    Rivers to Ranges had a carbonlight stock that had been sprayed with the spray on tuff deck material for a customer. Not sure how durable it would be in the long term, but it made the stock feel really good.

    Murffs in Nelson offer a rubber coating which lasts really well they did my other stock.

    I hunt a lot in and around Te Anau. It’s not the driest but I never seem to have an issue with it being slippery. It will lose its shine

    Got to love a sako.
    Checked my 6.5 creedmore and my .223 at 100m then back at 600m the 2 higher shots were from the 6.5 the lower from the .223.
    It did take 3 shots with the.223 to sort out the wind.

    O yeah I see the rail.
    Thought it was an 85 as looks like some coating coming off the stock.
    Bloody neat little rifles I love my 85 .223.

    Yeah Beretta came good and gave me a new one to replace my peeling one on my .223 with a peak stock.
    I like the feel of the new stock.

    And the gossip about not shooting is bs multiple sub 1 moa 5 shot groups as long as barrel isn't heated up.

    They shoot that’s for sure, slightly more than two tenths of a thou constriction at the muzzle really helping.

    Did they make the mag length any longer for the 223 in the 90?
