Ireland's Finest! Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Where'd you get that? lol. Bit mad lookin. Is it accurate? Its not your typical Rifle I'll grant ya that Was on the shelf in the local gun shop and for the price said why not. Zeroed it today, happy with the groupings. Took a crow at 85yrds with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Looks like a Thompson Contender? Very popular in the states. A chap shoots one in .223 at a club I visit now and again. It's as accurate as anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Does look a lot like a rifle version of Thompson Contender (i've fired the .223 pistol which is a bit mad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Indeed, whilst I am an ex-SAS sniper crack shot [etc] and upto shooting 704 yard rabbits free hand, I do prefer a rifle that provides with the opportunity of a quick 2nd shot.
