What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.

Mike, it performed very nicely, me less so as I had fitted it with a Nightforce BR which is back to front for me so I dialled the wrong way a couple of times plus I am mentally calibrated for 0,1Mil clicks instead of the 1/8MOA. having said that it held a tad better than half a minute at 1000 yards vertically so it has the makings of a superb F/TR rifle.

As much as I have a thing for 100 year old lever guns and plastic/tactical, that does appeal.

But a Harris Bipod, magazine fed with a black fluted barrel in .260..... :grin: razz

It usually has a 24" bull barrel however this is it with the 12.5" test barrel fitted however this one is fluted hence the picture.

Both of those are things of extreme beauty. Shameless self promotion in those pictures though, I'm surprised you weren't wearing a hat with your logo on too!
