    For Gil Boyd

    Had my 1200 P H out at the range for a dust off has a 26" Bartlein 1-12 TR on it pretty happy with it hitting a 2" gong at 214m every shot. The scope is a cheap as MARK which I may ditch and put my spare 3.5 x 15 N F on it.

    Ron,
    My advice would be to leave it where it is mate, 2" disk is not to be sniffed at, at that distance, bearing in mind original sniper rifles were only ever destined to operate at 400m, so on that basis alone, she is still on the money and looking great too.
    Thanks for the shots

    Standard trigger that was worked by my gunsmith with a trigger shoe breaks cleanly with no backlash set at @1.5 - 2 lbs very light have been rough on purpose with the bolt to see if the sear drops not an issue does not drop. As I have given the walking long distances on a hunt I let the bullet do the walking so having a light trigger is not an issue firing from a fixed posi. Just to clarify that I do not walk around with a cocked loaded weapon it may be loaded but the bolt handle is up before I get taken to task by implication
