    Legend I’d love to see some photos mounted. As I’m sure you were im hesitant to put holes in my stock but it sounds a great product . From the limited pictures iv seen I initially thought they looked abit funny at the top of the legs poking forward from the mount rather than under/part off. Purely aesthetics but aesthetics are important to me when iv got everything else just how I wanted it. Good luck very jealous

    The new 7mm saum is great, smithed by our very own jaco goosen. 1-8 twist, 24inch barrel. Feeds great with the Hawkins 300prc bottom metal and magbox. Broke the barrel in on Tuesday, and started load developing. Got 3000 fps with berger 168g vld hunters with rl26. 12fps es between them. Will run that for now until the barrels had around 200 rounds. Then I'll re touch it Name: 20220623_120421.jpg Views: 957 Size: 1.89 MBName: 20220623_120434.jpg Views: 941 Size: 2.84 MBName: 20220623_120443.jpg Views: 865 Size: 1.93 MB

    Nice. Jaco did a .223 re-barrel for me and made an excellent job. Highly recommended.

    It appears to still have the lobbing sight on it, so you might at last have a rifle that can out distance the stirling.

    Front one but not the rear one. For some reason the rear ones are rare as rocking horse shit.

    Missing in the photo though mate. Unless it's been glued on as the flat spring and screws are definitely missing.

    That is cool Dundee. They are great rifles.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
