    It certainly doesn’t win any beauty contest but I reckon it would be a shit tonne of fun in a PCCK.
    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

    Man after me own heart! Shooting short arms should always be fun.

    Marlin 308 18” barrel - awesome gun for bush with a bit more reach with what I think is an awesome scope for both. Name:  IMG_2656.jpeg

    I bought this Levtac 357 a little while and ago. Not a bad rifle but a bit rough around the edges. I rounded off the loading port edges and reduced the mag spring pressure so it didn't kill your thumb, had it cerakoted satin black, changed the spring so the ejected cartridges didn't fly two miles away, and loktited the rail bolts in so the scope didn't fall off (yep, it did this). Much, much better rifle now. Small, light, and packs a punch. Happy days!

    My sister's rifle I've been playing around with. She bought it all new and gunstore set it up for her with a rail and rings that had the scope up stupidly high, it also had a really long suppresor on it and was quite unweildly to carry and shoot and she reckoned it was just a bit heavy all round.
    Managed to pick up a stug stock for it and gave it a bit of a tidy up, dremelled the remington bedding out of it and re bedded it, epoxy repaired a big chip missing out of the fore end and chopped the heavy limbsaver off it as it had gone sticky anyhow. Did the "redband jandal pad" which actually turned out quite good if I do say so myself. Turfed the rail and put some "nikko talleys" on it and it's much nicer to handle and can get behind it much better. Suppresor went back in the cupboard and now has a radial brake on it (you only need one shot anyhow..)
    Quite impressed with the little Burris fullfield 2 3-9 she had on it, glass it great for the money and it feels solid and has a nice simple holdover reticle. I've just picked up a couple boxes of Precision hunter which I'll chrono and make a chart for the reticle. Should be a decent wee Tahr (and wapiti!) slayer now.
