Hi all i am building a rifle for guys to loan at fly shoots, when they are between guns or waiting for builds to happen, it will be a 6.5x47L on a Barnard action with a jewel trigger and all the bells and whistles, so mates like Benty can chop and change rifles and use this one in between them. Or perhaps jugsy can just use it when he can get to a shoot without having to do any prep.
I have spoken to a few guys about it and they have there opinions and i welcome the feedback. The rifle will be loaned for a nominal fee of $100.00 this will cover the ammo and the wear on the gun.

I have  been thinking about doing this for awhile now, i really want to put as much as i can into this sport to keep shooters coming to events and competing. Originally i was going to build one for new shooters however i have moved away from this idea purely for the unknown quantity factor. However guys who are already in the sport we know most of them sometimes just don't have the funds ready for the next build or are a few months short of a cost of new barrel and fit. Hopefully this is where this rifle can come into play.

Let me know what you all think, and yes purce i do know you don't like the idea and your reasons are valid to some extent.

talk soon Les
