Gday Brad,
whats the prob with an Omark with the top wood taken off, one of those scopes whacked on and away you go? Remember it is faithful l(which means to the best of availiable knowledge) and any rifle evaluated as well. they have to show what they mean by thier configuration as well. I don't see any prob with doing one up and competing in F2 class. Do you?
If lithy's is the genuine thing which we all believe it is and have no reason to doubt it's legitimacy, then whats wrong with a repro of that?
cheers
Ned
