You are right; this thread has gone pear shaped and I haven't helped that situation. But to clarify, I don't think anyone is arguing we should ignore the club's policy. I believe it doesn't serve...

Edit: You are completely correct - I found confirming photos on another board. Strangely, I can't find much info about this rifle. Is it somewhat rare?
