    Wise words again from Sentryduty and Big Duke. But to be honest, the L85A2 was as good as anything else. I was there during the late UKicon trials and for the first of the 'new A2 rifles coming in. Very little to complain about. You can add stuff until the cows come home but under the skin it was good with little to say against it. I don't feel that I am permitted to say other things.

    If nothing else Peter, I do admire your blind patriotism
