Shame you don't get to shoot it more often.

Just for my friends Adam, Joe and Dave ... here is my target.

I used my M1895 Dutch Long Rifle converted to .303 Inch by the Indonesians in 1954 .... I think Adam would be proud I own a weapon in this calibre. I have two of these.

I shot this kneeling. I used Commercial ammo Federal 150 gr. ... I had to finally breakdown and buy .303 Brit dies for it ... gag, gag, gag ... lol ... Ok Laugh Adam ... Mon. French shooting a gun in .303 ... how dare I ... lol, lol.

Score = 85 ... not bad for non-French gun

It is good to be back ... I had told Adam this ... my laptop harddrive had crashed and all my French stuff was in there and disappeared, gone, wiped, EXTERMINATEd (lol ... I love the Daleks). I had several back up disks and guess what they were bad as well ... so I was frantic ... everything I had written, saved, etc., etc. was gone forever. Well my brother the computer genius got ahold of the drive a recovered it all ... he slowly re-built it all back up and now it all back. What a relief it is to have it back again. He made special disks to save the stuff for me so it will not happen again. I am now in the process of trying to sort it all out and getting back on track with posting the stuff ... It may take me awhile to do it as I have been really busy with work getting ready to deploy to Iraq later this year for a 6 to 9 month tour.

I am really glad you recovered all your info Patrick, it would have been a real bastard to lose all of your hard work like that.

Please be very careful on your Iraq tour, the situation is very volatile out there, Good luck,

Joe

Patrick,

Thanks for joining us and nice shooting. Your score has been duly noted and recorded.

Incidently, Adam has a warped sense of weapon quality. This is probably due to his sitting on it all of these years.
