    Trends...

    I was thinking earlier how trends change. I was lacing up my Lowa GTX boots which are about 7 plus years old and thinking when I bought them they were very popular. So was the MTC Viper which nearly everyone one had atleast one on a gun including me but they fizzled out, hardly ever hear of MTC now. What other trends have changed?

    Boot cut jeans - I really like boot cut jeans but everywhere seems to be flogging the kind of skinny Jean's that my daughter and missus wear as fellas jeans

    I like the old MTC scopes - for me, they were far better than the newer ones.

    All of the above.

    I put the viper connects on all my daytime pcps. Rarely use a pcp these days. My target springers have the 10 x 44 mtc scopes on them. The classics have something a little more contemporary.

    Vesta boil in a bag curry, as a young lad in the late 70s these were very popular. Can't beat a curry with sultanas in and dried meat...

    Hee's some things from the 70's that have now slipped into obscurity: Spangles, Wimpy Bars and HW35's.

    Good riddance I say!

    You mean when it was G & S and the scopes were made by Optisan

    The last MTC I tried I had to refocus the ocular every time the mag was changed
