But you know you only get several hundred rounds before measurable barrel erosion, gas pressure is very high. That's the drawback

That's the drawback I wouldn't know - the last time I shot at that distance was with a Lee Enfield .303. The idea was you started at 1000 yards fire 2 shots then ran 200 yards and fired again then ran another 200 yards and fired again and so on until you were 200 yards from the running man targets. Nice rifles. |

Some barrels are better than others.   |

Lucky for us, that barrel is not eroded.

" Accurate to 1000 meters" but not much use in a crowd. Suggestion:  |

to be honest I don't think they should be sold You are right. Better a short sword. It's soo much more personal. |

Nice rifles. Ah, memories. My 200 yard running was with an SLR. I must admit I found the SLR a little of a disappointment from accurate shooting point of view it seemed not to have a straightforward recoil but felt like it was wriggling  But it had a punch: if miscreant was taking cover behind a tree or a piece of street furniture then you shot them _through_ the tree/street furniture. During the last set of 'the troubles', I had a Master Pilot working with me in Scotland who actually lived in Northern Ireland. So he would leave his car parked at the ferry port in Northern Ireland and take the Port Patric ferry across to Scotland as a pedestrian pick up the car he used in Scotland and drive to Prestwick where we were working. His car (for those interested a Ford Capri 3.0L) was broken into by some miscreants (left or right footers) who then proceeded to drive through an army check point without stopping. One of the guards fired 3 rounds from his SLR into the back of the car one of which passed through the back of the car through the car, through the front bulkhead and split the engine block - effectively writing off the car. Yes the other two rounds had the appropriate effect too - no miscreants taking off running from that type of stop as car through check point equalled bomb in those troubled times. (Note for US police- only 3 shots were fired.) |

(Note for US police- only 3 shots were fired.) I fired an slr and SA80 on firing range with CCF. SA80 was piece if pss, SLR being longer and heavy was hard to aim unsupported, we use beret as shoulder pad as the recoil left you bruised. |
