    Quick bit of practice right now, from what I can see through the scope I have gone three from three onto an A4 size plate @820, just walking down there to validate now as noisy tractor in paddock beside me so couldn't hear hits

    Ah I see the earlier "heeeelp oh heeeelpkind sir" was nothing more than a smokescreen that you were changing your scope a day before the shoot...

    I call "burglar alert" and if that wasn't enoughto ops that, but trying to make poor old Dundee and his 22lr feel worried by then posting a 800+ meter 3 shot group all nonchalant like.... That's a worry.

    Haha, well this rifle is turning up in pieces from all over the country so I envisage a bunch of blokes who all know better than the next bloke squabbling in the corner of Brads woolshed trying to piece it together like some kind of grown-up Lego party

    About 4" across, up and down was only about 2" or so, nothing wrong with the load!
    Anyhow, Munsey I hope you're an appreciative bugger, even washed my truck!
