That will do nicely!

Out of interest do you know what the bolt core diameter is or would you mind measuring it if you get a chance? I have been advised it is 16,0mm however I have a feeling it is a bit bigger than that.
I will have a look later.

Well spotted! :lol:

Put it on to weigh the rifle and decided to leave it on. As I said on the S-Class website I don't have a problem with them because it's attached to the rifle and in any case I use it as a hand hold rather than a rear rest - but I'll leave to the "Technical Committee" to rule on the legality* or otherwise!


*I'm happy to rule in favour regarding Scotland! O:-)
ILLEGAL! :lol:

:o NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Image

All I can say it didn't help on Tuesday - more bounce than a paddock full of kangaroos!

Waterford103, you'd be more than welcome. :good:

My thoughts on the cost factor - http://sporting-class.com/wp/?p=79

I'm not going to begrudge someone shooting an expensive rifle - it's their money - just as long as it's legal. In any case, if I was feeling particularly malicious I would just shoot in the same detail as them - the muzzle blast from my rifle is something else! :55:

I have just checked and it is 16.0mm. I don't know if different models have different bolts?
