    It’s not a recent import. Pm and I might be able to point you in the right direction to obtain one, but with a longer barrel

    Hard act to follow such a tasty sako.
    Here's my new marlin 917 with olivion 4-14x44ao scope and greystone suppressor.
    I'll be supprised if the trigger hasn't been improved as its pretty bloody nice and a scored 5 boxes of hornandy ballistic tips for $10 a box.
    Good deal, can't wait to paste a few more hares. Will post more pics in a week or so when the new stock arrives.

    They are mean little weapons those marlins. Miss my 980s, should never have sold it. Outshot much more expensive 22s on the regular.

    If it has a trigger less than about 8 lbs then it's likely had a trigger job or spring set. You can tune em yourself with a ball point pen spring and a little piece of nail

    Probably cant get it much lower even though it's only 44mm objective the AO is quite bulky.
    Could possibly go 5mm I'll have a look when it's out of the safe next, I do like to keep em as low as possible.

    Here is my new toy.
    Tikka T3x superlite 308
    Fluted barrel shortened to 16inches
    DPT Suppressor
    Carbon fibre stock and bipod
    Fluted bolt and carbon handle
    All up scoped with bolt, mag, bipod and sling weighing just on 6.5lbs.
    And it shoots well. 3 shots touching at 50mtrs

    What carbon bolt knob did you use ?
    Any chance of a pic of the bolt ?

    Ive got a kind of similar Tikka 6.5x55 that is waiting for me to pick up from Kiwi Greg , but I won’t be back in NZ until September and the wait is killing me .
    Im envious that you have yours already to play with .
    FALL IN LOVE WITH THE NUMBERS , NOT THE IDEA

    A 300 RUM; all pretty much standard apart from the stug stock.

    Not quite as fast as the one above. 210 Bergers doing 2965 shot the best.
