    Another "Rifle" question re - Hardy rifles.

    Was up HRE this week & had a fondle of their "Project X" rifles, they seem pretty good value & nicely put together


    Anyone using one, set up & thoughts on them ?


    Cheers

    Is extraction even an issue when they don’t go bang 50% of the time?

    I found a second hand one that didn't look as cool as the ones on the hardy website for sale for 4 grand.
    What price does a Ram driver call good value?

    $6750 , I don't think thats bad value for a semi custom rifle, with integrated rail, carbon stock & barrel , case & a factory fitted suppressor.

    https://www.hardyrifle.com/project-x-stock-rifles


    I know that they had issues in the past but by now I'd say most of their made "in house" products would be pretty good, the only Hardy barrel I even had shot very well.


    The cardon stocked Sako 90 I'm looking at is around that price with a standard steel barrel & no case or can, While I like Sako's I think they've priced themselves outta the market & their stock levels at NZ HQ is pathetic, who wants to wait months for a factory rifle in the very limited calibers they even make in the new 90 model.
    Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!
