Dunkield Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Very nice lump of timber there Nick, it has that Tiger stripe grain like the CZ one from Richards that I sold Apparently the one I kept has more 'character' according to mrs stuartp Are you using Tru Oil? I bought some of that to re-furb my Laminate Tikka stock but just can't bring myself to strip the varnish off it at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 the nightforce BR looks the best for me atm. £600 from states 8-32x56 and some of the best optics about. Of course this whole rifle hasnt even cost £600 so its going to have to wait untill i can afford it Off to do some reloading now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
