Are the pics of the new rifle restricted, cause a friend of mine, who is an adult instr withe the cadets, would like to show the rifle to the cadets.

Just an update from brecon in relation to the cadre,well to start off with the top dog competition went very well,with one of the fire teams wining from D coy,so well done to D coy for there efforts,and also well done to the remainder of the battalion who took part in the competition.In regards to the sharpshooter cadre they were blessed with some very fine weather,well one dry day at least:laugh:,we started off with grouping and zeroing at a 100m ,and progressed up to greater ranges,i had W02 JONES18 as my RCO, so thankyou jonah for your help with the running of the range.We did not however manage to go all the way up to 1000m,due to time.However myself and W02 JONES are going to look at having a day or to down in altcar ranges just prior to xmas,just so that the guys can get a chance to fire the new L115A3(338) up to 900m.
