    The first Bash I went to was the last one. I got there on Saturday evening, stayed the night and left Sunday evening.
    There was absolutely nothing on the 'sales table' all the time I was there.
    I ask about a scope because the trend apparently over the last few bashes is everything is sold behind the scenes.

    I'm not looking for anything specific, just a nice quality unit suitable for rimfire with no parallax shift.
    I am hoping there will be something on the table to actually look at rather than trying to do a deal over the net and simply collect at the bash.

    We are collecting a pistol there already

    I've been to just about every bash except the last one and the table is always full!

    I suspect they just didn't like you and hid everything every time you walked by.....

    Well there was nothing on the table at the last bash from 7pm Saturday onwards, ask anybody that was there.

    That one really is a nice addition Mike, enjoyed using that one whilst you were down.

    It certainly was well worth it. A really enjoyable rifle to shoot. Did you ever get rid of the Sandwell HW80 in the end?

    I was at a show tending to my stand earning my living during Saturday, that is why I was late. I left Monmouth at 4.30pm after the show, that is why I turned up with my business trailer and not just my car.

    I can't look out for anything as I don't know what I want, I need to see it first to know if it's what I want. I don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of scopes, will only know when I see it. This time I will be there at 12 mid day Friday and will be leaving Saturday evening. So hopefully I'll get to see the full table this time

    Saturday is the best day for the sales table.I might bring some scopes and guns to sell this time.
    I find it hard to let go of any thing gun related( Hoarder).

    Just make sure you bring that pistol Les

    Otherwise you'll permanently emotionally scar a small girl

    Alisha is wanting the scope for her 22LR bench rest rifle.

    You're quite right, Rob, but as others have said, Saturday is most active on the sales front as folks attending for just one day tend to attend on the Saturday.

    It's worth keeping an eye on the Boinger Bash sales thread in sales as well.




    All the best Mick
