Good stuff :)

Let me know when you're picked it up and are ready to go, Muddy. I'm still keen for that shoot at Springvale.

Cool Lorgar,
SWMBO says it will be 3-4 weeks before pick up, however she will get so feed up with me whinging and whining that she will relent and I will get it real soon.
Just like Woodworking, Aim twice, Shoot once.

Nice ;)

Now we just need the friggen range to open again :lol:

I'm a bit pissed... I got my week wrong and got all prepped for the range this week.

Had my ammo box packed and printed and mounted a tonne of targets, all good to go.

Then realised I had the week wrong and had to unpack it all :lol:

Ah the joys of sighting in.

I remember when I got my first rifle I could have sworn something was wrong with the scope, I just couldn't get it on target.

Turns out I was just s**t and didn't know what I was doing :lol:

Hi Guys,

Here is an update to the .22lr story.

Went to Springvale last night, all going well around 70 rounds through and then I had a jam.

Bloody pill just would not come out of the action and it eventually went behind a plate and that was that.

I took it to the shop they have there and the guy said " wow that's not supposed to happen", "better take that back to where you got it from".

Well took it back to the LGS today and I was not in a good mood, (a bit concerned that a live round was stuck in the action.

I handed over the gun and it was promptly taken out the back to be fixed.

When it returned I was told, not one but two round were rammed in the action, (NOT HAPPY JAN), I new about one but the other one must of jammed earlier and I had been cycling the action with a live round jammed in there.

I was not happy to take the gun back and I told him so, so he said would you like you'r money back or a credit, no arguing, no hassle, no problems.

I was stoked so I exchanged it for a Marlin XT22 LR Synthetic stock and Stainless barrel.

I know it is not done to name and shame on here but a huge shout out to Miall's Gun Shop in Frankston they were great and deserve more business.

Will try and get out on Monday to Springvale.

I was minding my own business popping and few rounds in the paper.
I had one dud round but no jams. The had a spend cartridge chambered and one in the tube, I opened the tube to load a round and when I opened the action to load the next round it named. I backed the lever slightly and the next round also entered the breach, this caused the first round to go over the internal plate and fall to the bottom of the action.
I was aware of all this happening, I was not aware that somehow another round had fallen earlier in the session, I had been cycling and firing the gun with a round jammed in the bottom of the action. (VERY FRIGHTENING). I am so happy to exchange it for the Marlin XT-22.
