there's no way I can get anywhere near competing with all the wondrous stuff I see here, especially by way of the many semi-auto centre-fires which we here in UK have not been able to own since 1987.

I'm not one for most modern stuff, but I DO enjoy shooting my older rifles that are made of wood and steel. This is one of them - a 1986-built Krico 650S in .308Win. I bought it in 2002 with its shooting log with just 800 recorded shots. I've now taken that past 8000, and it still groups handloads into 1/2 MOA all day long.

The only thing I've done to it to to fit a rail with Warne QR mounts. In fact, All of my rings and mounts are Warne products. Scope from Nightforce.

Beautiful rifle Tac; love that bolt handle.

Pretty cool. You need a larger bolt knob, however.

Nice rifle, tac. I love the stock, that wood grain really completes the package.

The bolt knob came with the rest of the rifle attached.

There is a 1kg lead insert in the buttstock - THAT is not standard, but the match-grade trigger and spiffy flash hider were. I supplemented my couple of 3-round mags with a couple of 5-rounders, obtained from a friend in Canada for $50. That sure beat the heck out of the factory MRSP of eu175, eh?
