Very nice video. Just wish in American they would have vintage shoots.

Very nice video. Just wish in American they would have vintage shoots.

Thanks,

the Vintage shoot is fast becoming the comp we look forward to the most.
It’s great fun, and with standing shots with open sights up to 35yds you really have to use the force!

A couple of rifles and a few knock down targets and you could set up a nice little informal vintage shoot over there, I’m sure there would be some interest.

Cheers,
Matt.

Nice wee video...many thanks for posting...I've got a similar one made in September 1935, which I only found out today courtesy of your video as I didn't realise the month and date were stamped beneath the breech.

They really are superb rifles as were the later full stock ones including the early Milbro ones which also have a superb build quality.

Cheers Graeme

I picked up a prewar 27 with factory aperture sight at Melbourne and it has become my favourite rifle. Very accurate. A remarkable thing.

THANKS MATT FOR POSTING THE VIDEO, ALISON ALSO LOVES HER NEW TO HER DIANA 27e, (POSSIBLY BELONGED TO MELVIN "CAPTAIN BIRDEYE!" FROM BISLEY, SHOT QUITE WELL ON THE FIRST TIME OUT, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT VINTAGE COMP.

I KEEP "THROWING DOWN THE GAUNTLET" TO OTHER CLUBS WHO SHOOT VINTAGE BUT SO FAR NO TAKERS!.

ITS A GREAT COMP AND IS BUILDING UP NICELY.

WORTH KEEPING AN EYE ON BISLEY AS THEY HOLD VINTAGE COMPS AS WELL, ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY HAVE THEIR VINTAGE MEETINGS ON A WEDNESDAY BUT, SOMETIMES THEY HAVE A SUNDAY VINTAGE SHOOT, IN THE PAST THESE BEING "IN MEMORY OF THE SOMME" AND A "DUMP SHOOT" BOTH OF WHICH ME AND ALISON ATTENDED.

COME ON YOU GUYS WHO HAVE VINTAGE (PRE 1939) RIFLES THAT NEED AN OUTING AND GIVE IT A GO!. LEA VALLEY AIRGUN CLUB ON THE SECOND SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH.

DAVEM.
