Hi gents
Good to see the younguns getting into firearms.
I have a story for yous that happened to me last weekend and after 40 odd years or shooting that made me think you can never be to carefull around fire arms.
I took a couple of rifles out for a shot (the two brothers ) as in pics bellow and after shooting a group with the .243 set up the .270 WSM on the bench rest to do the same and as i got settled i had left my ear muffs on the tailgate of the ute,so i got up and walked around the front of the rifle (no room betweeen set up and ute to get around the back) i looked at the muzzle as i went past and noticed something in it.
Turned out the be a .22 case logged in the muzzle ? WTF and i must say it wouldnt of never fallen out it was hard to pull it out with a pocket knive levered against the rim of the case.
How it got there.
I have more rifles than rifle bags so they get swopped around a bit so this bag must of been in the ute when using the .22 to shoot out the window and a case has been flicked into the bag and has been ther for dont know how long,the .270 was put into the bag and yep ended up in the muzzle..
When your lucky your lucky and when your not your not.
Anyway they both still shoot all good.
