Maybe a bit too much of an over-kill?

I wish I had $3,000 to put into it but also wanted to do as much of it myself as I could achieve well. I got the sights tapped and drilled by a gunsmith and got the stock roughly finished and have done the final work myself. Stripped back the metal work and did the blueing myself. Last thing will be to drill and install the swivel screws and attach the leather sling. All up including the rifle purchase have put about 750 into it and a whole lot of man hours. Looking forward to taking it out this roar but not sure I can bring myself to take her bush!

Great job Mack....well done on doing most of it yourself....mint!

Got this for the sister in law to use. A keen hunter, getting closer to getting her first deer. Had the sights on a stag yesterday but no clean shot. 257 Bob.

Nice rifle Tahr-Bound I have some surplus .257 +P ammo if you're interested? postage and they're yours.

Dan.

We're just burning through this Hornady stuff to get a decent amount of brass all the same brand to reload. We'll try some 100gr partitions I think. Shouldn't need any more factory loads but I appreciate the offer!

What a nice rig mate I love that stock.

Beauty eh. Was the right price too for the rifle, vx-1 and rings, dies, 2 packs of ammo, a few projectiles and about 70 pieces of brass for $1500. Might be a while before I'm even allowed to carry is the only problem!

Pardon my ignorance but what is it? Definitely a nice looking rifle.

Here you go @Nibblet
Kiwi Greg got the hard job when I sent him the list of things I wanted in a bush pig.... Light, subsonic, heaps of horsepower, and enough range
for the odd longer bush shot.
In the end he said let's go 450 bushmaster.
And it's beaten all my goals easy and is a real pleasure two shoot.
