@BowldRob Hi Rob. That magazine standing proud of the rail can be a problem. Brocock make a swept Picatinny adapter to fit the dovetail rails on the Sniper. That could work if you mount it facing backwards on the rail behind the magazine. Best to visit a shop and try it if you can.

I’ve just received an email from a teacher who‘s enlisted the help of three @ShootingTimes contributors, to create material that he can use to teach his yr 8 pupils about conservation. As he puts “their love for the natural world around them is infectious”. Simply, I’m very proud

'Lancashire animal save' have attacked the Holcombe Hunt NY day meet. A woman with a megaphone screamed 'shame on you' in the face of a 12 year old girl causing her pony to rear and fall. Can you identify the woman with the microphone? Call Lancs Police on +44 845 125 3545
Just to remind you that if you have a grassroots shooting event however humble that you would like included in the Shooting Times events diary you just need to drop me an email or a DM. No charge, no publicist required.
Support British produce, British farmers, high welfare standards, fair prices & quality. Don’t think that by going vegan you’re saving the planet/animals. You’re simply exporting your food choices thousands of miles away & having even less idea who is producing your food/how.
