Yeah SSAA have the police thing in the rules but we don't so that ones out of the question.
Look I agree with you it's a debatable subject but each association has it's own rules and run with it.
as for the AI, yep agree but the repro M40 USMC sniper rifle repro'd out of tassie look OK for comp at a lot cheaper price.
As I said get over to the west bring your Ht's, No6 and what ever else and have a shoot with us, you will enjoy it much more than over there, it's the fresh air!!!
