    Really impressed with the overall fit and finish and if it shoots as good as it looks I’ll be as happy as a pig in the proverbial

    Got this back from Mark at Waitaki Engineering today. Shortened it right up so now it's about 15"
    I had to engineer some Talley rings for it and has a wee Leupold 2-7x33 on it. It's almost comical how light it is.

    Have you shot it yet mate?
    Interested to hear what groups you get.
    My wife has just bought one in 7mm08. So far at 100y it is shooting 0.9" with 154gr SSTs and 1.2" with 150gr ballistic tips.
    Observations so far is that the stock needs bedding and the trigger could do with some work (it's currently just over 3 pound).
    It's an absolute dream to carry in the bush!

    @Ryan_Songhurst how does that Howa go? Been talking to Mark about one but fair to say his reviews are mixed at best!

    Yeah, it's on my shortlist for a new rifle, but not convinced.
