I thought they were meant to he 5 shot groups .....

Bugger Chappo I bet that ruined your day. Was it just the trigger squeezer or you think something else?

Is that a full sized fly target as well?

Is that a wind chart on the rest leg something?

Yeah I fell in love with it years ago and only managed to get hold of it when the owner needed to offload it. Don't think I'll ever sell it. Paul read of Aussie rifle stocks did the stock work. The blank was done by the original owner and is a two piece laminated stringy bark wood. I have another blank exactly the same as the plan is to make a matching heavy gun to go with the light gun one day.
