I have some pictures of the M85 with a sniper cheek piece, I will dig it out and send it over to you

From memory it doesn't look like a very attractive piece but I am sure that it would do the job

Hi Glen,
I have M87 S/N 02115C recorded as being produced on the 2nd December 1988 firing a 17.9mm group at 100 yards 10 rounds. No scope fitted.

Added post: Lincolnshire Police purchased rifles either side of yours but no record of a definate transaction on 02115C

Thanks Gil, I think it was chambered in 243win when it left the factory and was a police rifle according to the previous owner. It is now chambered in 6.5-284 and I am the new custodian of the rifle. It is maturing far better than I am!
Regards
Glen.
