    Do `t have much time last time to read the whole thing, because I have to drive to Qtwn for a dinner scheduled. I like the old ways, even I am not an old man. I believe these old rifles with open/ iron sight can make an accurate shot out of 500 yards. Some shooters in past they did have the talent, some in present day they just do `t know how they are capable of yet. I like sniper movies too, "Enemy at the gates" is my favorite.

    This is the name I put up in post 7 but obviously most have not heard of him. Possible the first legally shot Wap (under licence) in NZ was his. Also was a 280 Ross user as a couple of them were. Vivian Donlad, well worth a Google.

    I tried to read the whole book at the cafe shop, but clock was ticking so I took the picture for read it later. I like history, stories, tales and even rumors.
