Hey Jimbob,
well done on getting urrifle approved by the Firearms dept.
For the people who dont know about the UK gun laws...............well forget it. Lets just say it is a good achievement.
Do you ever shoot in East Anglia?

Sorry Jimbob I was Making a joke about your texas friend. Texas is always bragging about how big everything is in Texas I like ribbing them once in a while because Alaska has over twice the land, twice the Lakes, twice the Islands, and twice the shoreline, only thing texas does have is twice the Bull. LOL just a joke I like Texas myself.

Welcome JimBob! You sound like a great addition here. You need to give your Texan buddy a British nickname and get him signed up on here as well!
Looking forward to hearing more of your future exploits with that gun.

Hi Roklok

I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
