Re: Ever Lent your gun !!
I know the feeling well.
Once i gave a new shooter my 223 and a bit of coaching he went 60/60 and 59/60.
My son has a bad habit of borrowing my rifle and cleaning me up.
On a sadder note I once lent a 243 to a young bloke and got it back in three pieces.Oh well what the hell.

Re: Ever Lent your gun !!
local 22 shoot at the pistol club
score is out of 600 odd
I'm somewhere in the 450-480 mark
as one of the RO's at the time I was there when the security guards were there practicing
invited one of the security guards along to the shoot on Tuesday night- trying to do my bit to recruit new members to the club
and she beat me with a 520 odd score and I shot 430 odd
cleaned my clock
later

From experience kids will flog ya every time...the sawn off shit now argues about which gun he's using

I know two blokes who lent there guns,
One lent his .22 to his brother and he decided it was just the thing for some Hurry Curry.
The other was a Dad who lent his 12ga to his son, he got caught shooting roo's with it and the old boy is minus a shotgun.

Re: Ever Lent your gun !!
Yep, I lent a single barrel 12g winchester shottie with ejector (it was a flash shottie for a single barrel) to my uncle and never saw it again. Even after dozens of rquests there was nothing. This was before the days of rego and I later found out that he had a domestic with his GF and the cops took it for safe keeping. PRICK
Re: Ever Lent your gun !!
One day at the range with a SLR as a young tike in the cadets I bitched that my rifle was crap. The range officer took it out of my hands and pulled off an arsey off hand shot at a can 100 meters away and handed it back to me saying "nothing wrong with it son" Later I overheard him saying that he could never pull that off again
