Hi All,
There a re couple of things i do not understand from the previous threads
1) Don't Cz offer the 6.5x55 SE, because they sure used to! in fact I was looking at a CZ 550 American in 6.5x55 the other day in my local Gunshop
2) Err why not hunt with the Kimber ? after all that's what it was made for
my bespoke rifle cost a darned sight more than a Kimber yet it goes a field and in fact just before Christmas took a nice Roe Doe. That's what it was built for and I use it for that purpose
Now to answer the critique about costs, well yes I could have brought at least 2 Remingtons for the cost of the Medwell & Perritt and that's at our UK prices. With US prices I could have brought about 4 Remington 700's for the same price
however the thought never entered my head.......... why well it's simple I do not like the Remington 700 one little bit although I have never seen or handled the supposedly better made "Classic". As for top notch glass well the Medwell wears a 6x42mm Schimdt & Bender in Apel EAW swing mounts, so it does not get much better than that
and no I am not wealthy either.
The only thing I will not do with the Medwell is take it by airplane as I could not get enough insurance to cover it's replacement
I got a quote from the makers to replace it and the insurance folks did not like it one little bit
so I took a std production rifle instead not that anything happened to it but it's better to be safe than sorry
