    Ex HFT Shooter returning

    Hi Everybody,

    After a lengthy break from Air Guns i am thinking of getting back into the hobby, used to love going to Iden Ferns for a comp of HFT.

    Is Iden still there?

    Anybody got any good suggestions on buying a second hand rifle, used to have a HT100 and would like simlular.

    Cheers

    They certainly are. Assuming they have kept the info up to date you should be able to find them and contact details via this link. Just zoom in to the area north of Rye and click on the blue flag.

    Regarding a rifle first advice would be don't buy anything till you have been to a club and had a go and seen what folk use. If really keen to buy an S400 in .177 is a very safe bet with a scope of no more than 10 X magnification and objective lens of no more than 44mm. Reticule with mildots.

    Thank you for taking time to advise, s400 always was a good gun.

    Apologies, but while there is information (location and a phone number) about the club on that link, it looks like the club web site has changed. I could not find an alternate - google search failed to turn one up.
