when i do my part its aok.... i thought it was no good on one session ie it was out 10" but then took the barrel off and refitted then back to original zero and it was shooting dead on again. LIKE DEAD on!

Dan made it clear to me at the start... FOLLOW the instructions! now that i do its aok. that said i havent really needed to break it down again since then as i only have one barrel at the mo.

In the legacy sports 2020 catalogue these retail for USD 6,600 starting price before options, no bipod / optic.

Though they are careful to point out it does include the bolt and the magazine...

So almost 10 grand New Zealand.

The action is actually very light. Lighter than a tikka one I believe.

Scope will be a couple pound, so yeah rifle will be closer to 6 than 7lb, nice

4.1kg big fella

@rogers.270 Did your barrel channel get layered in carbon or is it still grey filler?

What magazines do these use? Guessing AICS based on pictures?

The fancy website has a lot of fluffy marketing but not much useful info....

Yes AICS mags.

Rifle back today, bit of lipstick and a 20” 6.5PRC switch out set.
2 mins odd for me to go from .300PRC to 6.5PRC

What is the length of the mags that you are using for the 300prc? 3.715 or 3.850"
Are they the same for the 6.5 prc or are they short action mags?

they are using the same mag (not a details guy) - i went long action to ensure i could do both. due to it being light a little bit more length was not a deal breaker.
