I agree, sometimes finding rarer requires tenacity and putting yourself out there.
Sometimes it's being in the right place at the right time...something that can be particularly true of the sales section on here...I missed out on a Rutten Winstar HS550 by about 30 minutes on this very forum sadly.
I had an AR7 for years. My dad bought it for me when I was about 14 because he'd heard wonderous stories about the Single Point sight. Its serial number was 03043, anyone on here got it?
After my initial burst of enthusiasm, it languished unused for ages (20+ years) before I finally sold it a couple of years ago.
I found that it would only group with Eley Wasp pellets. Even with RWS and H&N, the accuracy was shocking, but the Eleys would form nice tight clusters.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
Wow John, I've never been to Kempton but what a selection. Going off topic slightly but that toy Luger - such a memory, I'm sure I had one of those. Never forgotten all the cap guns as a kid in those carefree days when we were free to have fun... If you ever see a Baikal IZH-61 there please let me know.

I was very tempted by that toy Luger, as I had several in my early years. It was not priced and had I asked, I would have probably bought it, if the price was cheap enough.
I don't recall seeing a IZH-61 but have never looked out for one. On second thoughts, Mike Sharp may have had something similar in the past in the rack but I may be wrong.
Maybe try and make the next event on 7th April? I know it's a way from Rye but you may be lucky
John

Cheers John, yes I must go sometime. I used to be in the militaria business and an avid collector so spent 25 odd years attending (militaria) fairs but never been to an airgun specific one.
