Thread: Model 7, 7mm08 vs Spiker

Yes it is a Southfort Labs stock ,haven't seen one for years, were made in Cambridge ,they were popular on Varmint guns around 2014 on, they have the large PG swell as they were really aiming at supplying the Military market ,they were pretty light from memory & needed a good bedding job.

The guy who owned it got caught out a few years ago after falling out with his neighbor's over delivery trucks blocking their drives off ,turned out he had been running the business, with around a dozen employees out of the back of a shed behind a house for years & had never applied for permits or had any proper drains ,venting etc, etc & the powers to be were sending cameras down drains etc to see what they had been dumping for years.

From memory again but l think when they went to fine & remove him , the company was hidden behind a very complex Offshore financing scheme & was basically a $1 Smoke & Mirrors wonder.

Was a very similar story to those blokes who supplied the UK Military with their Sniper rifles & the company was just a group of mates operating out of a old Panel Beaters shed .
