136972 Not the greatest pic, but thats as it sits as of a few minutes ago. Its a 1640 with the longer barrel rather than the shorter 1600, probably not quite bush hobbit worthy - too long. Have...

Have a look at another thread then. You will also find repeats in the "forum name" thread, and the "guns you wish you never sold thread". Guess these things just keep coming up.

Emails dads stag scored 326 DS from memory which is pretty decent for what they class a 10 pointer. I think the stag in question at the start of the thread was better taken out than left in the herd.
