    Congratulations GM. Proud owner of another .243. ahem for her of course.
    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

    Yes this will be her first rifle. Thanks for the scope offer but I already have a scope sorted. There is a Pentax Gameseeker awaiting.

    Bolts on the wrong side, but never mind.

    Someone would like to bowl something over this weekend. Might get it quietened first. Start by threading and can use my 243 suppressor for now. I can always use my 308 suppressor as that was also set up for my 243 initially too. Also need this years range ticket to arrive so I can get my key re-cut.

    Hmmm! Should I replace those bases with an EGW rail? There is a spare one sitting in the parts bin looking unloved.
