Congratulations to Mr Compton, fantastic achievement.
Love the rifle, a fine example of British sticky tape engineering at its most effective.

I think the actions a paramount, so must be fairly old. Its good to see that one of the great prizes can still be won with talent rather than cash.

Older improvised rifle, 2 point sling, and apparently he borrowed the jacket for the day - and he shot a 297 (x300) in the final of the Queens :clap:

...I'm running out of excuses!
