    No criticism intended Grandpamac. It's funny, 20 years ago I couldn't wait to get rid of the last of my 30s. All range rifles. I'd also owned ex rifle club SMLEs at one stage. They were sold and...

    I was hoping it was because the bullshit filter was bogged down getting rid of Covid and politics threads but sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case.
