    Ever bought something that you've never used???

    Yes, the mother-in-law a grave plot.

    Due to 'Arthur' in my upper joints I rarely shoot my collection of springers. I have a couple of rifles (HW35 Limited Editions) that heve never been shot from new and there is a few s/h rifles that Ive only shot to test.

    I know what you mean about that Matt.
    I spent years assembling a complete line-up of Webley Hawks. Mk1, all 4 variants of the MkII, and a Hawk MkIII in each calibre.
    I didn't shoot any of them much (apart from one of the MkIIs which was a present for my 11th birthday, that one's had thousands of pellets through it), and once I had them all together, the thrill went and I ended up selling most of them. The only two I kept were my original MkII and the .177 MkIII, which was the first rifle I bought with my own money.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    HW77 in .20 and an LGR.
    The LGR needed a complete reseal but I enjoyed doing it. The 77 was/is superb. I have only shot them for testing purposes so have not shot either in competition or as a plinking session; I just like owning them.
    Cheers, Phil
