    I just put a bid on that one of trademe for 500. couldn't be bothered looking overseas anyway to be honest but was worth a look. I contacted them today and Jas just quoted me 600.

    Hi guys. Very quickly, all has been sorted but now i need to decide weather or not to shorten the barrel when it comes to getting it suppressed. Currently is 22" and has been proposed that it gets cut down to 20".
    My shooting is within 500m.

    thoughts?

    I'd leave original if it were me mate.
    Please post photos of stock when done as I am looking at restocking my sako 75 in 270.
    Cheers.

    Yep its cut. I shoot out of my truck a bit too on a mates farm. So having a long rifle will be a pain in the arse

    B&C stocks are okay if you have larger hands. Their pistol grip is quite chubby. They definitely don't suit my girly hands and I had to return the one I ordered online some years back because it felt like a club. Apart from that they seem well made.
