    Gun Porn, show off your new toys

    It is under MOA yes, but for that one cold barrel shot (I am told)it would have been ridiculous and well under.

    You know my maffs is shit!
    Like I can't count how many snapper were caught this past weekend.
    I am stuck on 1 for some reason!

    Couldn't have the catch going past your counting ability now. I cant find your security mug, must still be down there.

    OK so I got a little carried away - Howa in .308 and a Marlin .22
    Not as exciting as some on this thread but they are my first so I am happy!

    Now to see if I can remember how to shoot given that its 18 years since my time at Bisley....

    Field covered you reckon VC?
    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

    Yeah thats what the sales guy told me too

    The glass on both is pretty cheap but will have to do until I can save up a few more dollars for a decent scope for the .308 and will then move the nikko to the .22

    Running 62gr Barnes TSX in our WSSM but ya gotta seat them deep. Kills everything it is pointed at very dead. Never tried A Max. Your rig seems well balanced. Top effort.
