L42A1 at the range

[waco16]

Just returned from the range after shooting the L42 for the first time and am very pleased with the results.

The rifle was lovely to shoot and the recoil felt substantially less than the No4T

As I had stripped the drums on the scope to unseize them I bore sighted the rifle/scope before I left as described in Peters book, and the first round hit the target only about 3" from the point of aim - it worked really well.

For those interested the handloads used were 42 grains Reloader 15 behind Sierra Match King 168 grain.
Range was 100yds, conditions pretty good (for Wales!)

Hopefully get round to posting detailed pictures of the rifle/scope soon....
