This might have legs, oomans. We've just discovered that Lothar Walther can do stainless steel barrels and have 7.62x54R chamber reamers. We're contacting them right now...

Sporter stock on a Nagant, timney trigger plus your barrel

Ammo from Bold is under 20p a pop

Bold are great but you need to wait until they come over. Best I know over here is GBP80/500 for light ball

The Howas come with a Pic' rail as standard. The stocks do not get a good review though - might be a better option to change the stock.

Bottom metal is not available in 6.5x55 for them

Definitely agree with that statement, I had a Howa heavy barrel varminter a couple of years back. I just could not get along with the stock on it, the damn thing used to pinch my cheek every time I fired it and after about twenty rounds I'd have a red raw spot on my cheek. Back then there wasn't really any after market stocks readily available so I ended up selling it. These days stocks for them are everywhere. Not a bad rifle though for the price and decently accurate as well.

What are Mosin Nagant prices like over in the UK? They are cheap as chips over here.

I bought a Howa 1500 for my son to use, 20" heavy Varmint barrel in .308 with the Knoxx Axiom stock, very "Tacticool" and was only £750ish.

Bought the floor plate conversion and 10rnd mag from the US for under £60, only thing with the mag is it won't take anything above 2.8" so can't load any further towards the lands.

There's a Howa 1500 in 6.5x55 for sale on TSD, low shot count as well, £400ovno
