Some of you must have seen these out now? K1-S is the medium weight, but is still 22" and not 24". Stainless and walnut, several on GB, all appear to have real nice walnut stocks.
A bit pricey but nice rifles. I think if I didnt already have the African 77 I would pop for one of these.
 
I’m a big fan of them. Mine is an earlier one that Lipsey had back many years ago. That year they had them in 7.62x39mm and .35 Whelen. I’ll have to check the barrel length…

The Model 70 Featherweight below it is in .308 Win.

I have one of the Lipseys run from the 2000s, K1A I believe was the designation. Nice little rifle.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
