A lovely rifle! I kick myself for not buying one when they were available.

Nice. 243 is another favorite of mine. I might get a few extra pins made myself... Just in case.

Had one in '06 for a while. It was the full stocked version and, to my eye, just looked too long. If the barrel had been about 20" or so with the full stock, it would have looked about right. Anyway, I had FTF issues with mine and only so-so accuracy, so it went down the road.
If I could get my hands on one in 7X57R or other Euro rimmed cartridge, I'd jump at it!

That really is a handsome rifle. A touch envious here!

Thanks. I just got it ready for outdoor use. I did 1 to 2 coats of Tru-Oil over the Jim Chambers oil finish. A nice hard satin finish that really resists moisture and normal use. Just enough gloss for my liking. It was a real journey to get it to this form!
