I always considered leupolds the safe bet and have more than my fair share of them-but my then boss lent me a rifle with a Swarovski on it and my bank account has never been the same since.

Yep. its even worse when the girl friend finds the receipt and finally figures out what sort of coin you spend on guns.

just done all that to mine dtp suppressor bell and carlson stock and cut down to 17" still shoot mean and i realy like the stock its a 280ai lol

Good to hear buzzman. getting excited for it all now. picking up the rifle tomorrow and scope is already set to go. but turn around for suppressor etc will be a week or two.
also does anybody know if you have to send your bolt up with the rifle when it is being suppressed? i want to send it off to be fluted at the same time.

Personally wouldn't go back two a Swarovski but that's just what I learnt the hard way,

Brownells might work out cheaper for them, guys who import parts on here might help out with the total to door price ive been looking at getting one of these on mywinchester.CARBELITE® RIFLE STOCK | Brownells

Midway has the stock i want and is $290US so about $340 nz. has anyone imported a stock and know about gst at our end etc?

$600 really not that bad considering the alternatives

The B&C Medalist stock has been advertised numerous times at $500, you should be able to get one in NZ new at that price.

Is it more hassle than its worth to get from overseas? @rogers.270

Not sure what your implying @Neckshot but full length rifle stocks are definitely a no no, i gave a hogue up in LAX in 2011 for my winchester $200. Took me another 12 months to get a hogue through gun city $400, that wore out then 18 months for HS precision $750 through Asia Pacific which i on sold as too much of a target shooters stock, then another 12 months to get a B&C for the Winny $500 which has been mean.

Tikka are available now at but as the demand soaks up the fat waiting times could become LONG. Pay the $500-$600



Tikka prior to wight loss program and barrel chop, VX1 for roar hunt on sika

@Neckshot you now see why im so keen to hear further detail on carrying small items through ie AR15 but stock, cheap small and plastic ($70 vs $400 NZ), but hard to gauge the EXACT rules and risky in customs. Often offshore purchases just turn into a cock up and as i travel through often enough a bit of clarification can help me no end.
