    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

    I would sure like to give it a go. I have no doubt though that the results these days would be far different. Seeing a hundred yards through an aperture sight these day might be a tad challenging.

    What's the purpose of the carry handles on the L1a1, besides the obvious but seemingly unnecessary?

    Just the obvious, they are heavy fuckers. And you have to remember that it was thought a good idea at the time as several rifles from the same time frame had them-maybe as the into action time from the handle was much faster than the sling options of the time

    Got the new little Ruger to the range today. Took about 5 shots to get on paper then shot these, with only the time it took for me to walk to and from the 100m target to cool down between groups. With some load development and a little trigger work I reckon things would tighten up, the 3 shot group is just under 1" and the two 5 shot groups are both just under 1.5", and pretty consistent considering I was using handloads with 165gn Nosler Accu-bonds, Black Hills 175gn match and Australian Outback factory soft points. It still points well with a fairly big scope on it, and the ejection and feeding are both very positive. The muzzle brake works well, but man is it loud.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    I have just mounted a spare Vortex Diamondback scope on it, and been out to put a few rounds down it to see how she shoots...

    It shows some promise, that's 5 at 50 yards without a rear rest. It went pretty well with subs and Stingers as well. I got it sighted in a little high at 50 with the stingers, then picked out some little rocks at around 100 or so, and nailed them every time.

    Hopefully will get it better once i lighten up the trigger a bit. I think its a keeper!
    Wohoo! Good to see it's gone to a good home. It's looking great

    Haven't posted in here in a while, here's the latest acquisition I got a while back.
    338 Edge, 24 inch barrel, single feed, predator action, christiansen carbon fibre stock, terminator brake. Got rid of the nightforce and replaced it with the steiner T5XI, lovely bit of kit.
