    I still keep my hand in for selected jobs/customers provided you are not in too much of a hurry (yeah, yeah! I can hear you saying 'So what's new?'). PM me if you have a need.

    haha the contraption worked really well. Managed to get it zero'd and fired 5 additional shots onto the target for good measure. I wondered if anyone would be there from the forum :)
