    Well after a bit of a dry couple of weeks I got this bigish calf this morning. I was at about 75m when I saw 2 together and they didn't seem to mind what was about them. So I took this one from kneeling.

    Nice one Clive. Good big fella, I expect he'll have a good layer of fat when you skin him out. That let's treated you well.

    Sako 75 varmint .308 with flutted barrel the laminated version but in the synthetic stock. I don't have a good photo of my rifle with it's laminated stock, so here's one from the Sako website.

    This is what it looks like in the summer.

    Sako 75 .308 Bushnell 6-24x50, CZ .22lr style shown but now the varmint Bushnell 10x40 , Cz .223 varmint Bushnell 6-24x50.

    Hi Clive,

    Do you mind me asking where you bought the synthetic stock?

    The Sako stock came with the rifle, the dealer had sold on the laminated stock it should have came with.

    I got a laminated stock off e-bay @£;104

    Not that i know.
    I sanded out the barrel channel some more as it was touching a tad when I bought the rifle. I can get a folded euro banknote between the stock and barrel so it's floated OK.

    It seems to work OK and groups well.
