    My Williams peeps have a sliding bar that clamps onto the dove tail so doesn't mark it. [See photo for a better explanation.]

    A good fettle, PTFE blocks in the cocking lever slot, a Vortek PG2 spring kit, and an appropriate lube : the rifle now cocks and shoot sublimely.

    I must have been lucky. The two I acquired (mine & Zoomas) needed little fettling - just a re-lube, a couple of bearing washers and the trigger tweaked - and they are great. Resting I did a 49 ex 50 @ 10m.

    Tis true - the pair of HW30S that IJ acquired for us are very good.

    The action has always been superb on them and Ian's minor tweaking just made them even better.

    I found the rifle a bit small, but the Warren Edwards stock has made it a perfect fit to compliment the excellent action.

    I understand the IJ has has his stock cut down to make it fit him better

    The answer starts with 'N' and ends in 'O' because it may make me one SHORT.
