Spring Bash 4th and 5th May 2024

[tinbum]

Two more sleeps, boing!

[TonyL]

I've got the latest Paul Short titanium kit in my 97 so that's coming, I've also bought a MK1 TX and an SR (both full leftys) which I will bring plus I bought a new HW80 so that's going to have an airing.

Would you mind if I had a little try of the Paul Short 97 and that new 80 please, Gary?

[TonyL]

I'm bringing my pre he Sirroco quarterbore, not had it long, & not fiddled with it yet, dreading having to pump it up.



On another note looks like the weather could be decent for the weekend, chucking it down now here.



.

I saw the Countryfile forecast yesterday evening. Temps certainly on the up. Overall improvement on the weather. And they weren't quite sure as of yesterday evening how things might play out with a couple of fronts, but one of the scenarios was looking very promising. Let's hope that's what we get, proving Neil can really work the magic, even when it comes to ordering up good weather.

[TonyL]

I think it will be
TX HC for killing the bucket
SP 280 for open sight fun
Meteor Mk1 for fun
Evolution .20 to be different
RAW 1000 may come along if the weather is really dodgy because there's no blueing to worry about in place of the Meteor or 280
MK1 TX200 for sale

I am having a couple of different scope mount solutions made for my Sirocco 2000 so this time round she stays at home

Still a lovely selection you'll be bringing along, Pete.

Early Wednesday morning. I’m sailing overnight from Cherbourg and hope to get up there early enough to visit one of the D Day museums.

Safe journey, Nick.

[TonyL]

I will be bringing my Hw80 no3 bore, the Longbow .22 , Pro/Elite .177, Hw97 .177 and my little Bell target rifle.
It’s been awhile chaps.
Looking forward to Bash time :cool.
Les..
Ps
And my bsa Hornet �� with Vortex scope for Pete to have a look through.��.

Nice one, Les. Yep, so much looking forward to seeing everyone again after what seems like an age. It's going to be epic.

[TonyL]

I'm finding it hard knowing what rifles to bring, it's going to be
a pile whatever I decide, my BSA quarter bore as standard, Karen's HW30 and now my sons LGV (yes he's acquired that off me) as he's coming as well, I'm also putting up a couple of rifles for sale, so more room taken up, I have a surprise rifle for Tone to have a go with and I wouldn't mind trying out the Excalibre now that's working but I will probably have to scrounge some air off of someone as my Chinese pump is crap, so will probably only bring a couple more, we have to squeeze in Matt and a tent and his stuff, so hopefully not put the van over weight, oh and the bloody dog.

Ooooohh...can't wait to see the surprise rifle, Pete.

Be great to meet Matt and to see Tazzie Dogdog again.

[TonyL]

I might bring a rifle

Steady, Pauly.

[TonyL]

Bit of rain this morning.
Might make the firing point a bit soggy.

There's always one.


It's about 3' deep at the moment.

Mmmmm....let's hope those conditions do improve as hoped. And if the sun does get his hat on from time to time, that's really going to help.

[TonyL]

I will bring my air bottle with me,it’s just had a fresh test and fill.
Les..

As ever, the perfect gentleman.

[TonyL]

You can pay me if you like

As ever, the perfect rascal.

[TonyL]

Just five sleeps to go for the Saturday peeps.

BOING!

[Waddy]

Only four sleeps to go & I still haven't put either of my pfffft guns back together

Just boingers for me then

[TonyL]

I'll be travelling very light......due to those eye issues I've had very little opportunity to do much. I usually bring my ratty old Supersport for if the weather isn't so nice. But the trigger's been out of it for a while. Now that I've just picked up both distance and reading glasses, I might be able to do it, but time's running out. If it's not back together it'll be the Brocock Indy that I got from Pete last year (it seems to be behaving) or my rusty old '35.....guessing Pete would prefer that I bring the Indy; we'll see.
My trusty 95 should come along and the Mark I 77 in '97 synthetic stock. All I've ever done with these for donkeys' years is check stock screws, check zero if I get the chance, and put them into bags. Must dig the wellies out!

[TonyL]

One little mention of boingery fun and look who's out!!!


BOING!
