How long is that barrel?
Of course you can have a go
It's a 28" barrel - I did do a bit of recearch before I bought it, as my previous rifle had a 30" barrel, and they do seem to be the popular choice - Tests done (can't remember the full details) showed that the diffence to velocities isn't that great, and only really a minor (for TR targets) consideration at 1000 - as most of my TR is at 300 and 600, I was more interested in a nice comfortable stock, and a good trigger.

Yes quite the perfectionist...from what I hear :P
I actually meant sowing the seed for me - by not just you, but the forum in general...I'd never really thought about putting a scope on a full bore rifle :-P ...but right now I'm out of both 'shooting budget' and cabinet space...a common predicament

I love the history of the FN FAL, if she wants to check my history, or my action, I'm up for it, if she likes it gawd help me ...

I spend half the day on a train sitting opposite my husband wondering what he's doing on his laptop and then find out he's been spending his time making suggestive remarks to other women sweary
I had a 28" barrel with my first Swing - shot like a dream at short range but heap of s*** at 1000. Changed to a 30" and it was never quite so comfortable but it did shoot well at long range.
If you're only shooting short range it should be fine but wheres the challenge? Get out to 1000 (or even further) and enjoy yourself!
....It'll serve you right for sowing the F/TR seed...which could end up growing to be expencive one day....
