Dying to get out to shoot it.
It has lightened the rifle as I carry it by almost 400 grams.
My only minor complaint with the off-road is the weight. So if it shoots like the rest of my barrels I will be pretty chuffed.
The finish and workmanship is excellent.
More to follow....

Had a slight change of plan on the stock I wanted so that added a bit of a extra wait. To say I am "chomping at the bit" would be an understatement.
welcome addition to gun safe

Is it a Mcmillan hunter?

46 shots through it today while doing some load development. The little suppressor took it well. Got hot towards the end though see the ole scope getting the wiggles from the mirage hahaQuote:

New toy pt together today. Lucky it was able to be finished after the changes around here.
Specs:
Tikka t3 270
Bell and Carlson Stock
Hardy Gen 4 Supressor
Warne tikka Rings
Swarovski Z5 5-25x52 with ballistic turret
Gun works Fluted bolt.
Little upset with stock. Arrived and you could tell it was pulling in the right hand side of the action, resulting in the barrel not sitting in its channel square. Had to sand left over resign from inside channel too in order to get barrel to free float. Now I'm going to have it titanium bedded instead of returning.

It shoots well. Look into getting a podlock for the bipod, makes a real difference to being able to lock it up properly. They are expensive little buggers, but T-nuts in the states sells them for about $US 7-10. Buy a few and flog off the extras.
Ill look into it and see what i can do. Yeh it does shoot well but think it can get a little better with bedding and load development. vertical stringing present as i was in a hurry but still good enough to kill animals.
Any vacancies:D
