    This is the best I could do, took me an hour and a half to fuck with editing, need some lessons, it was a lot easier before I got windows 7 and no, it's not a lefty, it's just my cock up !

    The crown is all burred, Red. Send it to me with some ammo and I'll true up a new one for ya. Could have it back to you in a few months if I rush it. Ammo just to accuracy test of course.

    Cool, I'll send it up tomorrow. . . . . .YEAH RIGHT !

    The salesman here(I had it sent from hamills Tauranga to hamills here) just had to show me the Sako 338 he had for sale. Well, talk about chalk and cheese, it was like comparing a Gun shitty shotgun to a Kreighoff, but it was $6400, only $4000 dearer ! So i'm very happy with my deal

    Apparently it's one of only 5 bought into the country, and the last one will be at the Sika show, so can't see them being at that price again

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Savages were never pretty like Sako's but I reckon that there is a sort of form meets function beauty to the big girl. BTW The brake seems pretty effective, I don't notice the recoil.

    As to spare mags , they are just that , for when you destory or LOSE the mag thats in the rifle , just like losing the bolt out of your RIFLE , because sooner or later the mags are either not made any more OR are not able to be imported etc .
