    There are also a couple being cleared out from ex-sportways stock on there, in 223 and 243. (tme username hv6) Ex-samples, priced a shade over $1k


    Definitely agree with Tahr about throwing a suppressor on... but I would say that about pretty much any rifle.
    Yeah thats the one i am looking at, will have a shop around thanks guys

    If it doesn't work out for you, you won't have any trouble shifting it. You will take a hit, but that's why i'm here

    I always thought I had pretty long arms for my size until I got into rifles!

    Took it out for a shoot today , has a reasonable kick and one ear is ringing like hell so i think it will be getting a can put on at some stage. Ended up with a 3 shot group of around 30mm and im sure it can do a lot better when i get used to it.

    Don't forget ringing ear = permanent ear damage.

    Hearing protection is always a good idea suppressed or not.

    FYI if you forget ear plugs at the range chewing gum works just as well
