    Do I, or don't I?

    Looking at final sighting in for the Toby Memorial Shoot later. @TimeRider has a slightly more accurate load than mine but her rifle is only wearing something like a 3-12x40 scope with no AO adjustment and no dialling turrets. Do I give her a further advantage and put on a half decent scope and give her more of an advantage? I have rings that would be suitable for the job, but not to put it on my rifle. It would make her rig about 3x the price of mine.

    If your setting someone up you sort of have the responsibility to do the best job you practically can

    Awww fuck that PC shit. Vary the powder charge per cartridge on her, a cheap 4x second hand Tasco and some loose rings to start with.
    Wind the trigger up to 16 pounds of creepy pull and loosen the action screws .
    Bloody kids, it's enough you cloth them and put poor quality food in their stomachs, now you want her to beat you shooting.............that's whats wrong with the parents of this generation......to fucken soft.......

    If you do the best you can w her rig it kinda justifies why you might need to upgrade your own rig........an investment in your own happiness so to speak lol

    Too late. I left her in charge of measuring the powder charges. Come to think of it of any of the rifles in the safe hers is already wearing the most expensive scope.

    So the rest of you largely reckon she should get this?
