    The moment when......

    as above i thought i would start a fun topic


    That Moment when....... you have grabbed the wrong bolt and mag load of ammo!!!!

    Due to wanting to get rid of some pre xmas lard.....yup pre xmas lol i decided on a walk to an old haunt. Normally 2 hours in and 2 hours out to Smiths Creek Shelter is what i had usually allowed when going into here, now i have not been in for ages as i have hunted further afield. The main aim was for fitness but gun came along as there have been the odd redskin floating around. Anywhoo i loaded the kids in the truck ready for the bus, the fat lab and crazy vizsla into the back and went in to get my 708, grabbed the pouch out of bolt compartment of the safe, loaded bolt in to rifle and put mag in my pocket and off i went. Get to the carpark and 4 older folk were getting geared up for a trip in also. Let them know my intentions and i was off. Rifle on back and we set a path upwards. about an hour into the journey and i have my elbow resting on the bolt and all of a sudden it dawns on me.....this bolt does not feel like the one i should have in my 708, i look down and sure enough i have the bolt from my .284 (it has an oversized handle) so no issue, both Tikka bolts....oh shit i think, if i have the wrong bolt then surely the mag is from .284.....yup. So out it comes and back into my pocket. Thankfully i carry some spare rounds on my belt. : :


    So there you have it my "The moment when......"

    Please feel free to add your own.

    She was not likely to worry about you calling her Grunhilda GM. First wife Sue, second wife Jacqui, been with second for over a quarter of a century and still fuck it up. Don't sweat the small stuff I reckon.
    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

    It's easy for me remember @Rushy, the Mrs just happens to have the same very uncommon name as my first girlfriend.
