    I'd say you would be sweet. I like the mag release. Hopefully save losing one in future.

    Atlas works with AM mags.

    Dunno if I made the right call for a hunting rifle but time will tell. Have to buy a new stock if I change my mind again anyway

    That’s a nice piece of kit @R93. If I was guiding I would be reluctant to hand that over to a client for a South Westland thrashing. I'd handing them a bog standard tikka with a decent scope, and maybe a suppressor. Let them gark that up

    I hear ya. They normally only get it when it's time to do some shooting.
    Its been on a few hunts since I got it and not a mark on it so far.

    My business owns it so it's not like it's my personal rifle which I used for a while and it stressed me out a bit. It also imo, displays some professionalism and confidence for the clients compared to a bog standard factory gun...Not that there is anything wrong with using one.

    I find the 5 round AM mags spring has too much tension. hard to load first round from mag. Swapping mine to a mdt 5 round. will be selling the AM if you wanted it.

    I would have to agree regarding the too much tension having just played with it. Its fine with 4 in it and if a client needs more than that on a hunt he won't be getting the second mag. Thanks for the offer but I have 2 mags. Cant see me needing another unless I lose one.
