Looking good there mate. You'll have to let me know when your planning to head out. I think we need to plan for a fine Saturday chasing furries down in the dunes - DC's .204 vs your.308 vs my .22-250

Looking good there mate - what load were you using? Did you have the Rifle Basix fitted?

Did you fit some lower rings too?
