Santa came early 2 weeks ago and delivered the Lithgow :D Under the tree today was a coffee mug and box of chockies. No complaints here.

Now just gotta work on better setup for the bench/rests :crazy:

That targets pretty close :sarcasm:


Got 2. Funnily enough there's a feral hanging round that looks exactly like our black cat. Had the feral lined up with the 12gauge at about 15 meters the other day. Or did I? Doubt got the better of me and I didn't take the shot, the Mrs would have shot me if I shot our bloke lol. He's a good rabbiter too. Usually eats the head and one shoulder and leaves the rest for us at the back door as an offering :lol:

Santa got me a CZ 452 Varmint in .22LR, which he sneaked into the boot of my car when I was at Abelas the other day and then he got me 200 rounds of Winchester 17 Hornet ammo.

How did he know I wanted those things?

The missus got me a sweet as handmade leather sling from a bloke in Ireland, hence the Celtic design, suits the Winchester a treat!

Any reviews on these shotties yet,was thinking of getting an adler but these look like they are worth a look similar to the browning maral action with spring bolt return seen the reviews on that and looks pretty quick with the spring return

My brother left me a decent socket set and a set of combo spanners. So good because I am (was) chronically under supplied and sick of picking through crap anytime something needed fixing.

On NYE, an old hippy horseman mate declared he was moving on and gave me what remained of his art folio. Man. I was blown away. You should see some of this stuff; it is just AmAzing!!!
He said he just wanted it in a good place and that he was looking forward to doing some new stuff when he gets over to SA. So lucky to have it!!!
