Something a little different. Camouflage isn't much use here.

It's plastic, you can find it in Wan Chai or Central, HKG :lol:

Plastic it may be but it's very accurate. Last time i qualified on the F88 Austeyr I scored a 70mm grouping of 5 shots at 300 metres, with a 20kph crosswind. :twisted:

The thing practically shoots itself.

Off the topic,

Hi Killakoala, where is HMAS Newcastle at the moment (if it is not classified) and how can I get a cap of her ?
Couple or so years ago I was doing some work on her and when I decided to go and purchase a cap the bloody canteen was closed !
I had to leave and didn't get a second chance.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Steve - nice capture. Just looking at the shoulders and the stance of this soldier it almost looks like a woman

Purely due to the superior optical sight, proudly made in Holden Hill, South Australia.

(The only parts of the sight we didn't manufacture were the adjusters and the reticle.)

digitor,
hehehe :lol:

can I buy one :?:

these are lot better than the one the Yank make! I have lot of inquiries of my buddies about this but I said no, cos I don't shoot with it, I shoot with camera bodies instead of.
When I was in the military, I always flew with a Browning 9mm on my chest holster and an AR15 (short vervion + collapsible stock) with 2 x 30 rounds banana mags. Used to love guns and had few of them in my collection but not anymore, sold to the COP for scrap metal! :cry:

The sight? Not a problem, it's only a 1.5x, you can buy something in the shop just as good. The rifle might be a slight problem though :lol:
