Went to the range today (cold!!) as just put on a 6mm Br barrel on my Chassis rifle and went to sight it in. Pulled in and hear a few shots then a louder one. Got out of the truck and went around the back to get my stuff out when a fellow comes around the truck next to me, blood dripping off his face, as he sets down what was left of his rifle (rear tang screw holding on what was left of the stock). I knew right away what had happened so went and got the first aid kit and alcohol pads/bandages to help him stop the bleeding. Took awhile, but staunched most of the bleeding. He was lucky not injured worse. Kind of stunned. His friend grabbed their equipment and packed up their truck. He and his friend then left for home.
I could tell he had his shooting glasses on as that was the one part of his face not stained with blood/powder residue.
WEAR YOUR SHOOTING GLASSES!!
Blood was on the scope and what was left of the rifle, not to mention where he walked and on his shirt. You could see the trigger assembly almost totally as everything forward of that was gone, bolt locked of course. Kiss that rifle goodbye.
