Massive price drop £599 now for an S&B Zenith

Hi - I bought it second hand. They come with lifetime warranty. I am based in the New Forest

Huge price drop - £2k scope for £550

Good price below for anyone coveting one of these style rifles for Africa or similar larger game: https://www.guntrader.uk/guns/rifles/mauser/bolt-action/375-hh-mag/m98-250709115238001

You could get something very similar to a Rigby HS by buying a decent base rifle and then spending the money on having someone like @AdamBragg create you the stock you want. The original stock could even then become your wet weather spare! There are a few examples in the Holts sealed bid that...

I certainly am. Great to be able to buy handmade things from a British craftsman. Now I just need to you to make that leather bino shoulder strap idea ;)

Thank you - I should clarify - I want an internal magazine and floorplate, no detachable mag

Can anyone tell me where to source a Sunny Hill bottom metal for a post 64 Winchester 70 in the UK? And any ither options/sources. Intention is for it to be a classic rifle build and so will eventually be blued.

Thanks - FYI the bolt seems pretty nice with Hornady Precision Hunter - the two I tried that were stiff was PPU & Norma Whitetail - both softnose. I like the idea of trying rust blueing at some point, however, atm I am really pleased with the result of the cold blueing. Interesting on the mag...

Cold blueing came out really nicely. I don't think I can tell the difference in colour at all. Touched up the end of the barrel too. Happy with that. Time to find out if it points in the right place!
