Lovely set up! Thatbscopes a long way from lightweight though!

You I agree that scope does not belong on a light.weight rifle. Completely at odds to the concept

Absolutely brilliant scope none the less, and 1 of my want to tries

That’s has to be the longest non-competition stalking rifle I’ve seen. Each to his/her own though. Great for the hill, less so in a tight wood. My S&B polar is awesome but bloody heavy for a lightweight rig.

Lovely calibre, not so fashionable these days but I love it. I spent the morning at the BSRC Interclub match using mine (Sako75 stainless synthetic) to good effect. Over 25 years old and still shooting 1/3 moa.

To be fair that looks like an end of barrel moderator

correct- there is an over barrel printed mod but is even more ridiculously expensive

it’s the end of barrel mod. it funny you say not for the woods, i wanted a polar for exactly that scenario.

Totally agree with you and my polar is on my woodland rifle. The point I was making (and clearly not that well) was that, irrespective of the use, the polar is heavy so any set up aiming for a ultra lightweight status probably shouldn’t have a polar.

It's a lump, foolishly, as so am I, Ive set my sights on learning to hunt from ski's so I'm making a 6XC of a similar weight
I'm having a sell off to pay for a FFP meta when thy are released at the end of the summer.
