Its the Africa model with what Mialls called grade 8 timber. I was not keen when I first judged the timber but it has grown on me for sure since.




The stock has good classic lines. I bought a blank this year for a new stock for my extreme model. IMO simply you can't get the same quality walnut otherwise from any factory stock (usually) unless some exhorbitant price is paid. JMO.

Maybe you can tell me, I'll find out soon anyday soon as my barrels should be here anyday now. They should be here already, Aust Post must be slow.

What I would like to know is does your African model have the same matt finish as the extreme model (which is supposedly rather weatherproof)? Or is it a more glossy finish?

The bolt head costs lots more but I feel was well worth it.




You're not wrong!

Quote:

I'm very surprised that for a bolt rifle it sure comes to the shoulder so very nicely.
This rifle also comes with the set trigger option.




Yes I like the set trigger a lot, never had one before on one of my own rifles.


Quote:

Upon getting it home and playing with it I must say that I am really very impressed with the quality of the build.




Good stuff.
