G'day felles,

I'm stoked to introduce my restocked 416RM Winchester Safari Classic....

It's had, in addition to the stock, a Duane Weibe floorplate, metal grip cap, chequered bolt release, NEGC front sight, barrel shortened 1" and rust blued......

I'm very happy with the outcome

Mark, quite frankly that is a POS, I'll give you $50 for it

Very nice piece of timber you have. Did you select it yourself? The blueing is superb and I like the front sight. That is a great rifle and if it shoots half as good as it looks it will be a keeper for sure.

Cheers

Greg

Thanks fellas.

Gee Greg a generous offer

I actually picked the blank from Vardy's stall at the Wodonga Deer show 5yrs ago...

Cheers,
Mark.

Ripp what are you doing? $60US is about $61Aust, you'll have Mark thinking the rifle is worth something.

Mark you do have a good eye for timber.

To be honest Greg when I picked it (and this was my first attempt) I was looking at more subtle $3-400
blanks but saw this one and it caught my eye....... It turned out MUCH better than I imagined

Cheers,
Mark.

P.S. The offers are close

That's the plan Adam. New career as you know and income stream is somewhat less so have to get on track. If Stu has some deals going let me know, I may be able to talk Saros into it too

Cheers,
Mark.

Might be able to sort out a group Buff hunt into the Swamps of the Zambezi Delta. Will follow up a contact.
Guys, If this idea is of interest please let me know so I can push for some serious pricing.

Adam,

I would like to hear more about that and am interested in seeing if a group NE hunt could be put together. Send me an email when you know more.

That is a nice job - all round - exceptional wood.

With its apparent weight, it should be an easy shooting rifle.

Beautiful rifle you have Mark.

Go hunting!!.

Meh, yeah it's got the look's, definately, all due credit's goes to the artisian that put it all together for you. But for my money I'd rather use em for what they were designed for than rather have them wraped in cotton wool and admired, but hey that's just me. cheers

I think you will find that mark has had that up in the NT hunting already. He does not leave them sitting in the safe.

For twelve posts, this almost sounds impolite. Mark has already taken a fantastic buffalo with it, and is soon to try for a banteng. It isn't a safe queen.
