    Settled in the true ANZAC spirit.
    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

    ideas pls?
    If it's the old Omark I had, yep if you run hot loads for it, it doesn't like extracting.

    It is a very fast rifle, factory blue Federal 150s go 2950 ish IIRC, I put 6 into 10-11mm or smaller

    So you don't need to run it hard, it's extremely accurate got approx 1.5" group at 800 ish with it, with FMJ Lapua.

    It has about a 30" barrel that has got fine turning marks on it, looks as rough as, but man it can shoot
    Overkill is underated !!!
