I imported a receiver from a company in Europe called akila, and got a barrel fitted by hardy

Good looking setup there. What’s the weight?

3.5 ish kg

Well for awhile id say 5 years I’ve wanted a howa mini in 6.5 Grendel
But after owning one Previously I know that I don’t like the plastic stock nor the mag

I like very Traditional looking rifles (wall nut and blued steel)

Which howa do show in the catalog so I ordered one with a local gunshop
But after 2 years of waiting there was still no expected Delivery date
So a canceled the order

I then contacted geoff at gunrack about getting me in a boyds walnut stock
And he pulled it off for me it was a fair wait with current shipping times but geoff was fantastic to deal with

I also contacted @Kiwi Greg and he hooked me up with the jefferson bottom metal to get rid of the plastic mag and bottom metal

Has made for one very good looking rifle
Just needs glass bedding and suppressor now

Just added this 308 Kimber Montana to my other Kimber Montana rifles (7mm-08 and 300wsm).

I had it shortened to 17 inches, got the barrel fluted, swapped out the stainless trigger guard for an aluminum one, added some Talley lows (thanks @Dreamer), and finished it off VX-R Firedot 1.25-4 × 20.

Comes in at 2.725kg (6lb 0.2oz). I'll add a lightweight Razor sling to it, so it will top out at 2.8kg (6lb 2.7oz) on the dot.

I wanted a lightweight easy pointing bush rifle and I think this fits the bill nicely.

If I didn't break one of my fingers in 6 places this morning and the other in two I'd let you know Rushy!
But bringing it up and swinging it round etc it feels nice. Not that I'm a shotgun pro!

You will be in no time. It should be quite instinctive to shoot. Is the mag tube limited? What is the capacity?

Hey Rushy, yeap it has a plug in the extended mag right where it attaches so as it sits its 4+1, I think they're supposed to hold 8+1 in yank mode. I wouldn't mind just having a cap made up and running it without the extended mag since it's only there for looks in New Zealandistan mode

Dropped my 6.5 PRC Tikka into a Boyds Pro Varmint.



Pretty stoked with how this one's turning out

I broke my left hand index/fore finger playing rugby.
Doctor put it into a metal splint thingy that was meant to keep it straight.
Being real clever I thought I could still duck shoot index finger pointing along the fore end professional like.
First shot it folded up real quick.
Put that idea to bed.
