    I specifically swapped it to metric, thinking it was better for you. Yes, it's definitely 8" and 15". (The rails are 380mm, though.)

    ha ha ... I thought that's what you had done.

    I don't get why the Europeans are trying to force metric on us... I still use Imperial / English.

    I mean, in the UK we all still measure our height in feet and inches
    our weight in Stones and pounds

    We drive in MPH although we now have to buy liters of petrol
    We work out fuel usage in MPG

    We go to the pub for a Pint !
    We eat 1/4 pound burgers !

    etc. etc. ... rant rant ... LOL I could go on forever
