martin 332 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well I've bit the bullet,so to speak,and,bought myself a new rifle.It's actually a second hand remington 700 ADL in .243cal with a 22" barrel with a T8 moderator and Harris bipod.I've also got a 2.5-10 x 56 Schmit & Bender scope with a 30mm tube coming Tuesday with Leupold mounts and rings.I will be getting an H&S Kevlar stock and a floor plate conversion a bit later as well.I would very much like to say how happy I was with the service that I received from Tony at 'Witshire Rod & Gun' in Swindon.He is a top bloke,and very accomodating,and,also up for a deal!!!Oh,and he makes a nice cup of hot chocolate as well.I would definitely recommend his shop to anyone.

Deker 3,491 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The shop is good and so is Tony (the Remington is OK as well). Tony is a top shooter as well, and I mean top, but with shotguns. I suspect this helps him understand shooters, I have to travel 50 miles to see him but my local dealer is compete **** so its worth it. Cheers Deker Quote Link to post

Cheers Deker Yes,I had to travel almost that far as well,but,it just goes to show doesn't it,that if a shop tries hard it will draw punters from all over.And,that is why I put it up on here,so,people will see how good Tony is and try the shop out for themselves......................martin.
