Wow .338 whisper is a great idea for one of these.

How much is a K95? Cant be much behind this?

How would you make these without using a Lathe ?

The Blaser is a beautiful rifle for sure but I doubt it weighs in at around 3-3.5 lbs

K95 start at NZ$6100 they are the best of the takedown as th scope can be removed and replaced without losing zero. Can be had in calibres from 22 Hornet right through to 338 Blaser mag. About 5.5lb bare weight.

How do you find the Rossi mate, are they ok to use in terms of accuracy and function, I hear they can be a little poor on quality control .

I had a Baikal 243 for a while. It could do nice 1 inch groups @ 100m. It was a bit agricultural, did a bit of work on the forestock and that helped a lot. It wasn't a light rifle either.

I had the bergara 16 inch stainless takedown in 308 was kick ass gun folded down to nothing . Shot everything I put through it sub moa I was loading subs for it they were a little bigger groupings but I never did and development just loaded and went for it. Cool gun I'd own one again in a heart beat.

Anyone suggested a Kel-Tec yet ?
Im not sure if they are any good .... but they are relatively cheap.
They are on my list of things to try out some time, but buying one to try and not liking it means always loosing plenty of "man cash".
Two full mags in stock and one of those stored in your pack would eventually drop something.
The Winchester 223 62 grain power point ammo is cheap and does deal reasonably efficiently with reds.
The peep sight should be ok for 100m I guess

@Alonzo had one and promptly got rid of it.

That's pretty well what I was expecting to hear.
They should work as the sights are fixed even though it folds.
Why did @Alonzo get rid of it exactly ?
Or were the reasons too many to list ?

I though one might be a good beater to leave in the back of the truck all the time.

I was hoping he might add to it.
From memory it was because it was cheap and clunky feeling. Doesn't really help the Kel-Tec that he likes the finer things in life and just because it might do the job isn't enough.

It was more of a novelty for me that had no real purpose. Bullets come out the correct end.

I'm using a Thompson Contender (older original style, sometimes referred to as a G1) with 30-30 barrel, a DPT suppressor, and Bushnell red dot on top. Done away with the plastic foregrip to reduce weight, DIY carbon fiber tube to replace it. Barrel fluted, length just over minimum. Weight 4.5 pounds as you see it in pics. Can take it anywhere!

Getting around 1" at 75m. Haven't really given it a good thrashing yet. Build quality of metal is very good. Pivot is tight and a very positive lockup.

i would assume any problems in the original build quality/design would have been fixed by the gunsmith when it was rebarrelled . . . . so not representative of original factory Rossi's
