    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

    I'll make you some wedges for your shoes if it helps. Save you stuffing around wedging you scope rings! Mum might have a nice pair of expensive stilettos you could borrow. I'll give you 5 bucks for your scope and take a punt
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    I will find roughly where the zero is at a hundred yards (because for now it will be the best part of two feet out at a hundred) and then when I have it there or there abouts I will zero at three hundred yards. Or did you mean where will I zero it?

    With my current load 2000 yards would require 113 minutes of up which would mean that I would be fully wound up and holding over.

    @Rushy That'll quickly bring a tear to your eye and could seriously affect your aim if your not careful.

    Sounds like you need the 20moa insert combo.

    Cheers
