    You can have them over your shoulder in a quiver so that you can make a quick assessment and attach the appropriate barrel.

    I'm not sure that it would work on NI Sika, but you should have time on those dozy SI reds.

    How accurate is it between barrel changes?

    Must be gutted but it must look a bit silly in the long action anyway...

    Looks like the real deal and you'll have plenty of time to practise before next years Tahr hunt. The 140's would be good for those 350+ shots. I'm working on a 6.5-06, been practising at 300 and hopefully next week at 400 !

    Cheers - Foster

    PS - I'm still with a 4x but will soon have something with more xx's and able to dial
