    Tidying up my Tikka M695

    Hi all,

    Recently tidied up my tikka m695 in 270 win. Sanded, filled and sealed the original wooden stock.

    Killed the ever worsening rust spots and put some emergency cold blue on it. I followed up on this by getting the rifle and it's optilock bases and rings cerakoted at DeltaMike in Invercargill.

    Super happy with how it turned out. I think the work done has really breathed some new life into this rifle, the first rifle I ever purchased as a matter of fact.

    Thanks also to Shooters World in Gore for helping out with a seized and stripped scope-mount bolt.
