    I have one that I think has wonky action screws or wonky stock. It shoots like a laser though so I prefer to live with the fact rather than interfere with accuracy of this nature. These guns are a...

    I am awestruck by the layer of fat in your picture Hunter Nick. My father did a lot of hunting in his younger days. He was too young to serve during WW2.... and while his brothers and other keen...

    Also depends on what barrel length you require. The lightweight version (usually has the lightening cuts on the action) is a 20" barrel. The standard profile is 22" long from the factory.

    Nah, my alpine mountain rifle is accurate AF. Unless you plan on shooting long strings (the thinner barrel heats up quicker) get the lightweight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
