In a few years time, when I have shuffled off this mortal coil some one will be on here questioning my Savage No.4 MK1* with jungle carbine sight fitted. :rolleyes:

IT is sad.

That 'friend of a friend' took up a lot of your time at the show and he couldn't stop talking about the No.4T all the way home. Eric was OK, he slept most of the way back but as I was driving I got...

That's another myth laid to rest... about 2 groove rifling.
Enjoy it.

My Savage No.4 Mk1* has 2 groove rifling and it worried me for a while as I only had a few rounds of MK7 to shoot and could not find any flat based ammo or bullets to reload. I need not have worried...
