What with reading URXs post about the 280 ackley i thought i would post about mine.
It was built by UKgunworks and i picked it up earlier this year , the specs are ...
Sako 75 long action
Border cut 26 inch 1 in 8.5 twist barrel in 280 Ackley
Mcmillan Sako varmint stock
Ukgunworks recoil lug and screws..

Early days but this how she shot testing at 725yds.. ( 5 shot group)

Pictures of the gong after 5 shot group.


And i christened it recently out stalking with a good friend - 205yds off the quad sticks - a fantastic evening out!!
Really looking forward to more testing and hunting with this rifle:D

Nice one ray that will sore them big lads out bud nice rifle mate, there will be a nice exit hole I am sure. Lol.
 
Lovely rifle.

What is the general consensus on the work that ukgunworks do?

​Certainly their rifles look beautiful, and if matched by accuracy and reliability then I will make some serious enquiries.

My personal opinion is go for it;)
I have had 2 rifles built by Chris now , i also have a Tikka T3 custom in 6.5-55 Improved which shoots really well too!!
I have shot quite a few other rifles that he has built too , all built to a high standard and shoot well.
Just to bear in mind that i use these rifles for not only stalking , i use them for long range target shooting and pest control..
If you lived closer i would say come for a shoot and try for yourself;)
PM me if you like if you want to know more!!
All the best.
