    My mate got an MDT chassis from Canada for a project that didn't end up going anywhere. Think it cost him $900 from Mystic Precision

    This is mine Very easy to shoot well.I use it all the time for hunting open country.
    Ive covered the cheek piece and handgrip with butenol for cold weather.Its easy to clean you need a long rod.
    I like the way its all one extrusion nothing come loose on you.

    What's that bloody great big thing between its legs? Is that the grenade launcher?

    Is that a Tika mag adapted for the Rem action?

    Its a Tikka mag because you need a single stack one.Mines got a heavier than necessary barrel for a hunting rifle but i cant remember the weight.
    I dont know anything about the Barnards but mine was about $3500 with a Jewel Trigger

    Getting sweaty now, can't be far away, will be giving it this week for the sake of them getting reorganized after the break, then email for progress report. Ordered it early October, with 3 month lead time, so getting hopeful. Keep looking wistfully at their site !
