Excellent, hopefully you'll get up to the next big bore shoot.
Picked up this today Sako Finnfire P94S .22.
Described as mint, I'd have to say it is with no flaws I dont think it's ever been removed from its stock - I'm certainly happy.
The previous owner had been given it by his father as a 12 year old boy and had done the odd bit of bit of plinking.
My kids are at an age now where they are keen on looking for pests, one day it will be theirs.
The bluing is nice, even high use areas like the bolt handle.
I havent shot it yet, it came with a Weaver 2.5 - 7 x 36 that will be fine for now but will likely look for somthing a bit nicer.

He even produced a suppressor for it.
Once I saw the original box and instructions I was happy that this was a clean little rifle.

That's a perfect set up did the guy trade up to a jw15

I remember seeing one late eighties/early nineties in Reloaders in 6.5x55 I think (might have been 7x57), still regret not buying it. Cheers, CharlieQuote:

Long action, short magazine Win 70s where heavily used in competition because of that. Short and super fast bolt manipulation and nearly impossible to bind up.
Bomb proof trigger is major plus.
Yep. Just load some rounds and go shoot s@#t is the way :)Quote:

Very nice indeed
So deleted previous post with double up photos. American walnut. Rediscovered the NECG aperture sight which is a neat bit of kit, but Leupy 4x fits well too, eye relief a bit of a stretch.Attachment 144671Attachment 144670Attachment 144669Attachment 144672
Ohhhh.....*wanking noises*
You can get an extended base to move the scope a bit further back
Ahh, but then the objective bell would touch folding rear sight. I’m a bit of a ‘stock crawler’ and the Leupy has just enough eye relief. It ain’t broke...If it was an issue a straight tube scope eg 1.5-5x would be a option. But the 4x just seems right. CharlieQuote:
