That is a good looking rifle and I would expect less of a bite than the No5 Mk1 as well. can you get 10 shot mags for it as well?

If you look underneath the rifle you will see the mag. A ten round mag comes as standard. I am actually looking for a 5 round mag that will fit if any body has any ideas I am open to suggestions.
The ten round mag sticks out the bottom of the gun with it being such a short action it makes handling it awkward. A five round mag would be flush and I reckon easier to handle.
I am after accuracy and load development I dont need to sling ten rounds down range each time. I usually shoot three shot groups.
Recoil is very light it is a pleasure to shoot.
Next time I have it on the range I will post some targets.
If I can get hold of some of Adams magic pills(HINT) I gaurantee tight groups. :lol:

That is only 10 rounds? It looks bigger, I would agree a 5 round mag would look a lot neater, if you could find a cheap spare mag it might be worth experimenting with cutting it down in length, chop the bottom off, shorten the spring and braze a cap back on the bottom or maybe just remove a slice from the middle.
