    needful things

    Some guns seem as rare as hens teeth and rarely turn up for sale.

    What one gun have you been searching for in vain.

    For me it would be a brum built longbow .177 in walnut

    BSA mint Challenger. And Dean C's AA ProSport which one day he will give up to me??????!!!

    If they exist which I don't think they do then a Walnut FWB Sport and Omega factory stock.

    Sharp Pan Target. I'm considering putting one of my Sharp Victory's as bait!

    What would you expect to pay for such an item, boxed as new ?

    Edit: Just done a 'Search', and found an unboxed one sold on here for £330 earlier this year.

    Needful things

    I don't believe my wants are as rae as hens teeth, but they are defo eluding me and have done for years, although I did manage to aquire a Hammerli militay plastic stocked 420 a few months ago, so thats one down. my others are Jackal Woodsman (7' barrel, no sights, always sold with the singlepoint) been offered the AA verison but has that ugly foresight on. The Jackal Combat, again mock flash hider for barrel, Milbro Black Major or Americam verion Barnett Hellfire, and lastly an Optima Supermoonlighter Scope. Not to much to ask. So if anyone has any of these for sale, let me know cheers Roll

    Interesting about the gifford rifles, found 3 sold in last 9 years.

    Christies in 2003 fetched £1800.

    Another forum in 2009 for £1495.

    Bonhams in 2010 fetched £1020.

    I wonder which reflects the true value or whether the prices are just a sign of the times.
