    Yeah, I was well pleased Mike, very much smaller than the grey.

    I see from another thread you have a HW98 in .177 on the way. I don’t think I’ve ever shot one ?

    Happy belated Birthday too matey.

    You could do with having larger hands with more contact area, Nick.

    Lovely, Pauly.

    I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild either, matey.


    A treasured memory from your special visit.

    Cheers mate, I have indeed just ordered the 98. I've been torn between that and an HW80 for weeks now!!

    With you going for the '98 so early in the year, Mike, you'll have plenty of time in the remainder of the year to get an '80 bought, too!

    I fear that that will be the case, Pauly.

    You'd think he'd use water colours so as not to freak those poor farmers out, though!

    We found one dead on the side of the road year's back down near cap feret, it was completely unmarked, the temptation to bring it back and have it preserved was massive, but the reality of how many laws I would be breaking made me see sense.

    Its possible although funds are a bit tighter on the gun side of things now. The guns I've bought recently have been largely funded by stuff I've sold that I don't use due to the bad back ie; Kayak and weights/multi gym. Also raised a few hundred quid from a couple of boot fairs back in the summer which was handy. Its amazing the extra space being rid of the kayak and weights that have just sat here for the last couple of years too which is handy.

    It's a shame that you will now have such a long wait until your birthday and Christmas, Mike.

    However, all's not lost........maybe you have one or two other things to sell, plus save a little (if possible), plus.....plus......well, Easter's the new Christmas isn't it? I think Easter would be a lovely time for you family to treat you again and it's just a week before The Bash.....BOING....BOING.....BOING!!!!!

    Only joking young sir, and don't let your eventual quest for the '80 detract from your delight with the very special '98.


    Gotta go......doggy's third little walkie of the evening being most vocally demanded!

    That's a very good point about easter. If you could kindly work your magic and phone the Mrs and convince her that an 80's a necessity that would be great. Its worked so far

    Thats the one pal, not keen on the flash bang wallop one posted earlier, that on the back in that font with a smaller Quigley Hollow written on the left hand side on the front in the same font would look awesome, black hoody/T shirt /Fleece/ sweatshirt.

    That's only my opinion though, think plain and simples the better.

    Sorry Neil180
