It's some Nice looking pictures. .. Is ther a difference between m82 and tx1200?

Small differences , some of the later TX1200 had a magazine .the TX1200 had no 'scope mountings but the holeswere there and you just need the bases and scope mounts from Clarks Gunsmiths. The M82 had only 7.62 nato stamped on the barrel top .TX1200 had tx1200 stamped , the butt spacers were present on all M82 but not all TX1200. The M82 has a bipod mounting and spigot for the Parker-Hale bipod ,the TX1200 doesn't have this but ons can be bought. It is easy to turn a TX1200 into a M82 but for the barrel makings , Norman Clark of Rugby Gunsmiths have most of the parts needed.The original Kahles or Swarovski ZF 84 or zf 69 'scopes are hard to find and not cheap. ,the correct Parker Hales scope mounts are the RAHS 4 or RALS 4 for a 26mm scope tube / body .
I am sure a suitable rifle can be tracked down and OVENPAA has kindly offered to arrange export to Denmark .
Good luck with your project , I am very happy with mine and it is very accurate .

On the point of chambers with these I have a tx1200 that is stamped as 7.62 NATO however it was put on my ticket as 308 as it's proofed at the same pressure as 308 if the laws are as restrictive where you are might be worth getting permission for both to cover you.
