Hi ol_spark,
The rifle in the photo is a one of Bespoke Bench made rifle by a small Husband & Wife team in Suffolk England called Medwell & Perritt. This one is chambered in 30-30 Winchester, yes that's right a 30-30 custom made bolt action. I use handloads with 125-130 Grain spitzers in it loaded up to higher pressure than standard and it's very accurate
I picked it up when it came on the market, i did not have it built, it's not the chambering I would alter but the magazine box I would have had lengthend to allow the use of 150 Grn spitzers which at present I would have to seat far to deeply to be of any real use. I am going to try some 150 grn RN bullets soon, the 150 FP bulelts shoot well but at increased velocity I wonder how they will hold up. They chronographed at 2650 fps and that's not the top load either. They are showing no pressure signs at all!
The pair of Muntjac in the photos were shot using a BSA CF2 7x57 using 139 grn BTSP Hornady bullets which I loaded up for my Whitetail trip in 2003, the Mounted Old Buck was shot with a Mauser M96 Slidebolt in 6.5x55 Swedish and 120 grn Speer spitzer bullet. I have also used a .308 with 165 grn Speer Spitzers.
We stalk and use Blinds for the Muntjacs, the Blinds are Boxes on legs about 12-16' up and just big enough for two people in them. This helps in our inclement weather especially in the rain and drizzle, they also help in the wind too!
