I think it's beautiful! It looks sufficiently ferocious that I've just decided to shoot F-open again at the WA Queens this year so I can avoid competing against it
cheers,
Andrew.

Hmm nice. Showing true colours there. Or maybe they are just anti F/TR colours.
I would never comment on another person's rifle such a way. Everyone’s tastes are different, shame not everyone was raised with manners.

Look forward to shooting with you again at the WA Queens Locky.
Are they running Open again this year?

Don't know - I hope so, otherwise I'm going to have to work extra hard with the .308 barrel screwed in. Last year they said we needed a minimum of 5 registrations - which we got. I've got at least two other guys from my club keen to come along this time, so maybe we'll get there again.
Opinons - they're worth what you pay for them, and like sphincters, everyone's got a few
cheers,
Andrew

Looks very well made and similar in design to my new stock Linda. While others might be getting their knickers in a knot over what it looks like, you'll be getting the job done...
Would be great if you can have F-Open again at the Queens Andrew. Numbers are growing in Vic and SA recently - just keep squeaking the door.

That is a very good looking rifle Linda, I have always liked the INCH/Eliseo combination, the front rest looks handy as well. I like the idea of the carpet tile as well, a very nice touch that must help the tracking under recoil as opposed to the feet bouncing over grass a dirt.
Is that an inverted foresight mount at the front or some form of tuning?

It is an old foresight block. I use it for tuning the resonant frequency if required. Otherwise known as a barrel tuner.

Locky, if you want Open, you are going to have to approach WARA through your council delegate.
I will also approach ours. The next meeting I believe is in August.
Not sure if Rod will be available to shoot Open in the Queens this year. We are also be shooting the Nationals, and will be sending rifles ahead of us. I think Rods will be one getting sent. Might be able to rustle him up a Std rifle, if he is keen. Otherwise I'm sure he will appear for some stirring.

Is the bipod Rod's work or someone else's Linda?

Have a look in the supplier thread.
It comes from Davies Triggers (and bipods)
