Thread: New to owning a Defender...general advice sought

Hi yes but no longer have one in the safes...have set up 3 Tikkas in 7mm08 over the years...all have shot 0.5MOA or better with pet load. Exceptional value.

Apologies for the thread drift.

A nice reward at the end of a night hunt with my Tikka .308.

That's a nice pig...I'm trying to get a M03 going with 150gns in 308 at the moment.

A little while ago I reported some buzzing in 5th and 6th gear when the load was taken off and some 'back pressure' went through the gear box.

Following on from a slight modification to the front suspension height where we replaced the factory suspension with new OME suspension kit due to sagging, a small footnote on the bottom of the suspension guide says that any increase in height from the original ride height can introduce a slight vibration though the front drive train. We replaced the front prop shaft with a double carden joint since the original ride height was slightly increased...problem solved. The suspension kit was $600 ish fitted for the front kit and $540 for the carden joint prop shaft fitted.

Hope this helps anyone else lifting their Defenders by any amount, big or small.

Hey Troy
Where did you source the driveshaft from? Seems like a pretty good price
