    Get a couple of extra fingers and toes sewed on and you will be more than welcome.

    Had my forum beanie, but left it in the truck. It would have made a better photo if Mr spiker was wearing it. Weather is abismal here at the moment. Last hunt/walk for yet another month.

    Not this far up. It gets black and gutty buy the time it gets this far. But yes, the lower reaches do very well.

    Finally. My Grand Slam turned up from Optics Planet. 6-20x

    Took it out yesterday, couldn't get a decent group but it was blowing like hell so gave up on trying to get a good group. Save it for the range. I just plinked at some steel plates at 200m instead. Good fun.

    Yeah, considering that, got one on my 7mmRM, seems to shoot ok though (5mm group at 50m, haven't been able to get it to the range yet and shoot at 100, just a quick sight in the backyard!), just got to wait a while for the wife to settle down! They don't understand why you need more than one rifle! Just makes no sense to them!

    Ask her if she would be happy with just one pair of shoes?
