    Nice to see you John and congrats on your purchases.
    Someone said they saw one of the Target versions of the Giffard rifle there which I missed, anyone see that?

    Some great stuff on sale, thanks to Liz & Peter.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Awesome day, great to meet up with so many from our community, and very grateful to the Binfields clan for organising such a slick event
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I didn't see that Giffard but would have liked to.

    There was so much there I didn't photograph!

    Matt,

    I saw that Giffard rifle, I’m almost certain it was not a genuine target version because it looked like the only part on it remotely similar to the target version was the fancy butt plate, and the stock looked to be made aftermarket to fit the butt plate, the rest of the gun looked standard. If you see a genuine one they are very ornate and so different to a standard one, the rear sight for instance is a long ramp type, 3 or 4 inches long.

    Lawrie.

    Ah, thanks Lawrie. Thought it sounded too good to be true!
    I did ask my mate if it had the fancy trigger guard but they weren’t sure.

    Nice to see you there today, hope you had a good day.

    Atb,
    Matt
