    It appears to still have the lobbing sight on it, so you might at last have a rifle that can out distance the stirling.

    Front one but not the rear one. For some reason the rear ones are rare as rocking horse shit.

    Missing in the photo though mate. Unless it's been glued on as the flat spring and screws are definitely missing.

    That is cool Dundee. They are great rifles.
    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

    Heres my newish Tikka T3X 308.Fluted 18 inch barrel,Gun Works suppresser and Contessa rings.Just fitted a Burris Fullfield IV 2.5-10x42.Nice little light weight scope with a wide FOV makes this a nice day rifle out to 500yds.
    To turn this into a night rifle i clamp on a InFiray CH50 V2 thermal clip on.Using a Ruson adaptor it neatly just slides on the scope.Both scope and clip on have the same FOV.No zeroing of V2,just clamp on and shoot.The V2 has a built in extra length of eye peice,so its designed for scopes up to 9X,so less pixelating than standard clip ons.
    Day rifle.

    Nice. I look forward to forward-attaching thermal/night vision units dropping in price. Seems a better solution than attaching to scope eyepiece for multiple reasons.

    I thought there was no such thing as a rear-attaching thermal because they don't work through glass?
