Great stuff! Good to see the kids involved too.

Never really think of the 88 as a sporter, we don't see many in Australia. I have a Commission Rifle
converted to the S-bore (deepened rifling, spring-loaded retainers in the action-rails, notch in receiver-ring,
mag-floor cover etc), and love shooting it at the range, but need to reload as the mil-surp ammo
I have heaps of sometimes hang-fires.

Very under-rated cartridge for hunting large pigs and deer-sized game IMHO. I hunt with a mate who uses
the 8mm occasionally, to good effect on large Northern Territory boars!
