As for equipment race, I certanly didnt intend for anything like that, I,ve seen many in my club go down the road of buying £2000-3000 rifles and then the £1000+ scope and they still cant hit a barn door, I get a lot of pleasure out of shooting an old milsurp with any ammo, and knowing it hasnt broke the bank, plus its not just the shooting, its the history behind it.
