Big Thank you to @hanse and @Beanie, without you guys and Terri(Spear Mags) it wouldn't be possible so quick.

Very nice - did your free float tube come with the sling point? If so where did you sorce that from?
Cheers

My free floating tube is the original Stag Arms rugged from the model 6.

Sweet cheers

Recently when @timber listed his Savage Light weight hunter chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor for sale, i couldnt resist. 4-5 years ago my father and I handled one of these little Savages while over at the Sika show, and it made an impression.

It was a package deal, rifle with Talley lightweight rings, Weaver Super slam 2-10, reloading dies, 40 new Hornady brass, all at what i thought was a very fair price. I knew it had some history, but had apparently been sorted.

Well first impressions, is its a neat little thing, being a little different in design etc, with the slotted underside of the fore-end, and the machined out action all to reduce the weight, looks pretty neat too imo.

I wasted no time mounting the scope, and loading up some ammo to test. I had a couple of boxes of the berger 130gr VLD's that i was keen to try, (i just couldnt get them to shoot in my Mod 7 260 rem). Loaded up some test loads, and off to the range.



Being reasonably light, it is quite a lively rifle to shoot and you really need to hang onto it. Its only a 130gr pill doing around 2800, but it must be due to the low weight it sure jumps about.

Still got more fine tuning to do, but its showing some promise....



With the high BC of the 130 VLD, even at 2800 fps it still holds 1000 ft lbs to 675 yards, quite unreal for a little case and a 130 gr pill.

Looking forward to the first deer with it now.

That's very cool GWH. Truth is, it's probably close to the ideal all rounder. At least for the NI. And cheap to run, too.
You might get some strange looks at the Fiordland ballot briefing with it, but with the right bullet it would do the job no doubt.
But, nah. Owning just one gun would be a bit silly really.

A muffler goes pretty well on their snoz, and doesn't seem to upset the balance.

You can get them in stainless now, with a synthetic stock. I actually prefer my wood blue one though, and yours looks nice too.



p.s. If you lose your magazine, the Savage Axis mag is exactly the same.

Finally got to fit the tube sight onto my Martini Henry 38-55. Loaded some BP rounds and if the weathers fine I'll bang it on the weekend and see if it hits anything. Has a new barrel and bit of work done by someone else

A tube sight is basically a tube with a small adjustable apperture you look through and sit the target in the middle of the circle , if that makes sense?

A few old shogun cartridges floating around my gun room!

A couple of draws full of my small collection

This rifle is now for sale, without scope or rings, may have 1" rings if I can find them, one off hand made stock, very accurate, only selling to buy its brother which is now being sold by the guy that made the this stock, looking at $1100.00 any interest? Bi pod also not included in the sale

Well a little rifle buy turned into more than I bargained... but with a little work it has turned into a ripper...

Bought this Ruger 77/22 WMR as a SS/Laminate, unfortunately the barel wasn't Stainless asfound out aftr being away at work for a month, the damn thing was covered I surface rust...S**t S**t S**t...

Good mate bead blasted the rust away ad a few calls with Victor at CerakoteNZ.com and whammo this is what I have, well pleased...
