    But before coughing up the readies, I’d be keen to take a few shots from one, as I don’t have much experience with cannons of this size. I’m keen to get a feel of the recoil and how difficult (or not) it is to spot my own shots due to hunting solo predominantly. Is there anyone localish to me that would be happy to let me have a go on their long range 7mm? Happy to travel a few hours, and compensate for time and consumables. Having a crack at a gong or two would be ideal!
