Thread: Resurgence of interest in the old "Three Oh"?

Not as accurate as any of my Swedes, but a completely different experience. I believe I will get used to it, esp now the trigger has loosened up so first and second stage are discernible.

I did the same thing a few months ago using GCs Greek surplus and was all over the place but 180gr PPU was bang on for my no4mk1*
