It was originally in a glass case, I don't know what the current owner has to protect it, maybe it's just out in his shed!

I invested years ago in a set of these;

As well as various parallel ground inserts of any size I could find to fit a standard 1/4" drive handle, the cost soon repays itself in lack of damage, and a good fit means you can tackle stiff fasteners with confidence.

Someone on this forum gave me some excellent advice which I followed. I scoured junk shops for old screwdrivers which I seem to be able to find with lovely wooden handles, dirt cheap as basically just old tools.... And I reground them. Gives you a lovely parallel ground blade. So far have all I need to fit my guns, though would probably consider the investment in a professional set it I was working on a high volume of other people's guns

Great to see the old BSAs in use use Bob. What sort of targets and distances were used?

I believe they were 25m to 40mm kill zone knock over style targets, anywhere from 8 to 35 yards. 15 targets, each one shot prone, kneeling and standing so a maximum of 90 points.
It's a real joy to shoo without adjustable cheek piece, hamsters and scopes etc. Mine is a 1930(ish) .177 with flip up peep sights but I get on better with the standard notch and post sights.

Thanks Bob - that sounds like an interesting shoot. Do you find your point of impact varies much when shooting from different positions?

Peep sights are great in good light but in a dark wood, opens are easier to use as you say. I find a dab of red on the foresight bead helps to pick up the sight in a dark wood too.
