Stovies

Had exactly the same problem with German customs when I sent my own Schmidt and Bender scope for upgrade, from memory sat with them for about 3 months before they eventually released it for delivery to the factory.

New in packet Tikka M695 4 or 5 round factory magazine for full length and magnum cartridges.

I also have for sale a used Tikka M695 3 round factory magazine as above, in very good condition, £40.00 posted

Pleasure doing business with you, many thanks for sending the stock so quickly.

I have a T3 varmint in 6.5x55 and it measures 9" from the fore-tip to the end of the barrel, hope this helps.

Second dibs if sale falls through please.

I've just started using them in my 6.5x284, I've found accuracy to be excellent and so far they have dropped roe deer on the spot.  I had a play about shooting 6" gongs at 300 - 400 metres and they also seem to buck the wind very well.  

It may be worth considering the 6XC as a compromise, especially if you're planning to run a magazine fed rifle.

Is this now sold?

I've used the wet and dry method on my own McMillan stocks, with a bit of time and patience you can bring them up to a gloss finish.

I suspect the generation 1 HS Precision bottom metal would fit your bill, flush fitting detachable 4 shot magazines and a longer 10 shot magazines were both made by the company for the bottom metal.

Mine arrived today exactly within the time scales quoted and first impressions was a quality piece of equipment. Set up was easy, even for a techno-neep like me. I'll need to get some tempilaq just to assure myself I'm hitting the right temperature at the neck but the cases I did try all had that bonny dull sheen at the neck and shoulder akin to factory lapua. Am i pleased with my purchase, oh yes, would I recommenf, definately.

Just ordered one after reading all the positive reviews and speaking to Binszy.
