It came as a bit of a reality check the 1st shot.
I had forgotten how crude the trigger pull etc was on these venerable old girls.
Which made me stop and think how we (generally speaking) seem to be so caught up these days with the modern way of things.
ie: jewel triggers, set triggers, recoil reducing gadgets etc etc.
Taking all these measures to be able to hit the target / bull at xxx meters and so on.
The boys that were handed the old three o threes,, and sent off to fight had to make do with "one size fits all".
Yet despite all that, a large number of our boys became damn good marksmen with these dinosaurs, with open sights to boot.
Really opens your eyes when you stop and think about it all.
Are we all a bunch of pussies, wallowing in technology these days ???
