Now that would be telling and as I have not decided yet, I will keep that to myself. ? Phil

The bell target shooting that you came along to near Market Rasen is not far for you and now they have built up a league for team shoots and if it was closer, I would be involved but winter evenings on slippery roads is not for me. If the league gets going at my end, a quick drive down to Cleethorpes is a breeze. I might pop over and try the gun out today or tomorrow, just another wedge to hit the friggin pension. You know, being retired is great BUT the lack of a nice salary does hit you even though I have a private pension but cost of living etc etc etc ? Phil
-
No, but I am just considering it at the moment because there is only so much I can do and the bell target group is starting in the Grimsby / Cleethorpes area so still early days on my patch. I would love it but not sure as yet.

Shame we missed you matey.

I popped into my RFD today to pick up some pellets and sat on the display wall was a gun that took my eye, an Air Arms MPR 10 sporter target rifle. https://www.air-arms.co.uk/mpr-series.html This one was far from being standard, with a high tech fully adjustable aluminium shoulder unit, not sure what they are called but not a pad and is the same unit that is fitted to the FTP900 rifle. The standard diopter sights had been replaced with a fantastic set, a hamster was fitted to the underside of the forend and a super dooper match trigger unit from Rowan engineering. The temptation

TWAT....................................................possibly true but still a twat. ? Phil

It's a pity that we live too far apart Jimmy otherwise I would put in another cabinet so you could keep your guns in there mate. Phil
-
Oh yes I forgot to say that I did have another look at the HW57 springer and again say this one feels nice in the shoulder although the stocks are a bit crappy but that could be sorted by someone I know further north and the bits inside could be tweeked and tunes by someone else I know so sooner or later, I have to get one........................? One air rifle that I picked up some info on although Ididn't actually see on on the stand was the Anschutz 9015 but it seems it is only available at present in .177 and no fac models either but nevertheless an interesting gun that will ne

Great day yesterday at the show, busy but some good purchases made. Trish and I briefly met up with Jimmy and his son Jamie ( another nice guy), Si and his son and daughter, who I believe were desperate to shoot on the .22lr range, along with one of my lure fishing pals but never saw Rez and he didn't phone to meet up so if you don't want to mix with me Jamie, I understand, after all not many people do ?...............?? yer miserable tart. Anyway it was so busy we lost touch with eachother then later in the day both my and Jimmy's phone battery died so we didn't see eachother again BUT at l

We do need to be positive about this and I do believe it will work out but Gove is a grade A tosser, a man who doesn't deserve our trust IMO Phil
-
Yes done both Defra and BASC. I wish I had my camera /zoom lens a few days ago as there is a scarecrow in a field on the edge of our village with around 17 crows sat all around it and within 10-20 feet. I could not have framed it any better and have been back a few times but the crows have not been there whilst I have. Shame Phil
-
My friend went over and bought the gun and is very happy with it. Thanks for the comments guys. Phil
-
It would need chopping in length and on the side as the 110 and 110k has differences in shaped cut outs to say nothing of a Weihrauch price tag but nevertheless a nice thought. Phil
-
Yes, slightly smaller than this one but that would be better as Jim was saying he needed to keep the length down to keep clear of the pellet loading so the extra 20mm could make all the difference. Phil
-
No Sean it is s/h but I confess that I had no idea what price the AO scopes are, much cheaper than the side focus models. I am guessing it is not suitable in that case. Phil
-
could be Sean
-
Thank you guys, I will pass the info back to my pal. Phil
-
I sent you a phone text and photo Jimmy of an Airmax 4-12x40mm AO with sunshade, just under 13" in length and my rfd wants £100. Don't know if that is any good to you matey but if it is, let me know and I can pick it up for the show. Phil
-
Right guys, my mate has seen a Theoben Evolution .22 gas ram springer and is smitten................. The point of this thread is to ask if they are any good or prone to problems. My friend is going to look at it tomorrow so if I could give him your feedback before he goes, so much the better. Phil
-
Nice one BN. Every time I see your gun, I love that stock more and more, what a pity I couldn't get one on my 110k rifle. Phil
-
I will let you know tomorrow mate. I am on with making arrangements to get your blue baby back to you on Saturday, I will keep you posted on that as well Jimmy. Phil
-
Right Jimmy and Si, last year you guys went early so are you doing the same again or at a reasonable time say mid morning. Is Sean going Jimmy. Rez a pm is on it's way mate. Phil
-
What is his name or trading name and we will have a look.
-
Right guys, Trish and myself are there on Saturday so who is definitely going and when. Phil
-
I must admit that I have just one Mamba Lite left which is on my 110k and it suits it well BUT the main problem with them is they are subject to 'white out' and poor in fading light compared to others. I will pop in my rfd this week Jimmy as he has loads of s/h scopes and if anything looks ok, I will pm you. I do know he had two MTC Viper Connect scopes in his collection. Phil
