Exactly what nick d said
He doesn’t have any shorter ones I’ll cut it down at some point

That’s already the plan just run out of cash
Worked out this morning I have $2300 in it including the scope
Didn’t feel that bad a part at a time over 6 or more months hahaha

Got this one back from the gunsmith a couple weeks back. Went out for it's first (unsuccessful but enjoyable nonetheless) hunt at the weekend.



CZ527, 20" Shillen SM chambered in 6.5 Grendel, DPT Can and a 2.5-10 NXS.

Hi all, first time poster. Here’s 2 of my babies

@Mort123 - How'd you mod your bolt like that? Looks like a decent amount of weight taken out of it + fluting

Hey mate the guys at desert guns in Cromwell did all the work on the bolt

Gunworks also do them the same

The fluting yes, but not the rest at the moment according to their website

Right finally sorted my trigger guard for the Marlin in its new Boyds stock so as promised here are some new pics, still to sort a new more compact scope and some lower rings but it's getting there....

New barrel on me trebly. L461 .shoots like a bird.

Nice 461

@Friwi @Ryan_Songhurst - my bolt is actually currently with Gunworks being fluted, I called the lady yesterday and can confirm that they skeletonize the bolt handle too. (for my remington700) It's just not on the site.

First they donated this stock to a worthy cause couple years ago at Sika Show.


I went in to the bucket with my offer and won the bidding !

Been sitting round since but finally came up with a cunning plan to get it slightly modded and bedded for my Stumpy .308

Once again Southfort to the rescue. Mint job of the bedding plus shortening the CF Stock. Great service no mucking about with these guys, they know their stuff..

Nice and short.. Few little extras. Shooting 125 gr slighty compressed loads very well @ 2850 IIRC.

Total weight as in pics = 3.7 kgs

Attachment 91622

Could get it lighter but the scope suits my glasses well. Looking forward to sighting it in

What length barrel is that mate? Is that paint scheme a wrap or something? Looking at doing the same thing to a Tikka 308 I have lying around.
