In .223 could be a good fun rifle for range work.

I thought they would be dearer than they are. Tidy looking rifle and I dare say it will shoot pretty well.

Watcher, you're a bad man. I've just noticed that they offer the rifle in 260rem.

Mmmmmmmmm and i've been saving for the new Swarovski ELs. Maybe the bins can wait?

OK, now i'm upset!

Almost £1500 over here in the UK and only $1700 dollars (£1076) in the US. That's taking the p***!

I've just had a look round some European dealers for you Scotsgun. The most expensive is Germany where they are 1800 quid. But the cheapest is in Lithuania where they can be had for 1300 quid......

I think i'll call a mate who's imported a few rifles over from the states. I don't even know if it's possible anymore.

The stock looks very similar to that of the Lynx Target, doesn't it? The Lynx is quite a bit more expensive though:
