@35desoto my phone banking app seems to think your account number is a digit short?

that number worked for me, but I went to the bank and got the teller to do it for me, gees that makes me sound really old

My app puts a 0 in front of the six digit account number, but I'd rather check than deposit money into an account where my phone guessed a digit

I put the extra zero in front of the 100683.

12 - 3040 0100683-02

Happy New year all
The amount raised stands at $160. If the Forum is happy I'll close this off and get the voucher for the LAd. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know and we can incorporate the wishes of those who have contributed.

The young lad is peeved at not being able to shoot ride motorbike or mountain bike yet but totally over over pureed food but healing well

I can also add that the rifle was a Savage model 110 in .270 Calibre
6 years old and well maintained.
He has a 40 yr old .22 so age of the failed rifle seems rather young.

Cheers Brett

So many possibilities it's almost pointless speculating not that it's likely to stop us.
The important thing is he's ok
So to start it off
Was it a reload or factory ammunition
Your turn

Better to be scarred by a manly calibre like a 270 - at least he can carry it with pride.

From what I understand factory/off the shelf ammo. It seems to be some form of metal fatigue but again I can't confirm nor can I speculate until Mum and Dad have the results back from the Armory

Hold off, I will make the amount a nice even number before you get the voucher.

If you are still accepting donations please let me know,

I was about to close it off but can keep it open for a bit longer - the more the merrier :-)
