    A post revive. Picked up Tahr's old model 7 that cartman had. Aiming for a light weight rig for Fiordland this season and other hunting. All up weighed in just over 3kg. The laminate stock is 1.1kg of that. Stripped and found it has an alloy shroud which was a nice surprise. Then went to town on the metal. Made a few holes in the bolt handle and magazine. Metal weighs 1941 grams now. Thought of slabbing the action but probably wont bother. Carbon stock to make next and sell a child for a March scope.

    One side done.
    Might flute the shroud and the firing pin too. Hoping for 2.4kg with no scope
