What the hell do you shoot with the Feinwerkbau"Fine work shop"as 6ft lbs which is "off ticket for an air pistol"is like taking an A P 50 rounds Brands!!!!

I think my Uncle would love to chat to you two blokes, he does all his own homeloading etc. I never really got into it.

Competition shooting in the Army was as close as I got. I was only ever good with the L1A1 SLR 7.62 rifle. I came second in my battalion. I didn't really get on with the F88 Austeyr 5.56 - felt too plastic'y' and lightweight.

At least with the SLR there was more carnage

NBs996 · 25-Oct-2005, 00:40

SLR, hmmm... t'was my favourite. 8" group at 400 yards was the best I could do tho

er - salesman.

monstermob 998 · 25-Oct-2005, 00:51

nick--- your SLR probably wasnt straightened out mate "they're all like that sir"-- with a bit of fettling and a good barrel and a bit better ammo than the MOD can supply is easily capable of 'sniper accuracy'-- only ever used one when in the TA shooting fig 8's at 600m
