    Cheers lads.
    To be honest they all tend to shoot much the same. Go lean over the counter at your local and get them to let you have a play with whatever they have. Shoulder them, work the actions, check the ergonomics, ... Remember which one it was you were reluctant to hand back because it felt good and buy one second hand.

    Sock drawer doesn't sound very secure. Need to think where the Mrs NEVER accesses.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
