Why do people not learn to shoot accurately, it only takes practice. Within reason if you can shoot one rifle you can shoot another. I shoot 100 rnds of rimfire every week on an indoor range, it teaches you hold, trigger and sight consistency. From shooting 1moa at 25yds I now shoot 1/4" moa at...

The problem on mine was the feed rails didn't lift the bullet higher enough and it was hitting the flat of the barrel well below the chamber. The answer was.to built the front of the new magazine until it lifted the front of the round and the bullet up high enough to enter the chamber instead of...

After 4 rifle smiths couldn't sort it I did it myself.

I had a MK V that was originally a 30-06 re chambered to 6.5 x 284. Which would not load from the mag. I had a drop out mag kit fitted because the supplier said it would sort the problem. It didn't. I ended up glueing running strip to the mag to lift the bullet higher so that it entered the...

Not too much gun just the wrong bullet if you had shot it with a fmj it would have a neat exit hole. I would probably have run off, but with a neat hole

My pleasure Dennis What else would you like me to look for.

I don't quite agree I asked the surgeon to make my ankle at 90 degrees to my shin as previously when I smashed my ankle in the mid 70s they did a lousy job of it, but it was a compound fracture and they set it slightly toe down and it caused all sorts of problems.

I have a 12 inch rod up the inside of my shin bone which was held in by 6 screws the only one that caused me problem was one that was in my heal about 10 o'clock at the back, so I had it taken out under local anaesthetic. I wear Irish Setter boots.

I had my right ankle fused 9 years ago, the best thing I ever did, the only problem it causes is you tend to be flat footed and have to climb steep hills on your toes on that side. I am still hunting the same ground in Scotland I always did. You just have to do it differently.
