    I'll go one up on Tahr's offer of weekly fairlie pies and offer you 1x Hororata Cafe pie for one week only, which is worth at least 700 fairlie pies.

    That was only my opening gambit. If pushed I will swing in with a top up of Fairlie custard squares as a sweetener.

    Are these really the ducks nuts ? , the soft coating on stock seems to rub off which seems like a design floor , is this easily fixed or do you just live with it ?

    It depends what you are after. I had one in rem mag. Beautiful rifle that shot no doubt . But when you can get a T3 superlite with a finlite barrel and put a hitec stock on it for less than half the price ? And it shoots just as well if not better - hard to justify for the type of hunting I do.
