    I've had the stock off mine, bed and doing stock up
    Needs to go back together just haven't done it yet as possibly going to send the barrelled action for a Cerakote, am spending a fair bit of time deciding whether it is worth it or not

    I had my husky out two nights ago at the range, have fitted a peep sight, and now discovered that i can't get enough adjustment, 4-5" high at 25m, so have ordered a couple new front blade's in different heights now,
    forgotten how much of an beast, a 7lb 9.3x62 is off the bags, 16 shots and I had had enough,
    some one on Canada Gun nuts has a sako black bear, with 20 rounds threw it, 9.3x62 for sale for $1800, i hope its sold before six weeks in invoices, i just billed get paid.

    Nice mate yeah the light huskys with the hard butt plates aren't the nicest off the bench. That's not a bad price on the Black bear, over here they go for around $3500 new. Currently a very nice Sako Grizzly 9.3 on TM at the moment.

    Well bugger me, there`s plenty of hope for me then with my Sharps in 45-70, 420 gr, 70grs 3f black powder. Just have to wait a week for the smoke to clear to see if I hit anything, , 100mts at the range , don`t think the goats will like it. Cheers, Homebrew.357.

    NO,!! If I did that the yank`s would shoot me. As backup and to stop my arm breaking will be taking my little .3030 bush gun, 'sudden death". takes no prisoners. Homebrew.357.
