I don't even want to know what .223 costs in your part of the world.

Very nice! Had some Sako's years ago and liked them. Nice workmanship and beautiful wood.

Nice! One of the best bolt-action spoons out there IMO. Found one in .300WM for my step-dad years ago. Exactly what I recommended Souk pick up, in his bolt-action search thread.

It is not a "TOY" it is a SPOON.

Krikey, even the Finns are doing stainless. At least they used wood for the stock.

I really like the checkering a lot. Not just your standard "flag and diamond " panels. Very tasteful. Looks like a nice piece of wood as well.

LOL, thanks for the kind words guys. At first I wanted a cheap .223, then for a bit more I could get... and a bit more.... Actually it's second hand. An elderly gentleman had owned it and cared for it, AND only put about 200 rounds through it - I'll soon fix that!
Rick, most things cost what you pay x 2. Todd, I wouldn't shoot at Australia, we need those guys. In fact if they invaded us I'd stand on the beach saying "fesh lobster, fresh lobster". If they found out how much money we owe you guys and China they would retreat real fast. "Anyone??? NZ going cheap??". |

I think he just liked owning them other than shooting them.

Beautiful! I'd rub it on my tummy.
 Why are the windage/elevation towers so tall on that Nikon?

Ah, that's the trouble. Range results might show the gun is too good for lil ole me haha. No idea Ron, and in the box they had spare ones that are even bigger.
