    Nice rig Mayfly, any ideas what the overall weight is on that one?

    I'm thinking of making something similar based on a Tikka M595, which is the heavier older brother to your T3.

    .284win, its a great rifle but I was thinking (out loud) that a L96AI style stock would be the berries. May look at making one of a similar style myself as a project?

    Model 7 7 SAUM

    Here is my latest. Thanks to Brads for the rifle and Abe for doing the metal work.



    The original bare rifle weighed 7lb 3.5oz.
    I made a new carbon fibre stock for it. I tried a few new things and got the weight of the stock down to 16.5 oz. The factory stock, with a limbsaver was 40oz.
    Fluting the barrel saved 5 oz, fluting bolt saved 0.8oz, lightweight firing pin saved 1.8oz. Abe also made a radial brake for it.
    Weight of finished bare rifle is 5lb 4.2 oz. With the scope (Bushnell 6500 2.5 -16 x 42) and low Talley rings the final weight of the rifle is 6lb 10 oz.
    Haven't finished working up loads yet. Working on 162 a-max for long range and 140 accubond as the close-up load.

    That is a very very nice stock.Dont like to say it but showing it off in public may deem it to a short ownership. Insure it bro
