With a dead boy suddenly on their hands, the shell-shocked men somehow worsen matters in self-defensive panic, with Marcus’s macho rashness and Vaughn’s passivity making for a precipitous pile-up of bad decisions as they cover their tracks.Īll that, and the film’s just getting started. Yet when the lads, a little worse for wear, head into the woods the next morning, catastrophe strikes: After training his rifle on an obliging deer, Vaughn shoots, only for an interloping child hiker to get fatally caught in the firing line. Still, things start off cheerfully enough as they arrive at their rustic woodside lodge, kicking off a night’s carousing and flirting with two village girls - albeit to the consternation of surly male locals, of whom only the older, community-minded Logan (Tony Curran) makes friendly overtures. Young, mild-mannered dad-to-be Vaughn (Lowden) reluctantly leaves his fiancée to spend the weekend with his reckless, randy, coke-snorting best friend Marcus (Martin McCann), who has planned a Highlands hunting expedition as a kind of final farewell to their old days of fancy-free fraternity.Įven if the trip has been arranged for his benefit, it’s clear from the outset that Vaughn views his attendance more as a favor to his untethered pal: Palmer’s script is tacitly perceptive on clashing modes of masculinity, as well as the shifting, drifting nature of male friendships. It is finished in a matte, coarse finish that is highly recommended for sporting use because it reduces glare.With minimal setup and on-the-fly character sketching, “Calibre” gets swiftly to business. Tikka uses high-grade stainless steel in their barrels, which are also cold-hammer forged and then free floated to ensure optimum accuracy is achieved. However, with 19 calibres available, the Tikka T3 Varmint can fulfil a very versatile role.Īs with any rifle, accuracy stems from the barrel and how it is bedded.
The Varmint, in particular, is a heavier barrelled version of the T3 designed for varmints or vermin/ foxes use. That, the smooth bolt and the variety of calibres the rifles come in means that there is an available model that is right for any eventuality. Tikka rifles are popular with many shooters and hunters because accuracy is never an issue.
