Right, here is a particularly bad picture of the rifle. It has no scope yet because I need the bipod (coming from other half for Xmas) so I can set the eye relief right.

If you pester me around Xmas day I'm sure I can sort something out ;)

Also came with hard case, but not enough contrast to take the photo on the case, given the black stock.

No, don't seem to be on the mailing list, need to have a word with john about that...

Boxing day might be a good plan :) Although I suspect I won't be the only person planning on attending...

Yep I do, I am a big fan of them. There are better triggers out there, but the price is good and I find them very reassuring - even set amazingly light, they do not actually send the firing pin forward if they fail to cock properly, and it's a very nice little safety feature. This is especially true since I had the unhappy experience of a cadet letting rip with my old Remington .223 while loading it - despite countless warnings, he had his finger on the trigger as we loaded the round - cue one 69gr 224 bullet whizzing up into the sky at about 45 degrees. Still, nothing in any paper so I think he got lucky!
