You are very welcome Ken, it is 200 yards so bring both! COF is 10 rounds which should take a couple of minutes per person which leaves plenty of time for a natter whilst for your turn, or heckling the next shooter, plus we have a practice/zero target however we may need to operate that one ourselves, hopefully we will have enough volunteers and time to shoot a few rounds each.
I will be shooting .308 and .303 - both scoped as my eyes are too old for open sights these days. Christel will be swinging her 22C around and if we get a chance one of us will put a few more rounds through the 6,5-284 which could make a good McQueen rifle when it has had a few more rounds through it.
I suspect we will see some serious good natured competition going on between some of those attending and I hope to be pleasantly surprised by the results.
I hope the prize will be sorted and here in time as well.

I don't know what you mean, I would never do such a thing!! You both know how much I respect my boss :55: and all the nice things he does for me
I'll see how the work goes, if I'm done throwing nasty big switches I'll see about a day off

Do you mean personally owned rifles? If so I would only choose three for myself.The first two are ethically pure rifles used in the spirit of the competition:
Accuracy International 7,62x51 - It would have to be shot with Milsurp.
No4 Mk1(T) .303
S&L 6,5x47 - I have not shot McQueen with it but I will do very shortly and given the 12X 'scope and slick action it could be quite handy.
If I wanted to shoot for maximum points then I would steal the Vikings 22C
