Yes from the age of 16yrs I won a couple of medals at Bisley. Now at the wrong side of 60 I have a SSG 69 7.62mm Manlicher with a Nightforce scope.
A Browning .223 A Bolt with a Bushnell scope and a Converted Lee Enfield Mk 1V by Fultons of Bisley firing 7.62mm with a Edgar Bros scope. Shot in the PUK championship the year before last at Bisley.Missed out this year due to cancer op but will compete this year again,if my good luck holds out.All rifles zeroed in at 100yds and ready to put at least 3 rnds in a 3" grouping at 600yds.
Must confess I find today's shooting a bit of a cheat. Telescopic scopes and a bipod Pah. In my youth iron vernier sights,a two point sling and a trusty .303 service rifle achieved a more satisfying result especially when the old mince pies were a bit sharper.

I have a clutch of sporting rifles (all with scopes) in .308, .243,.223 and 2 x .22's.
I took up hunting with rifles in a big way after they took all my pistols away. I shot all the pistol disciplines from precision to practical for the national Police team and the Met.
I don't use rifles so much these days as I am heavily engaged in game shooting with shotguns.

You must have come across Dave Goodfellow (Ex met and TDT) in your shooting career. Now Team Britain olympic adviser in shooting.

Sorry gness.In no way did I intend to be rude to you. it is a sort of humour that only people like shoota may understand. We existed on banter and a comic noire type sense of humour .It was a type of pressure valve in times of stress which will go to the grave with us.I wouldn't expect you to understand but again I am sorry if I inadvertently offended you.
Sorry shoota. Dare not elaborate on ASPOM. I seem to upset the delicate sensitivities of most on AB whenever I make an innocent remark or give an opinion. Give you a clue. First two letters are Arthur Scargill and last stands for mortgage.Few tie pins of that were struck but I doubt if you will find those on fleabay.
Oh I understand. Whenever I remark to someone that I am heavily into firearms and shooting I find I have to defend myself that I only shoot paper targets that do not any longer portray a Hun's head.Otherwise I am seen as a homicidal maniac intent on taking out the staff and infants of the local creche.
