Thanks for the photos Buccaneer. They'll bring on the nightmares when I sleep tonight. I only ever used an L81 once and that was one of these 300, 500 and 900 yard comps. I don't recall how I did but I won't bother to check my trophy cabinet! OH, yes, the rail was a factory fitting. I'm thinking back now and am sure that the rail was a cheap LM type alloy that soon got chewed up by the adjustable sling loop. Maybe the Canadianicon and Aust spec snipers specified a more robust steel rail. I'm sure that the MoD spec for the rifle was the usual spec black phosphate and paint as I seem to remember that there was a note that came around that they weren't to be RE-phosphated due to de-embrittlement concerns
