    Ah --- got you Nick.



    All the best Mick

    Can't see that being too much of a challenge for Nick, Paul.. Altering a production gun or doing a bespoke one?

    Hi Nick, I assume the 21 has a shorter stroke than the 20 so which has the nicer cycle/ least recoil or is it too close to call?

    Yes correct the 20 mm stroke is a lot longer though interestingly it feels as fast but far softer , re the sight picture movement , need to shoot them in anger , Sunday should help having another opinion, but the acid test will be getting it into my ft rig and shooting a competition.

    "Wow"?. Just "wow"?.

    Is that it.? After all this excitement, build up and sleepless nights and all we get is bloody "wow"?

    Ah, of course I jest, Craigy. And if ever there was such a short but meaningful little phrase conveying the message, "wow" is surely it.

    Hope you had a most revealing and enjoyable time.

    Now, more details, please........

    Guessing you'll need to thaw out properly and may have plenty of daddy duties to perform and brownie points to claw back!
