Someone should send the Dubbo Pig Rifle to Ian McCollum for a detailed history and review

The big question here is why.
Be pretty handy in the swag for two legged ferals. Prefer a 7600 Police 308 for that though.

Change ?
Why would you even want to see/read the advert number, before you even get to see what the advert is for ?

:crazy: :crazy:

There was nothing wrong with the layout beforehand.

I'm a strong believer in "If it ain't broken,,, Why fix it.

:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: to the new layout.

i agree . it's like why did sako stop making two lug rifles for the flawed three lug design . they could've just used the modernised the stocks (sako 85's have the nicest ,balanced stocks for me ), and introduced stainless versions on the old actions . the new mags that top load and are removable are a great idea too . but no , they had to bring out the poxy three lug with the ejector moved to a position the flings cases up into the scope turrets and drop them back into the receiver . i bought two long action sako's new and sold them due to this problem . i wont buy another .

Has anybody noticed that many of the private seller listings can't be contacted.
No phone number or button to click to contact seller through internal messaging service.
Looks like the software update was managed by "AI".

Just thought I'd mention the site was in beta about 4 months where they asked for feedback, i think heree too?.

Currently there is a thread on reddit and peoples suggestions/complaints are being fixed and making their way onto the site already.
So it's nice to see things getting fixed.

Listing number is already gone! so thats good!
Theres also just a new just firearms section.

I asked for sorting via price to be added and they said they're working on some back end changes over the next day or two. So progress!

Not that I use the site much, other than checking if something I want turns up.

Everything is working fine and quick if the seller is responsive and checking.

I pounced on the camo pattern Tikka stock and he quickly replied, accepted, and I think he will send it straight off.
Only hold up was the bank had issues.
It wasn't bargain basement, but fair and killed 2 birds with 1 shot as it has a Limbsaver pad that will hopefully fix that wrong Tikka angle causing muzzle jump.

I wanted a light staino camo mountain rifle but the T3X was new and not available at the time.

Just had a look. It seems ok.........but I will admit when I go on the site, I am probably more of a tyre kicker. I do most of my purchases etc through the local network of dealers.
