    You've looked after it better than I would have @rambo-6mmrem.
    I just sent an email off to order an adjustable aperture rear eye piece which should make it more useable for hunting for me

    yep that balistol oil is wonderful stuff I clean the gun and that stuff removes any left over traces of salt and preserves the rifle wonderfully wont use anything else on smokeless or black powder guns its the best oil

    nah 120gn soft point Pro Hunter @ 2600 fps - That one smacking the gong nicely at 400 yards in the wind.
    These TTSX's will open down to 1800fps so "good" to 300m - In reality it won't see any action past 50m.

    This rifle is way nicer than my Tikka haha

    Sounds like red dot distance, could save some more weight

    Shopping around for a VX6 1-6x24 ATM, looks like Outdoor supplies has the best price.

    edit; I'm not 100% concerned about weight, I went to the Forbes because I wanted something different but nice (ie not a sako) I wanted short action, good trigger, its a timney on the forbes - this is the best trigger I've ever used and It needed to be 08 case based for possible conversion later to 6.5x47L or 6.5CM. Throw in the super bloody nice stock which is slim and fitting + has a cheek piece and I was sold - I also think the black receiver and stainless barrel is sexy.
