Well look at what the joey drug in from the NT! Looks like a pretty exceptional butt Paul, how was your season?
 
G'day Phil.

Thanks for your comments on my butt :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:, nicest thing anyone has ever said to me :whistle::whistle:.

Please see me recent comments in my Buffalo hunting in Arnhemland thread in the hunting in Australia section.
 
Oh crap! And I can't edit it now!!!! Forever more in the annals of AfricaHunting......:cry:

Yeah, I saw after the previous post the sad news and posted over there. Will be sad not to see you in Dallas my friend.
 
You are not getting away from me THAT easily !

I WILL be in Dallas in Jan, you WILL see me and we WILL talk about my butt again :ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL:

He better damn well be, he's going to owe me a beer or two by then!
 
G'day Fellas.

BB, I will do my best to try attend the Dallas "shin-dig".
Look forward to seeing you and all others there, and also looking forward to all the free drinks Phil will be buying me !

Spike, I don't know much of the tech aspects of the V.C rifles but yes you are correct in recognizing this particular frame as light, small and trim.
I particularly like the way it carries and balances for shooting.

In the process of balancing V.C places a small lead weight threaded on two screws and fixed in to the hollow of the butt-stock.
It is quite an easy job of removing, which I did, reducing the over-all weight of the gun down to 9lb 10, which for me is a perfect balance of carry/shoot.

P.T.
 
Ken is great and so are the guys from Verney/Carron! I think you'll be very happy. Mine has the palm swell and I was very iffy on that....small hands......but it seems no problem and is easy to hang onto.

Sounds like you pretty much have it covered, but I might suggest an articulated front trigger. Can save a bit of knuckle whacking if your hands get sweaty.

Best of luck with yours!

JTEX, everything you say Ken and the fellas at V.C is right on the money.
They all made the process so easy and fun, no grief or problems what-so-ever.

I am VERY satisfied with the end result, this is a very well built, accurate and comfortable to shoot rifle.

Happy hunting,

Paul.
 
Glad it worked out so well for ya'.
