Just to update this thread, if anyone is interested.
I have ended up buying a second hand tc contender in .308 with a older gunworks can and a Leopold ultralight 2-7 scope from a forum member.
At some point I'll get it recited and cut down,fit a new can and scope but it can wait as it looks like for the next few years I won't be back in nz as much as expected.
To prove I'm a slow learner it's going to live with the guy who fucked up the blr.
50% a storage thing and 50% the fact he fucked up but did what it took to make it right and I respect that.
