    The bolt knob appears to be at a wrong angle but that could just be the camera angle.
    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

    Nope.

    It has been modified to take Arisaka Type 30 Bayonet...
    In longrange riflery, trajectory is the pure science part. Gravity is a constant for our purposes.
    Wind is in the art department.

    34 days for my scope to do a lap of the world, visit the swaro factory, and back in my grubby mits. Back on the wee kimber and it's shooting great. Just shooting some factory Fiochi 95gr SST stuff at the moment cos I'm a lazy prick and can't be bothered reloading, it's pretty anemic at just over 2800fps but will do the job out to 300 untill I can be bothered getting on the press again. Real impressed with the little Nielson Sonic Compact suppressor, really compact little unit with stainless internals on the wear points of the baffles and total rifle weight still under 3kg. Kind of like this wee rig again despite the journey its been to get it up and running properly

    Most of you have seen this in some form or another, mk v ultralight custom build stainless action, 30 06ai finally had the time to mount up the scope. Did load development using a vx3 3.5-10×40, it's now wearing a vx5hd 3-15x44 duplex sitting in Talleys.
    Pretty sweet rig and only 3.27kg, can't wait to sight her in at the range later this week

    the muzzle brake is aluminium so it's quite light but very much needed, the ol 30 06ai has a fairly decent recoil without it pushing 178gn pills, it's a pussy cat with the brake though more like a 308 shooting 120gn pills

    Wrong bayonet

    S&W Hand Ejector in .455, should be a bit of fun and allows me to shoot classic service matches, also picked up a No4 a few weeks back that I should probably post up

    Nice to see one without a shaved cylinder. Nice gun!

    yeah i dont think we see many here with a shaved cylinder, dont really think there were ever a great amount of 45's here in the first place to warrant shaving the cylinder

    Like my last post in this thread most of you have seen this already, got my Walnut Lupo setup just about perfect now.
    It was originally wearing a vx3HD 3.5-10×40ZL, but stumbled upon a vx6 firedot 2-12×42CDS that is just about the perfect allround scope for near and far on this rig. Despite the factory picatinny rail i was able to get the scope nice and low for a perfect cheek weld with a pair of precision pro low 30mm scope rings.
