A full inspection of all the bits is needed to come to any conclusion, however I wouldn't mind betting it was an Eddystone action. They are notorious for being as hard as the hobs of hell and a bit...

I just use a piece of foam bedding roll, but that does not make for a nice gift...but very practical and cheap.

There's some good hunting once you reach the first bush edge from the car park. Its a grind over the top to the river. If you just want to get a deer, you will walk past a lot this time of the year...

I have a T3 based .284 Win similar to yours. I use 162 ELD-X and limit my shots to 400 yards (I’m an MOA bloke). The ELD-X has killed reds, tahr, chamois, pigs and goats no problem up to 350 yards...
