    Cool. One of my good mates Dad's has one. Bloody heavy thing to lug around. Cool toy though.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Just finished .308 Bush gun. Older Loopy scope MDT LSS Stock . 4.5Kgs with suppressor.
    Quite well balanced. Quite different compared to an nearly original version. See how it shoots this evening.
    If its any close to the .223 one I built recently it will be pretty good.

    How do you carry a rifle with this sort of stock in the bush?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Normal sling it's actually shorter than most bush guns or an AR sling .its no problem how many hunters carry AR 15 s in the bush plenty I'd guess and globally thousands not just deer hunting either .formula is already proven I guess.
