I haven't got anything to sell anyway
Maybe able to scrape £3 together to buy something though

Should get you a beesa possibly two 👍

You wouldn't say that if Pete look no hands was going

[Segata]

Maybe its all being sent to me as a Birthday pressie and to cheer me up at not being able to go, and if a BSAs going for 3 quid I want it.

Funnily enough I was thinking about the Predator last night and wondering if we would ever see that limited edition run

I think it would be a long way off but might happen one day, Pete.

[TonyL]

23 to go for the Saturdsy peeps.

BOING!

[TonyL]

Just placed the order for a scope with aiming points for the Longbow
Really enjoyed using the Burris though
I think it will go on the SP280 if I take the opens off

What scope are you going for for the Longbow, Pete?

The Burris might well suit the 280 well, but I also feel they balance so nicely on opens that it would be a shame to "spoil" that balance and simplicity. And it's great to have a rifle (or ten!!!) on opens.

Both my .22 45's like hobbys. Very consistant with them!

Yep, both my .177 and .22 45s love the Hobby.

One of the few pellets I don't have a tin of lol. I'll get some in my next pellet order

Perfect excuse for a little shopping.

[TonyL]

That spring is definitely coming out, no worries there, it's making less power than the standard spring, or what was in it when I got it, might not be standard I suppose.

I think I can make a raiser for the front sight, it clamps onto a pair of grooves. There's a bit of ally in the garage that might do, looks like a job that can be done with a hacksaw and file.

Two small 4 mm thick pieces that are the length of the rails, and 10mm high, with two grooves filed out on the outsides at the top, two rebates on the insides at the bottom leaving a V to clamp the rails, drilled & threaded to take one or maybe two small bolts to tighten it onto the barrel rails should do it. Not ditching the diopter at this point, it's cost me more than the ruddy rifle !

.

Be great to hear how it performs after its mild surgery and best of luck with the riser project.

[TonyL]

Just realised that there is no sales thread

I had been wondering about that too, whilst also fearing for my emaciated wallet.

I try and avoid looking for the same reason.

[TonyL]

You wouldn't say that if Pete look no hands was going

Young Peter had better be coming.

[flyingfish]

I thought he gave some feeble excuse about a family holiday?

[TonyL]

Mmmmmmm.....can't fully remember now, Pete, although that sorta rings a bell.......

[flyingfish]

What scope are you going for for the Longbow, Pete?
A VX Freedom Rimfire 3 x 9 x 40 Tony
Nice, simple but above all light

[TonyL]

Ooo-er; that should be lovely, Pete.
