Did you think about lower Rings?

Chili </div></div>

Yes, I wanted lower rings but with the USO bubble level it would hit the parallex adjustment. Then I could swap the ACI and USO level around, but then the USO obscures the ACI... catch 22.. its fine.. have adjustable cheek piece... I may grab a set of lower rings to check it out though!

U dont see many custom tacticals around Australia!

Very very nice

Stock cost you much? </div></div>

Mate

There is quite a few custom tact rigs in Australia, you just dont see them!

The Manners T2A cost $860AUS a while back, but they will cost a significant amount more now due to the "sole distribution" going to Lightforce Australia. Like I said, nothing like paying more for a item than you did beforehand!!!

96C.. only reloading for this rifle!

Kingston... the reason for the long action is for seating lengths. If I were to run 200+ grain projectiles with the 300WSM in a short action, the projectiles will be seated very deeply in the case, taking up valuable powder space.

I am very happy with this rifle, and the 300WSM.. just awesome!

I gave the winchester brass a light skim over with the neck turner, and annealed it also!

Cheers
