    By law, you are required to turn on your headlights if it's raining in Sweden.

    How the hell am I supposed to know if it's raining in Sweden?

    Dont mind heights but this lil cable was a bit slack for my liking, @Biggun708 basically walked through the river with his mass and a pack full of meat!!

    Not really, its just sitting in the safe at the moment. groupings i was getting werent the greatest 2 inch at 100m.. thought it was me shooting poorly but i let the expert have a go too and same results. so have concluded it must not love winchester super x ammo, wonder where i can get some sample packs... dont want to be trying 3 or 4 different packs of ammo at $50+ each...

    cheers!

    in all seriousness, i have concluded its a bit too much scope for bush.. will sell later on and get something lighter and more suited to bush.. diamondback hp 2-8 is calling me.

    yea saving my brass for possible future reloads.. do you have one of those lee hand presses? theyre dirt cheap so thinking it may be a good way to get into it. what else will i need other than the press? gear wise.

    You need a knife,a first aid kit,a compass, a GPS, a plb, a stove, a billy set, a new pack, and flowers for that pretty girlfriend of yours before you need reloading gear... Slow down young fella

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
