Photos Tasmania , Australia (state forest)

[S12A]

Main reason for the shoot was to sight in my tikka t3 tactical RCS at 100m. also sighted my remington 7615 police.

temperature was about 15C , no wind , and was raining the whole time , but only a light drizzle.

hoping to find some more spots in the various forests around my area to get back into some long range work,

Tikka in a AICS, that is something I have not seen. How did it go?

hey mate,

its an RCS made by roedale precision in germany (www.roedaleprecision.com) .

its brilliant to fire, adds a bit of weight to the rifle too, which helps in balance considering the crap plastic stock that comes with tikkas normally, also allows use of 5 and ten round AICS mags.

im very happy with it. cheaper than an aics too.

Re: Tasmania , Australia (state forest)

Looks like a good set-up you've got yourself there, quite similar to my own. I've also got a T3, just haven't ordered an RCS yet. And I've got a 7615 as well. Makes a pretty good combination for most hunting scenarios.

I like the use of work gear there as well, much cheaper than buying it

Not being from your neck of the woods, whats in Beaconsfield ?

Also, your country is on my bucket list of places to go before I expire.

Re: Tasmania , Australia (state forest)

Thanks for the feedback fellas,

VIET the pack is a 511 tactical , not sure model etc

Todd , Beaconsfield pretty well known from an incident last year where a portion of the gold mine collapsed and a few miners were trapped for a couple of weeks in a cage underground , they were rescued though!

Sleeman i love my T3 in the RCS i can not fualt it! the 7615 is a bit of fun too!

cheers SAS_Sniper!

have a good one fellas,

Hey Anthony

Nice rig mate

Just curious, as another fellow aussie, did customs give you any grief bringing the RCS into the country?

Just curious as i would prefer to buy stuff myself from overseas and have it delivered... cutting out the middle man certainly has $ benefits for me

Whats your thoughts on the 7615? Im guessing its .223 right? What sort of accuracy can you get out of it

Re: Tasmania , Australia (state forest)

Gday Vman ,

cheers for the comments im very happy with the tikka,

Customs didnt give me any trouble at all , as the stock is sent without magazines , they didnt even contact me at all!you get the magazines from a second location , hinterland shooting supplies i think.

the 7615P .223/5.56NATO is a great fun little rifle , accuracy wise its pretty good considering , but obviously its not a precision rifle! im using pretty cheap ammo (wolf 55GR FMJ) and it still goes pretty well, about 1.5 MOA with a leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 . with the ghost rings its pretty tricky !

its great to be able to order stuff direct from overseas, the importers in australia are ridiculous with the mark ups on normally reasonable prices!

Re: Tasmania , Australia (state forest)

Tell me about it mate i just recently got my AICS 1.5 from Hinterland, and then realised that i could just buy one from guys on here for about $1000 delivered... mmm anyways live n learn

Hinterland are nice people to deal with however so no drama

Im hoping to place an order for a roedale muzzle brake soon... cant wait should be off its tits
