    Fluting the bolt makes a big difference as does keeping them clean especially the Barnard trigger

    Careful machining of the action can minimise the weight issues

    If people haven't learnt by now they never will.

    In fact it's even easier now, just buy a Tikka Super light and fit a carbon stock job job with no maching required.

    I have a theory that tikka owners are closet communists

    I guess unlike custom Rifles, Tikkas are generally worth twice as much second hand (based on looking at Tardeme) so that may be a positive

    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    I had a Model 07 in 6.5x47L. Was seriously accurate, but heavy. The 10 shot mag fed well with 7-8 rounds in it, but not so good when fully loaded. Mine had a Jewel trigger which was fine. The Barnard triggers are very good as well, but a little more temperamental to dust/grit etc.

    My Current Barnard PL short action weighs much the same as a Rem long action and has been faultless to date - as were the previous Barnard's I have owned. They have been dragged (literally) through shitty West Coast monkey scrub and still function fine, like any blued action, they require a little more TLC than a stainless though.

    I'm tempted by a Sako 85 in 223, only downside is the short mag length...
    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    If you do go down the custom build route again can you please document as you did with your 223AI. That was good...!

    Yeah, maybe you are right... It was a while ago now and memories do fade

    Theres only 2 real issues with the Sako 85 .223 mag length if you want to use the longer pills and case ejection problems. The 2 .223's I've had both had the ejection issue. Either the case hit the scope casue I like them low as possible and dropped back into the open action or would just drop the case in the action.
