    I’ve fitted a couple of Howa Minis in to Model 7 stocks and a CZ527. A bit of work involved but they match the size of the action nicely.

    Both MDT & Oryx by MDT are nice, however end up being slightly heavier than stock.

    @GWH 123gr ELD-M or Amax and 8202 XBR and you are away. Great combo.

    That sounds like a good option Stu, how longs your waitlist currently?

    Thanks man, i shot a ladder today with just 100gr NBT's and CFE223, quite surprised at the pace they were doing, 32 gr gave me 2800 fps and 34 gr gave 2950 fps, i had been thinking the 123 eldm would have to be the sweet spot of weight BC and velocity for this cartridge.

    I had 100 and 120 gr NBT's and CFE223 already so thats where i started ;-) Will grab some 8202, cheers

    Broncos have the Oryx in stock. The lightweight one is something else again called an EXCL (spelling?) and is 500gr, but is a month or two away apparently

    Can you still order one or are you fully booked?

    Pretty much, unless by some miracle the next lot of firearms legislation doesn’t go through. A lot of hoops to jump through to be able to keep making them
