   Yes it’s definitely been bedded. I inletted as close as I could around the top line for the traditional look, but added some ‘modern’ features below. It’s built to hunt, and scratches tell stories! ...

   Edit: actually weighed the old girl, and she come out at 3.435 kg sling on, fuelled up ready to roll. 7.6lb which is actually not too bad I reckon. Just enough weight to shoot nicely but not too...

   I wouldn’t hesitate. I’ve shot a number of reds with the 70gr nbt (which is listed as a varmint bullet) out of a 6x45. They have a really solid base that helps hold it together. The 95 is a whole...
