I think the kit was about $15USD but you have to install the spring and pin yourself (apparently not very hard).

Will speak to you about the rifle basix trigger later this week

Your going to love it mate. They are the best bunny guns around IMO. What you sighting it with first up? Its great being able to sight in at 50m as 50m is only a bees dick low at 100m.

After our talk this arvo mate, can you send me a PM of that guys name with the savage.

Nice rifle i bet it will get a hell of a work out, just like a little 204 really, when you get back give me a yell and we will go silly on the bunnies.

Great little gun, and from the way Trevor had it singing this morning those bunnies are in for a bad few days.

I have one the same in Varmint profile, and installed the rifle basiX trigger that I got from Jump 70, and it has made a world of difference to the gun.

Brad Y,

I had the same thought and purchased a 6-18 by 40 BSA sweet 17 with AO off Ebay. I used it to replace a Bushnell Elite 4 -12 on my Ruger 77/17 (i was going to use the scope Bushnell for a Rem sps tact 223). What can i say...You get what you pay for. The coating scratches really easily, there is a lot of image distortion around the edges view, fairly poor light transmission and image clarity. The scope is big, a bit too heavy, but saying that the range turret is good fun and is pretty much spot on out to 250m.

Cheers
