That ought to do. Might as well get it doing it's "re-purposed" task.

I sort of bungled my way into a 9 or 10 point buck last thursday, hence the somewhat extended absence from the forums. Did lots of things that I don't do. Including humping two rifles out to a big open spot. The rifle that did the deed is a M40a1 clone that I've been around for well over ten years. Does have a contract overrun Unertl base, so it's got at least one "real" part. Friend later lasered the shot right at 200m, so at least there was a "little" challenge...Not mechanical accuracy-wise though! Had butt on top of shoulder whilst all contorted about, brush blocking view most of the time, etc., etc. One of the things that did resister was the throaty roar of the rifle. Sounded altogether different away from the usual range structures. One of the few times I've really enjoyed the sound of a shot going down range.

Forgot camera, so pictures to follow tomorrow.
