    Real simple fail recently when I fitted my new Boyds stock on the 6.5. Got her all oiled up and looking good but never tested the action when I assembled her. So I'm at the carpark at the end of the road and the bolt appears to close but I can't fire the action. Course numbnuts me forgot to carve / dremel a groove for the bolt handle...

    Real simple fail again when our au pair (young french woman) pulled out of our driveway last weekend and didn't see the dark blue van coming from her right. She wore it right in the drivers door and is not at home here with a pelvis fractured in four places, waiting for her insurance company to fly her home. Of course the win is that she is still alive but instead of running her back to Palmy hospital for xrays today I should be out bush for my first week of leave...

    Fail before that was me only taking out 3rd party fire & theft cos we never have crashes... Name: 10007051_10152086951394926_1281937531_n.jpg Views: 629 Size: 158.8 KB

    Damn Feral that is a run of bad luck. You need to go bush and shake it off.

    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

    Look on the bright side Feral, you now have a convertible. Not much good in winter unless you sling a tarp over it on the trips to Palmy
