    What a neat little rifle, I had a couple of #8's through time. Wish we'd known where the price on them would be today. Besides, they shot so very nicely.

    They certainly do Jim, in fact won me a gold medal in a League on the Rifleman.org site, link below if you scroll down to Service class , I'm in Division 2 not the best of scores but all good fun, if you look at the winner in Div 1 he also uses a No8 ......

    I did well too, my biggest competitor was a weapon's tech that had built his own #7 and the rest used stock #7s. When there was a protest, I beat it with "The sight picture was the same"...they didn't know about the adjustable trigger. It was army competition after all...Battalion...
