    Had butt markers. No muzzle flip, there's a compensator and the recoil reduction system pulled the muzzle a little to the left, but the target was still visible through the scope.

    Lydd is on the Romney Marsh midway between Rye and New Romney. I haven't shot on every serial there (they have 65!) but I don't know of one using metal gongs.
    It's used by the army for training troops deploying to Iraq and Afganistan so has paper targets, falling plate, electronic and long distance sniper as well as "urban" scenarios.

    they are put a fox target out 130 yards
    put 3 shots down and the only way you could see the 2nd shot was the way it came out the back of the ply backing
    Cheers would recomend one to any fox shooter
