So this is an Australian Special Edition.
You get a muzzle break,spare mag, oversize bolt handle and soft grip modular stock. You also get the thread cover if you don't like the muzzle break.
Has a Burris 4.5x14x42mm BDC scope.
Will, weather permitting, run some rounds through this and report back on the rifle,scope and 3 lots of factory 55 grain ammo.
cheers

I doubt he'll be disappointed. I've had the stainless laminate one for a few years and it shoots comfortably under MOA for 5 shots with no handload development at all.

First 3 shots at top.
Next 3 around the center.
These shoot well. All factories well under Moa for 3 shot groups.
For a 3.5kg rifle it surprised me.
The barrel cleaned up well. Copper and carbon came out without a lot of hassle.
