[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 10291, member: 1441"] I buy locally, it's too hard to import. It's also very hard to get decent gunsmiths here and just as hard again to find people with the actual manual skills AND the mindset needed to accept and understand many of our needs. I had a lot of arguments with one huy here who is a very good rifle builder of BR rifles, but he just plain wouldn't do a tactical rig for me. I have to shop around for stuff that can be properly modified without going outside the bounds of the law here, since everyhing must be listed on a national catalog. If you change barrel length or action type you've got a new weapon for the Italian law. The 6PPC is a near stock Sako Varminter, bedded and the trigger smoothed out. I have just found another smith that will true actions for me so I might get some work done on that rifle but not till I see it needing a new barrel, for now it shoots in the .2. Brown Dog, where are you posting from? The 6PPC for roe is just perfect for LR work, I have set up a 550m spot that I want to tr very soon, as soon as I can get the deer to coperate. For pigs it also works well because I tend to head shoot them and they have a much larger brain/vitals on the head than most people realize. I have just picked up a Remington LTR in .223 which is just going to be a fun rig and might see some use overseas or on nutria here which is a promising rifle, being a Remington action it can easily be pulled apart and trued. The Sakos are tough to pull apart(so I'm told) Sako has also discontinued their 22PPC and 6PPC but that is of little consequence since they have been so cataloged I can have one put together anytime as long as the parent aciton and barrel length remain true to the specs on the national catalog. I've just finished my culling program for this season, so I will have a dull period and will concentrate on getting some trigger time at the range as well as sorting my .308 and this new .223 out. I do buy all of my accessories in the States, it saves me a lot of mony but the shipping slow and killing me. I am currently waiting, it's now been nearly three weeks since my scope, basem, rings bi-pod and other toys were sent and I still haven't fired a shot out of my HS HTR... I've got plenty of info on the 6PPC so if you've got any more questions I'm always happy to rant about it. [/QUOTE]
