Hardy Rifle Engineering 20BR

Post by Branxhunter »

Saw this over on Saubier:

"It's lockdown in New Zealand at present but with luck we will be hunting soon. Thought I would put up some pics of my new-ish 20BR. This is my second 20BR, this one is a lot lighter having a substantial amount of Carbon Fibre. The rifle itself is a Hardy Rifle Engineering "Hybrid". It features a rapid barrel change feature (the two holes on the left hand side is where the barrel attachment / tightening screws are). Many of the action parts/dimensions follow that of a Rem700, though the front end varies considerably. This has a Jewell HV trigger. Barrel length is 26 inch.

As before am running 39 Sierra Blitzkings with 28.6 gr VVN133 at ~ 3920 fps. It certainly kills well. Has already accounted for a number of magpies, plovers, and a few rabbits."

I've heard of Hardy actions before but didn't know they did a switch barrel job.
