    First new gun of the year

    Well new to me anyway .
    19 days into the new year and I've just purchased a stunning rifle from B.A.R.
    It appears to be a MK1 HW85 with a HW95 barrel and slim silencer .
    The deep lovely bluing has been done by Paul Chell , the trigger fettled by Luke Jolly , and the a Tinbum tune to finish it off .
    I cant wait to get to the range tomorrow and get it zeroed in .
    If this used to be your rifle , thankyou .
    If your the buyer that was unlucky enough to find out it was reserved , sorry .

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I know what you're saying, Pete, but I know folks who've replaced Venom guides and there are varying degrees of Venomness.




    All the best Mick

    There's a difference between Venom kitted, Venom tuned and a Venom Custom which in my eyes would mean a custom stock and a fancy silencer (and may be a reblue) and some sort of magic tuning dust sprinkled inside

    Correct, Pete, the Venom 85 in the collectors section just had a Venom sticker on it.
