    Lots of Fcuking around... I tried it by swapping a Z5 between my 6.5x55 barrel and my 7mmRM barrel. Significant enough difference in E and W POI's (for me ) to dismiss the idea.
    As Kiwijames has said, no worries to take the scope off and put it in your carry on luggage, when travelling, and then chuck it back on the same barrel.

    I have said many times if I was to get one it would be a R93.
    BRADs is an R8.......there's been two R93's on TM in the last fortnight, I think, both with saddle mounts.
    I don't think either have sold.
    Ones a .223 with HRE can, the others a 6.5......fill your boots.
    I have the phone # of the .223 seller.
    I think L.R. Is buying a uber nice Black Edition Attaché R8.
    I couldn't be happier with mine.
    A GRS Blaser stock from Norway would be good on the gongs.
    Christensen Europes website seems to have dissapeared from the inter web, so a Carbon stock might be a ways off

    Sorry bro been out at a fire callout.
    I don't really think it any one business but.....
    I've changed to R93 to loose some weight...and it feels better......the R8 is buy far the best platform I've ever owned in every single way, and I've had nearly every thing.
    But yes as gimp says I'm just a junky, but who the fuck cares you guys get good shit for cheap.
    I'll always sing its praises.
    The one thing I don't get is people hating on shit they've never had or played with?
    I abuse @Gibo and his tikkas as I've had a few.......

    that's a bit disingenuous, have I posted anything whatsoever that could be considered hating? Genuine question, I don't give my posts any thought at all so they sort of go in one ear and out the other

    They come up reasonably often outdoorlad, 1500-1800 for a plain old 75 1800-2200 seams to be about the goin rate for a finlight unless it has been dicked around with then like anything else the owner will want new price for all the "upgrades"
