OK this is shit. I just got told off by my neighbour for hitting his garage. I guess it's powerful enough to penetrate wooden fences...

Once again, this is NOT a bb gun...

Guess I will have to find another practicing ground

Edit: Yep, I will use my garage. It's got brick walls so that'll do

Yea use the garage, good idea. get some heavy work blankets etc to pin up on the wall to take some of the gunt out of the pellets to help protect the wall.

Well, I decided to go and visit the Auckland War Memorial Museum to day. Certainly had not been there in many a year.

The "Scars on the Heart" exhibition is a recommended visit.

The photo is of an original Charlton machinegun, one of only five in existance.
This is significant since it converted a bolt action .303 rifle into something with a much quicker rate of fire! (A kiwi invention.)

An interesting day. Nice to see some of my rates being spent here.

The Auckland Museum is great, full of heaps of interesting stuff as far as firearms and war goes.

Thanks for the pics

Spent the morning at the range, god damn rich bastards in their boats meant we couldn't use the longer ranges.

.308 is putting groups through one hole

and the 38-40 was out grouping the $12k mssa next to me!

Sweet as mate

I wouldn't mind a 'new' tack driver, Savage 10FP with the Choate would be my 1st choice.

But I'd rather buy 5+ older/surplus rifles for the same amount
