    Have Fun

    Cheers Robin and can you smuggle me in?

    The Anv pistol I bought came s/h (?) from one of the club members who WON IT at the recent Northern Shooting Show. He shoots left handed so we came to some agreement ( I would stop whimpering and holding onto his leg ) if I could buy it. Wonga was exchanged. He converted his win into cash to go towards his next rifle and I received a limited edition baby.

    I do. I entered Rochdale Airgun Clubs 50m bench resting competition last month and will try again this Tues (22nd)

    I used to do HFT very to a very mediocre standard (I couldn't be bothered with all that getting up and down, the bad weather etc. ) and now 'Arthur' in several upper joints wont allow me to shoot a heavy 10m rifle.

    I shoot what I can and what I enjoy but isn't that what its all about?

    [QUOTE=I. J.;7319822]Cheers Robin and can you smuggle me in?

    We'll take photo's, I'm having a new full bore rifle built (Keppeler) and I use Walther KK300 pistol grips, so I want them to make me one in Burr Walnut, just hope it doesn't cost more than the rifle!
    Walther KK500 Alutec expert special - Barnard .223 "wilde" in a Walther KK500 Alutec stock, mmm...tasty!! - Keppeler 6 mmBR with Walther grip and wood! I may be a Walther-phile?

    Oh you poor thing!

    On a positive note - it's (arguably) a better group (horizontally) than your last 50.

    Quite right, along side clowns, bearded ladies, dwarfs, the freak show and other assorted residents of Dundee
