I’ll get those pics out.
New Zealand Walnut | NZ Walnut – Gun and Rifle Blanks Supplier, New Zealand Here’s where I got my walnut from. Brian has a 25% off at the moment on some stock:thumbsup:
8X57 was what I wanted but could not get the barrel so went 7X57 and still happy
Whose built/building you the stock, sideshow?
Cheers for the link, I'll have a look!
Was going to suggest a Mauser M12 Impact in 308 I have one here its a really nice rifle , the build action all very good , feeds ejects flawlessly ,the decocker is pretty neat , trigger 2.5lb , cant see my self parting with it .
A good choice on the BRNO. I had a ZG47, had an action to rival Tahr's Shultz and Larsen. The 8x57 will do everything a 308 or 30-06 will do, mine likes the Speer 170 and a full case of 2208. The one you have bought looks a real nice firearm.
Phil Turner of Bozard & Co here in the UK....but I'm sure you can find a good stock builder in NZQuote:

Kevin Gaskell did my Custom rifles
Didn't realise you were in the UK mate! Geez, you've really got some crazy good options over there.Quote:

I've met Mr Keown - yep, he does amazing work. Last time I got I'm touch with him he was quite busy with his knife making.
Bloody nice rifle, @MSL. Dig the grain pattern. What action?

Christ - I thought my x 9.3x62 was a canon
Did your fire the Forking thing :mouse:

I have my 9.3x62 going at 2260 with the 286gr and honestly I'm not too sure just how much faster I'd want a lightweight Husky to go.
My immediate thoughts after using it on Sunday to crack some Nth Otago limestone rocks are... not much.
I hope you carried some of that rock with you and didn't just leave it out to rot in the sun!Quote:

Ah! I recognise that rifle. You sold it to Stug, right? I bought the other rifle in that pair (a 7x57) but sold it earlier this year.Quote:

Like the grain and stock shape though:thumbsup:
Bluing looks to be absolutely spot on too:thumbsup:
Too much for rabbits? Nah, never too much. Perfect for goats and feral cattle.Quote:

I was going to say Thompson centre topped with some good glass but with a 5k budget maybe look at a styer.
Ask @Boaraxa about his new Mauser… Man that thing has some neat features and it can shoot…
