I have got a couple years of xmas presents early! Collected my new FTR rifle from Mik and Tina at Dolphin Guns yesterday.
As always besides been super friendly gracious hosts - Mik and Tina run a top class shooter focussed business.
The package content and manner they deliver their products is world class.
Bang for buck you will not find a better product - heck for double you wont!

Mik had my load confirmed and tested in 20 odd shots :o - I still have no idea how he just knows what to do.
He is the Jedi Master of Ballistics - I is the grasshopper! emrolleyes
Thanks M & T!

2 Tone colour scheme Blank - silver - black - silver - black

I was lucky enough to run my hands over this last night and test drive the trigger and the whole package is rather nice. Given the way you are shooting already ENS I have great hopes for you and the new Dolphin rifle fingerscrossed
