Look at Big Frank’s Heym SR20 - at £200 with a sound moderator it’s a gift!

You must be talking about Big Frank being too old
The rifle is a gift, it will do everything a Tacticool jobbie with adjustable chassis, fluted bolt, fluted barrel and cerracoted action will do.

Best model they ever made. Proper walnut and proper blued steel. Swing floor plate, etc.

I gave it thought of buying just to rebarrel it to a proper caliber, ie. 7x57!

I've got a Sako 75 .243, wood stock, blued barrel. Schmidt and Bender(German) 8x56 that's not getting used. Would that be of interest?

 

[Sako 3006]

Fitted with T8 moderater
Optilock mounts holding Schmit and Bender Klassik 3x12x50

Still have the original boxes, every thing bought brand new by myself

Got a sr20 in that proper calibre with a proper full stock. Nice to use - a bit short in the stock for me but it doesn’t come out a lot

1:8 will ensure you don’t get caught out by the coppers

You aren't loosing your mind, but they only joined the site yesterday and it was their 3rd post, so it was deleted.
