    Will load a pic if I can find one!

    Can't post photos. Chiphone won't let me.

    Got the new stock on the old CF2 and it looks like new. Slightly scuffed new, but it's shiny.

    Genuinely delighted with this rifle. The stock shape is such that when I pull it up to the shoulder the open sights are perfectly aligned. Need to load some round nose 308.

    Looks sharp with bases removed. Just need a front sight hood.

    Minus scope and mounts I think this thing comes into its own. This thing it seriously fun to shoot, for me anyway. Plinked all my 308 already.

    Everyone is happy because the old stock found a very happy new owner who is very proud of her "rifle".

    Bergara B14 timber in 375 H&H, nice wood and the fit is pretty good also. Shoots fairly well, as shown. Hornady 300gr DGX and Federal 270gr shooting 1.25inch groups at 100yds.

    If you’re stuck and need some solids I might be able to help, but not much routine use locally....

    My latest acquisition - Husqvarna 1600 in 6.5x55
    Topped it off with a Leupold M8 4x compact.
    Good companion for my Sako Vixen and Forester, next on the wishlist a BSA...

    This thread hasn't had much love for some time. Thanks @Pav for kicking it back to life. That rifle looks well sorted to go hunting - is that what you're intending to do with it?
    @Lucky - has there been a range report, load development or tales of hunting prowess with that beautiful rifle that I've somehow missed?
    @mawzer308 - you got some big rabbits with a mean streak up your way? Has the 375 put down a charging beast or filled the freezer yet?

    Shot a few Sika and goats with the 375 h&h, works pretty well.
