    Serious trauma. Get it to the vet straight away.

    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

    Nice looking rifle. Try lobbing some 150gn NBT's or 150gn Swift Scirocco's if the SST's don't work out.

    +1, my 284 goes well with 150 NBT'S at 2970. And very accurate.

    Well I got to take the rifle to the range today and I came away pretty stoked. After mucking around getting it to where I thought it should be at 100 yards (I was not firing groups, just a shot and then adjusting.) I decided to jump in and have a go at 200 yards. Now I don't admit to being a great target shooter, so I was rapt with the results. Those are inch squares on the target so that will do me.

    Bring on the Sika next week!!

    That can be sorted, if you don't mind waiting nearly a year. Won't see the fancy carbon pattern under the fancy digi camo though.

    What length is the barrel?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    22 inches. I Thought why restrict myself by having a short barrel? Plus I can always take some off later if I feel the need. but if I cut it short first and don't like it I've found sellotape does not re-attach the cut piece back on very well.
