Garlands had 1 in a few weeks back as i looked at it my self.

My local rfd had one in a couple of weeks ago, i will check tomorrow and you are only an hours drive away.

Have you been quoted a price because he always likes a good haggle with me.

[markw]

Not any more there isn't How're you getting on with yours mark? I like mine a lot but having a little trouble setting the scope up (due to the weather I think). Thanks for the heads up

 

I've got a mod, bipod and large scope on mine and it's main downfall is it's a bit heavy (also got a sling though).

[markw]

getting on great with mine i have mounted a nvscopes sm3 d/n on it bought the sak mod from the shop aswell

stuck my harris bipod on it to got to get a sling yet not seen a decent one yet

i have tried federal premiers through it and also hornady v max b/ts

both seem to shoot excellent with 1/2 groups at 70 yrds

 

i already knew these were heavy as main reason for getting one was my mate has one and was hooked as soopn as i used it i am a fairly big bloke so can hump it about if needed most of my shooting is done rested out of a 4x4 or from sticks

so wont be getting carried very far anyway

glad someone else got the s/h one it was a bargain (if it shoots okay)

yeah, shoots great - in next to no wind!

 

I've transferred my simmons scope, harris bi-pod and ase-utra mod onto it as well as a cheapish sling, as the name says - most of my shooting involves wandering around fields, I like heavy rifles (used to be well into target shooting) and I'm happy with it but the sling's a god-send! Put 130ish shots through it sofar and the bunnys are taking quite a beating!

 

I heated the trigger spring up (last three or four coils of the thicker section) and squashed them to lighten the trigger a bit more than standard as it was way too heavy for my liking.

 

Thanks again, look after it!
