    I had waited a long time to get enough together for a T when I contacted a friend over his T he had and did he want to part with it, well probably paid $500 to much for it.
    Thing is they seldom come up in a range one can afford this one looked in good condition although he did not tell me the draws were mushed and wrecked, I discovered that at 100yds with a 15" group for 10 shots off a rest!
    So that ended that friendship, got the draws permanently fixed by a master stock maker Ken Davis in Perth but there is always a silver lining somewhere!!!
    I was reading Perter L's & Ian S's book An Amourers Perspective and in the pad section I saw a rifle/scope serial No.'s that looked familiar.
    Dug the rifle out and well there they were the rifle & scope was used in front pad trials they conducted to combat the problem of them working loose.
    So what are the chances a rifle from Englandicon gone to the Eastern States comes West and is in that book still together !
