Jonjon79 13,358 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I don't know what's worse - a shit rfd or, a shit hot rfd ....... at least I can tell the shit one's where to go The best one by an absolute country mile down this way is Wiltshire Shooting Centre in Devizes. Paul, Alistair and the rest of the guys have been bang on since the first time I walked through the door. I drive past 3 very close gun shops to get there. We've got to know each other and, it's a nice place to be. The only problem is, that bugger Paul seems to know exactly what I'm thinking - honestly, I shudder to think how many times I've been in there over the last couple of years Anyway, I digress - after reading about using older springers on here and, having so much fun with my S10, I decided to pop in for a look at a Daystate LR90 that I keep looking at. I took it out the back for a go on the range. It was nice - small, light, mechanical, accurate and, dare I say, a little agricultural. However, when I came back into the shop there was some other rifles layed out on the counter Among them was a Daystate X2 fitted with a Wellham regulator and a Daystate Merlyn - Oh ffs It turned out that a collector had decided to flog his collection. These things were immaculate. I really wanted the X2 but, so did Paul (the manager) - f**k it! The sneaky git let me mount an Airmax 30sf to the Merlyn to try it out. The result - I now own an immaculate .177 Daystate Merlyn with the Airmax scope I'm loving these older rifles - more mechanical, not as polished and slick, very accurate I can't wait to get it down to Black Cat and really test it out 9 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,568 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Here`s an every day RFD trick for you. Billy asks the RFD, I want such a new gun in such a stock in such a calibre, RFD replies, "Very popular choice indeed sir" so popular in fact we have just the one left. - " The one on the shelf" - they are in such demand you know. The RFD will have others boxed, untouched in the backroom. He wants the "handled showroom gun" sold, with the minute finger ring scratches, to the first numpty. Just say,- sorry I want an unopened, boxed, brand new example,- I`ll go elsewhere. Watch the unopened boxes suddenly appear ! 2 Quote Link to post
