Some interesting things at a recent range day

Hi Everyone
I love going to one of my local ranges every month, you get to see and play with some very cool stuff. Check out the following, some of which are very rare in deed
This photo shows a Martini Henry (.450 caliber) and lying next to it is one of my Lee Enfield's (.303)
Below is a De Lisle .45ACP that belongs to another chap at my club...lovely and unbelievably quiet!!
Not so rare to those of you 'across the pond' but very rare to us here in 'Blighty' is the magnificent Savage 12 VLP (.223rem)...I love this rifle. Shame it came screw cut but I guess it's just my destiny to get into Hunting again 
At the bottom of the picture is a French MAS 36 (7.5x54) belonging to the same friend that owns the Martini Henry above (for those who care!)
And my Howa Varmint (.308win). I have to say this to anyone who's thinking about getting a Howa....DO IT!! The accuracy is simply amazing, out of the box with Prvi factory ammo (142grain .308 match), i'm putting 20 rounds through the same hole (all be it a 1.5/2inch hole...but good enough for me ) at 200 yards.
For those of you with eagle-eyes, you'll notice that my Glassware isn't the best but you gotta start somewhere....and i'm doing just fine for now. However I have been recently between torn between one of those NightForce Tubes and my bank balance...I wonder who'll win!?!?
All the best
