Sure if you have money to burn buy one, but no amount of customness makes it worth that price.

They weight more than a standard tikka.
Bet they shoot though.

No doubt they are beautiful rifles, but 20k is crazy stuff. They start at about $6k us, so pretty expensive even by us standards.

Edit: the summit is 5lb 11 so pretty light for a rifle with a 20 inch Barrel.

Yikes that’s pricey, makes some of the local custom builders look good value.

Are nzammo selling direct to th public off there website now?

That would go a little way to my African Cape buff adventure and I already have the rifle for that.
and no I don't have the coin for that little journey either lol

That is what really matters!

Mikee, you sound like you are signing up for one

Still heavier than a bog standard mass-produced 20" Savage Lightweight

Probably a bit of a step up in subjective niceness though...

Great choice in caliber reach way out there and a nice looking rig.

I should have

Do they come with a lifetime supply of custom cartridges and a guarantee of sub sub minute accuracy regardless of the trigger jerks skills level? At that price it should load and shute itself

I saw one the other day, 300WM -26in barrel....not sure what model - just saw $8k price tag for bare rifle and thought faark that

55SIX have the savage ultra lite that has the proof carbon barrel. A more affordable way to get into proof ownership.
