Our club had one of its regular shoots at Wathgill 6c ETR range yesterday. The weather was warm and sunny with a refreshingly cooling breeze. Amongst our guests was a first time shooter who is now christened "Sniper Steve" , his first shot with a Pecar scoped Steyr resulted in a split forehead.
Once he had been plastered up Adam and i took him under our care and proceeded to coach him in the delights of old service rifle shooting.

Re: Scope Rash!
Bloody hell, pommies in shirt sleeves 
You blokes having a heat wave ? Temperatures over 15 degrees 
Better make sure "Sniper" has some sunscreen for his head.
What's with Adam ? Carpet burns on the elbows again ? Dragged kicking and screaming to the range ?
Enjoyed the pics Joe, thanks for posting. What tasty piece of kit have you tantalisingly placed just out of view in the last photo ?
L42A perhaps

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

Re: Scope Rash!
We are having a heatwave Graeme, and its very nice 
The rifle just out of shot is Adams 6.5 CG63 Swede, and it is stonkingly accurate with the reloads he had knocked up.

I can see it in an earlier shot now.

Re: Scope Rash!
In that case I was at least close.The rifle with the No 4T scope covers on it isn't the GC63 its my L39.
