Square is around 10 inches a side.

I don't put all that much faith in this torqueing up action screws and such, I just do them up by hand, but then Im a bit of an old fashioned fart. :D

Mate are you ok ? You forgot about the bit i was shooting a tikka and dint even cop any shit for it :stir:

Tbh was going to get a howa but Lgs said I would have to wait a while before they were available again, the tikka came up a good price and there known shooters so wasn't too worried about it, I do love it ( not as much as ya best mate westy ) more accurate than I am so makes me look good.

Yeah, I reckon you made the right choice, the Tikka is much better than a scummy old Hoower. :D
