    Hahahahaha!!!

    Where's that pic of the three forum guys (or were there four?) with their dacks down, looking at a pond with their shotguns at hand? Black lab in the pic too, I've got it saved on my laptop... Was my screen saver for ages. Hard case that.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    A bit with that rifle when expecting to fire a few shots from the prone position. The 9.3x64 weight 8lbs, with the same or a tad more grunt than a 375 H&H. My Brno 602 375 is 11 lbs. 5 shots 4 rabbits all taken without my teeth falling out or detached retina's.
