At least Nathan you can still use hearing protection at the range and will only fire the odd single shot unprotected at animals I guess.

I will post up some photo's of it later. I reckon its been the buy of my lifetime so far. Im actually thinking its too good to take hunting. Clearly its never been bush. It came with the original box , Packaging , Owners manual and 3 magazines , VX 3 2.5x8x36 and Rings. Its in beautiful condition. It looks like its rarely been fired and definately a safe queen.

Its a wood blued Tikka M595 with the original open sights as well as a fantastic half bolt and one of the crispest triggers ive felt.

I was referring to the difference between the metric and imperial measurements. 11.1cm low at 200 vs 3.2” low at 200

Cripes. Looks brand spanking.

@Nathan F I have one similar m55 in 222. Probably my favourite rifle to be fair. Enjoy getting it out in the hills.

Here it is. As much as I’m a fan of suppressors I think it would be sacrilegious to cut this -

M595. Last of the really good tikkas before the merger with sako and they became plastic stocked crap, albeit still good shooters. One off the worst decisions i've ever made was letting go of my one in.222.

Sacrilegious methinks...

What’s the story behind that rifle if you don’t mind me asking as it looks brand spanking new!

Someone has been hoarding!

Part of a deceased estate I believe. It’s not brand new obviously but as close to new as you will get. Hardly been fired and lived in a safe it’s entire life.

Wow that's a nice looking rifle alright. Bet you can't wait to blood it.
