@Tribrit Start price 90 bucks-not a minter on the outside though.

Just picture a newish Finnlite with a big Gunworks can on the end of it. Now point it at Auckland and pull the trigger. Ul hit Tasmania.

Yea I saw that. Might hold out for something newer....(new)

@Tribrit all good, although if the bore was good and you got it cheap enough, you could chuck some coin at it and get @Double Shot to ceracoat it. Make it look mint then.

Just happen to have a T3 stainless 25/06 barrel, threaded, full factory length( 22.5"), accurate. Plenty of good factory ammo available.

Gimme couple weeks if I cant find a decent .270 barrel I shall buy it

Cheers for the advice fellas. I decided to just bite the bullet (so to speak).
Drove to Gunworks this morning.
Rifle is being rechambered by Robbie Tiffen to 30/06 and fitted with a 24 inch Shilen Select Match barrel and a muzzle brake.

Should be good

Poo

probably best robbie looks over the action to see if it got a tweak as well

take a look at the NZ Repeating Co website for the Criterion T3 prefit barrels as they will fit the Sako 85. Criterion are Kreuger button rifled barrels
