    Not as exciting as some on this thread but they are my first so I am happy!

    Field covered you reckon VC?
    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

    Yeah thats what the sales guy told me too

    The glass on both is pretty cheap but will have to do until I can save up a few more dollars for a decent scope for the .308 and will then move the nikko to the .22

    Dunno actually. I repair my own motorbike fairings on my Africa Twin (I ride it like a demon ) so I was thinking about melting it down for repair plastic. It actually snapped through the hand grip when the original owner arsed over in the bush and landed on it. I drilled from the bottom of the grip up behind the trigger and epoxied in a steel rod to rebuild it. It was fine, but just real sloppy under the barrel.
