    Just an evil gun.

    Oi you. I have two rifles in that calibre
    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

    The trajectory on them is fairly flat Toby so when I tell you to start running it would be best to keep your fairly head low. Ha ha ha ha

    No. Quite attached to both for different reasons. The old Parker Hale was my first centre fire and the Remington was my first rifle bought brand new.
