It looks like his Tikka T3 in KRG X-ray stock.

A rather badly photoshopped image!

What are you talking about, that guy is clearly there

DR
The range licence your club has shows what MOD/DIO are responsible for and limit of liability (they are not liable for much) and the lower age limit of users.
Your club Risk Assessment & RASP covers what your club has in place for elderly / infirm or disabled shooters. Your own club insurance covers injury and damage etc.
The MTM fold up benches would be good for use instead of a trench as would shooting prone next to trench. I would not encourage any one using a trench if they needed help to get in it, a little help out would be reasonable.
At the end of the day the ranges are for the training or troops who are fully fit and able and not designed for children, disabled access or the old & infirm.

Actually it's a Tikka T3 Super Varmint in .308, it's in a KRG X-Ray chassis with Nightforce 5-25x56 ATACR scope in Innomount QD mount. The suppressor is a Tier-One Spartan III reflex, and the bipod is an LRA F-class.

Here it is side-on ... ... ...



However, it's just had a make-over, it now looks like this ... ... ...

The range is the glorious location of Cawdor in NE Scotland, home of Cawdor Rifle & Gun Club. The photo is taken on the 100/200yd firing point looking down on the Gallery Range and 100yd targets, with the butts and 200yd target frames behind.

The range goes back to 600yds.



Here're the whole range pictured from the 600yd firing point. Besides being home to Cawdor RGC, the range is also used by th Highland Branch of the BDS, and by Strathpeffer RPC.

There is of course a negative side to this glorious and very functional range - zillions of voracious biting Scottish midges in the Summer - Arggh

Very pretty. Give our regards to the thane next time you're there.

Bloody things were the blight of many a childhood holiday north of the border to visit the relatives.

Dear Mr Plod,

In anticipation of a holiday o'er Hadrian's Wall, we'd like to apply for a belt fed semi-automatic shotgun and an unlimited supply of birdshot....

That won't work on midgies badger: your gun would melt before you got them all...

Dear Mr Plod,

Further to our previous variation request, might we now have permission to acquire, for vermin control, a Shilka.
