You have done the right thing John .Scrapped your old rifle for a tikka .Swear by them myself .Im wanting a 308 in tikka t3 lite but need to sell the Remington before hand .Will change the .22 for a tikka as well in time .
Our force does a one for one same day but you must surrender one to a rfd before getting a letter to take to Devices HQ .
Never had any trouble waiting for a one for one here in Wilts .Mate in Somerset has waited 3 months for a one for one due to this lockdown shite .
Have to have a day out soon mate ,should be a shed coming up ,ill ring you .
