Charlie Jacoby is at the imposing Gordon Castle beside the River Spey for the launch of Browning’s new X-Bolt 2 rifle. Sergio Couto has laid on a feast of Scottish sport, with salmon fishing, roe and red stalking. Charlie has a long day on the hill trying to get within range of a hind, before he finally gets his chance.
