Bloody heck that's not bad, wouldn't personally take it that far with the scope that's on it, but that's impressive.....if only 162gn eldms weren't so scarce now

I am lefthanded and struggled to find an Ultralite factory rifle without customizing something to fit and be not too heavy
Tikka rifles are good but just don,t fit me
I found a Forbes 308 L/H action rifle and it fits like a glove straight out of the box but probably will not last a lifetime but love it so I don,t care where a Tikka might if I spend the money so I got one and am slowly customizing it, work in progress as I can afford to
fitted a Stug stock fluted bolt and it had an 18-inch barrel when I got it but have re-barreled it to 6.5 Creedmore from 308 as I don't need 2 308s but will be putting the 308 barrel back on if the Forbes becomes unfixable
