Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

Hunter in .222
Should have gone with a c/m blued for the rebarrel.

You could get it ceracoated, its possible to match bluing pretty closely, and much improves the "look" of the rifle

Ta, I might look into it if the stainless look keeps annoying me. Its a vulcan barrel and shoots to well to replace.

They are nice rifles, I had mine rebarrelled with SS too, and sold it cause I didn't like the look of the result . . . . and then found out about the Ceracoat!! Bugger.

Is that a Bahco knife @Ryan_Songhurst

Pretty sure I saw the same knife at Briscoes the other day. Didn't realize they sold Bahcos.

Are the black ones the limited edition, collectable Bachos?

To the untrained eye, that may seem like yet another innocent photo of some 'toys'...

But I can see right through your UN globalist propaganda.

A knife from South America, a rifle from Britain, a scope from the USA, binoculars from Europe...all of which are strategically placed on top of a Tahr skin from NZ.

And underneath them all, providing support, is a carpet (from China).

Hey Ryan - congratulations on your first real rifle (well the first I've seen you post), don't keep it too long or you'll get addicted to blued steel, walnut, possibly stutzen stocks, and the like. BSA's etc possibly a little less likely to become an addiction, but very nice all the same.

Thanks buddy and congratulations to you also on your first witty post (well the first I have seen) its gonna be a hard act to follow but keep it up, go you!

Finished reinventing this Sako Bavarian I bought from RyanS. Ready for it’s SA Safari in July.

Big thanks to @garyp for the barrel band.

Looks like our going to need a stock pack , well unless you were born with an extended neck
Like the rifle.

Like the rife.

The comb is no lower than the Bavarian. I initially got Sako lows for it but discovered the ejector propels the case straight into the underside of the scope, ejecting 1 of of every three cases. Poor ejector location from Sako. However I’m a big guy so it doesn’t matter.
