Morning all.

Introductions then! I'm Paul from Derbyshire. I'm a member of Staveley Rifle and Pistol Club. I shoot .22 Target (prone) and I also shoot full bore with my 1918 SMLE Mk3* and my 1943 No4 Mk2. I clay shoot as well. I'm a member of the NRA.

I'm also ex Army (Royal Engineers) so I've shot 5.56 (a lot!!)

It certainly is, even more so when someone else is paying for it :-)

Welcome to the forum Paul, lots of 5,56 is always good when someone else is paying for it. My Grandfather was in the Royal Engineers and served in France and Belgium for the duration and my first full bore rifle was a 1915 BSA No1 Mk3* with the choice being directly influenced by where he had been. They are fine rifles and everyone should own one.

Staveley... We drive from the Lincolnshire Wolds cross country to Chesterfield once a month to visit my parents in Chesterfield, always a pleasant drive until we hit the Staveley traffic.
