The Nikko Stirling Game Pro scope offers variable zoom magnification for increased flexibility in hunting conditions. Its high-grade lenses enhance optical clarity and contrast, while the finger-adjustable turrets allow for quick windage and elevation adjustments. At lower magnification settings, the scope provides an increased field of view, ensuring targets are easily acquired. When transitioning to more open environments, the rapid zoom adjustment enables precise shots on distant targets, expanding your hunting opportunities with a single, versatile optic. The Half Mil-Dot reticle provides precise aiming points, assisting hunters with accurate shot placement across varying distances. This complete package also includes appropriate scope rings for seamless mounting.

The Sonic Suppressor, manufactured by Nielsen Gun Parts, is engineered for exceptional sound moderation across various calibres. Renowned for its robust and modular design, it is a popular choice among hunters and pest controllers who require a suppressor capable of handling high rates of fire and heavy magnum calibres. Its durability comes from a hybrid construction, featuring a lightweight aircraft-grade aluminium body with a stainless steel core in every baffle. This steel core is crucial for withstanding extreme heat and abrasive unburnt powder, preventing the rapid baffle erosion often seen in full-aluminium suppressors, especially with short-barrelled or magnum rifles. Designed as an over-barrel system, it minimises the added length to your rifle, keeping the centre of gravity closer to your leading hand for improved balance and manoeuvrability in the field. This particular suppressor is compatible with 7mm calibres and features a 1/2-20 thread.

• Stainless Steel Inserts: Every baffle includes a stainless steel core to prevent gas erosion, significantly extending the suppressor's lifespan even under heavy firing schedules or magnum pressures.
• Modular Baffle System: The threaded baffle stack allows you to easily add or remove sections, enabling you to perfectly balance desired sound reduction against the overall length and weight of your rifle.
• Over-Barrel Design: Extends back over the barrel to minimise the added length to your firearm, improving off-hand balance and manoeuvrability in dense New Zealand scrub.
• Exceptional Value: Offers premium European engineering and extreme durability for demanding outdoor conditions.
• Included Tools: Comes standard with a specialised C-spanner wrench for easy baffle dismantling, cleaning, maintenance, or length adjustment.
• Customisable Rear Bush: Includes a plastic rear isolation bushing that can be easily filed or machined to perfectly match your specific barrel contour.

Note: A shorter stock option (black only) is available for Howa 1500 Short Action rifles, reducing the length of pull from 15 1/3" to 13 3/4" upon request.
