For these not familiar with QED, roughly translated from the Latin it says "All that was set out to prove has been proved".
Hopefully you still have yours in 45 years.

45 years ago I brought my first rifle a .22 rimfire Toz - 17 it cost me $49.50 from Ian Ballangers Victoria St CHCH. Still at school so worked for my Dad on weekends filling up waste takers (called skips now - the big ones) rubbish on construction sites- $5 per ship.

Great wee rifle really accurate and I shot a lot of tree eating $%#$%#% goats in Marlborough sounds - when it came to tree planting mum used the point and dig approach - she would point and I would dig and plant the tree. Next time we went to the Bach the goats had turned the tree into a stick

So I got my 22 and declare war on the $@$@ goats and shot every single one I could find - 40 gn solids slipped into the ribs behind the shoulder right where there diaphragm is and they did not go far before tipping over. Sold the Toz sadly got one of those Chinese Jw15's now - Toz better in my view.
