    [QUOTE=I. J.;7319822]Cheers Robin and can you smuggle me in?

    We'll take photo's, I'm having a new full bore rifle built (Keppeler) and I use Walther KK300 pistol grips, so I want them to make me one in Burr Walnut, just hope it doesn't cost more than the rifle!
    Walther KK500 Alutec expert special - Barnard .223 "wilde" in a Walther KK500 Alutec stock, mmm...tasty!! - Keppeler 6 mmBR with Walther grip and wood! I may be a Walther-phile?

    Oh you poor thing!

    On a positive note - it's (arguably) a better group (horizontally) than your last 50.

    Quite right, along side clowns, bearded ladies, dwarfs, the freak show and other assorted residents of Dundee

    Yes, I.J i think you're right, perhaps I overstepped the mark there.

    Dwarfism is not a subject for humour, however inhabitants of Dundee is a different case entirely...

    Totally agree. I get some stick due to the fact that I am vertically challenged but like I reply - God built us up from the ground upwards and when he reached perfection he stopped. Some took longer than others.

    With regards to my grouping and RIKENs previous comment. I have been known to do a 4 or 5 hole group but NOT in the 10 ring Usually a change of grip or stance brings me back on target - usually.

    There is a (stupid) unwritten ruling at our club that if you score a 50 ex 50 you have to offer to make ALL the members present a brew.

    This is a selection of what I call my 'Brew Dodgers'. Tight? Moi?

    How far back from the target did you say you're standing?
