I used to be the same Rushy. Had just about every brand of rifle in every caliber at one point or another. Built heaps myself and when I lost the tool skills had heaps more built for me.
It was fun but costly.
However if I knew then what I know now.....

Haha. Not that simple @Rushy.
Being left handed, waiting for exactly the right rifle at the right price to come up can be a test of patience.
I bought the standard T3 300wm for the right price and do like the cartridge (I shot a fair few animals with it) but I had always wanted a 7mmRM. Then a brand new 7mmRM barrel came up (again for the right price) I bought it. Couldn't get a laminated left handed T3 either so bought a Boyds stock. Spent a lot less than I would have had to getting exactly what I wanted at the time. And the evolution continues as that rifle now has a VX5 in Talleys rings.
As for the hydrographing - just cos I can. I guess I am just one of those people that enjoys "personalising" my stuff - or I keep changing my mind.
Obviously your rifles remain standard and untouched.

Yep. Every rifle I have is still exactly as the factory made it. Not even a lightened trigger among them.

Got this if @Rangidan .. Nice rifle but couldn't resist giving it a tart up... Stock painted by hydrographic printing guy in tga, bead blasted barrel etc and cut the thread off.. New recoil pad on its way.. Praying for a bit of good weather next week!

Don't be silly Rushy. Would be a waste to not re-use the air in the tyres too.
