I bought mine with a tired barrel and shot it out with a couple of thousand rounds. Then I used the action to build my target rifle with a Lilia barrel. Excellent rifle!

It is used but not abused, but has taken on that well worn patina that guns do after a lot of use. It is never cleaned yet is more accurate than it needs to be, and has accounted for who knows how many rabbits over the years. Mate has a Sako Finnfire. I have seen it once and that was many years ago as it never comes out as he is frightened that lovely stock is going to get marked and it will be devalued. How he justifies his ammo allowance each renewal I have no idea. He also has 50 odd grands worth of Defender sat on his drive. It is a limited edition, has never been off road and is rarely used as he wants to keep the mileage low. Personally I don’t see the point in owning either, but it’s his choice. I agree completely, a .22 rifle is a tool made for work, not a fashion accessory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1066 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 That looks the business - is that a Dolphin stock? Here's mine with Lilja barrel, home-made tuner and PH moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
