    Success! Had to stick it in a vice, wrap a wet towel around the stock while one of us hit the receiver with a blowtorch and another worked the bolt loose with a rattle gun. Bit of a mission

    Yep, Workshop Innovation and Gunworks get most of my shooting money, and I've never had a reason to complain about service, products or prices from either of them.

    If you decide to shoot the results of this experiment (which I don't recommend) please don't do it with anybody else close, its a shame to injure yourself (and this is Dawin award territory IMO) ,...

    nor-west liked post by Tahr On thread : Sako Model 75 223
    .223 is one caliber that in my experience even the cheapest rifles seem to shoot well in. A Sako 75 would be nice but I bet it wouldn't outshoot a Savage (for instance) at half the price (which come...

    nor-west liked post by 257weatherby On thread : What are some of the smoothest bolt actions you have handled?
    My M12 Mauser makes the rest feel like their bolts are wrapped in sandpaper and dipped in golden syrup. And the trigger makes the rest feel like PTO hitches on an old Fergie.
