    Oops.....Sorry......I've just looked in on the sales thread. I rarely look on Sales as I know there'd be stuff tempting me to buy, but funds and space don't allow at the moment.

    Well done on acquiring a '45, sir. You'll love it!

    Cheers, yes I know everybody should have one that's why I had to buy it despite promising not to buy another gun for a while. I've only just bought a Theoben, which while it was a bargain wasn't cheap.

    Also bought a mk1 HW 97 & then bought new seals & spring kit for it, plus an Original model 50 in .177 and spent a load on tuning a Hatsan 50 quarterbore.

    I'm supposed to be saving up for a car for the wife *facepalm*


    I want some new scopes too, and a set of Diopter sights Worse than class A drugs these airguns.

    Whoops!

    Does a Rekord Jumbo count

    Although, in my defence, I did have one back in the 1980s but I PXed it in for a AA Firepower.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I've still to fix my Jumbo, dusts prevented me opening it so far (getting there so soon surgery can start) and Old Man reckons he'll make the snapped bolt but I'll probably end up just buying one along with whatevers failed inside, wouldn't mind more Pistols like it as it reminds me of some of the Guns in Fallout (Game and soon to be TV series that I'm quite fond of, based on an alternate reality where the 50s atomic age ideals stuck but culminated in a nuclear war with the setting being the aftermath).

    Definately sounds it, the humour definately would go down well as would the decision to drink suspicious substanes with high potency (although without the radiation I hope).

    The Jumbo's nice, Pete, but I reckon you need another '45 at some point.

    The only problem I find is the money to gun ratio, and the cost of most 45s is the same as a nice rifle and I just don't feel you get enough gun for your money.
