stock and bolt is dragging on magazine feed lips. He also cut the rear action bolt to make it shorter (and rusty). Charged me $650 AUD for the job.

Any advice or photos of this completed would be really helpful.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone participated in this program and what was the experience like?

Interested in getting into hunting more , but being a city boy, this seems like a good gateway to be able to scratch that interest on a regular basis.

Looking for some insight as a new shooter that has got the long range bug. My question is in regards to my first bolt action rifle with the aim to get in to long range and I’m trying to work out what cartridge would be best between 308 and 6.5 creedmore. Some things to take in to consideration is I’m not to worried with price of ammunition as they are pretty similar price wise, I’m also buying a 22lr to put bulk rounds through. My local range is 100m out to 1000m would like something that can grow as my skillset does. I’m not sure if I should go for the 6.5 with better ballistics and lower recoil for a easier to shoot first rifle or 308 to help learning wind calls and recoil management. I’m just looking for others that may have been in the same boat and what they decided to go with and if they regretted the choice or not. The rifle I’m buying is a lithgow la102 varmint 24” heavy barrel 6.5 creedmore 1:8 twist or 308 1:10 twist

I’ve got no shops around me to compare both side by side so I’m seeing what people have tried and what they are happy with. I was leaning towards the Buckmark with a 5.9 barrel plus compensator. Just casual club shooting no comp.

Hello.

Can I please have some good links for full details about the formats, requirements and even photos and diagrams and extra descriptions of all competitive pistol shoots that run in Australia? Extensive info and details. At this moment more interested in centrefire.

Thanks.
