Seems to be in fairly good nick apart from some light surface rust on barrel and the rear of action has been butchered to fit dove tail:(
Now to see if it shoots.
Score!
Good stuff Vcam, shit I bet she could tell some stories
Used the 8x57 quite a bit with the heaviest loads I could find (from memory 200 - 220grn?) on a lot of manawatu sambar, poleaxes the big stags no worries. When you get sick of it send it my way :P
