    It's also a thought that as you might recall from 105 and 120mm tank barrels, the fore-end also acts as a thermal sleeve for the No4 barrel. Seeing that it's pretty cold there, I wonder just how a cold breeze across the barrel would affect accuracy. It certainly did with tank barrels

    I'd like to thank everyone for their responses.

    Just out of curiosity; does anyone have any figures for the rifles that had sporty buttstocks? How many were made? Did it ever make it beyond the testing fazes? How many were fitted with the No.67 scope?
