Sadly it has to go to make way for something else. Hopefully somebody will buy it and use it, otherwise I will remove the sights to sell seperately and junk it.
£300

I doubt if many target rifles with this action are around. Saw one like this at Bisley a few months at the 500yd firing point.
Targetman, is it still for sale?
Regards,
Krish

Not wednesday, but a few months ago. Could have been at the Phoenix meet if i remember correctly?
If it is sold I am glad. I was quite bothered by your statement that you might ditch it. Too good a rifle to junk I thought. Good luck with the sale and if it falls through do let me know as I might always have a space for a good shooter

Now this is one aspect of the FAC system that gets my goat. I've just seen this, I like it because it's quirky. I have no need for it what-so-ever, but without the rigmarole of variations/good reason/and what have you, this is something I would gladly stick in my cabinet for a couple of months just for fun! See something, buy it on impulse...... if only!
That said, PM meles meles, he was talking about a target rifle on this action.

Spot on SimG :cheers:
It is the sort of rifle that has to be owned, cherished and aired a couple of times a year, shown to mates and the sort of thing people come up and ask you about with genuine curiosity. More than can be said for a lot of the new anonymous things around these days.

Thanks for the interest chaps....now SOLD.....to the gentleman at the back with his hand up....
SimG...I agree wholeheartedly....fortunately I live in Surrey and the Firearms Licensing Dept are excellent in dealing with variations so making an impulse buy is pretty easy. I have in the past kept a vacant slot (or two) on my ticket in a variety of calibres just for such an impulse buy. Now I just tend to swap an obsolete calibre to Sec58(2) to create a slot....
