cakeordeath Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Ah, thank you, a huge range then. It might be better if i sold the rifle and started again perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did that you end up with another factory barrel, you can get a sassen barrel with the twist rate of your choice for £650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-Pete Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I'd get a Bergara 28" blank from Fox Firearms and let Dave Crispin do the work.........around £550-600. Re-Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-Pete Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Location also comes into it if you want to avoid transfer charges and other shipping risks...........for me, being able to deliver and collect in person is important.
