      #259413 - 24/01/15 12:58 PM

I originally posted this incorrectly somewhere else so here it is in a better forum. Beautiful rifle with some clever features.

Every time I see a rifle like this, I have the same thought: "Too bad the bolt is on the wrong side . . ."

I have a Noske scope like that one, with the windage adjustment on the left side. In my case there is no doubt about the orientation, since it has a post reticle. Now all I need is the rifle to go with it.

He seems to be more interested in naked men than guns.

A good friend, who has a way with words, when anyone is complaining about their job, always says,
"well, someone has to clean Elton John's hot tub"

I think there is an implied comma between thanks and Elton. In other words the poster doing the thanking is Elton.

Haha you guys..or should i say Lancaster in particular, have made this thread weird :P


Shame Elton John wasn't having high end guns made for himself, rather than blasting a barrel where it shouldn't he could be shooting 2 at a pheasant.

Arkrunner's name is Elton - check his profile. He was just signing off with his name. Hope we haven't offended him - he's new to the forum.
