Hi All,

I've been asked that do you miss the most from the military, that's easy, free ammunition!!

I'm English, but I can get my wife to help out, she's the Scot. She also only sounds Glaswegian when drunk, or angry!

Everything over here is normally a good bit more expensive. an AXMC in 338 will be £6200 or $7900, what do they cost over there? These might be not dissimilar with import costs. An RPR in 338 is £2500 here, or $3180 I'm sure that's a lot more then you guys pay.

I worked a lengthy project years ago with a first engineer from Glasgow that I could mostly understand until we started drinking. About 7 pints into the evening I would just listen and say yes or shake my head yes and occassionaly get a strange look indicating yes was the wrong answer.

Figured it would be cheaper since your a stones throw away from England, AXMC on sale here is $6,750.00 and the AXSR is $8,975.00 US. Don't know what that converts to pounds because I don't have a scale,why do they weigh your money ?
