    Am I loosing an ally? Dont go over to the dark side.

    Ive shot and, yes, owned a few Wobblys in my time. I cant remember which models as they are all look the same to me. The best part of ownership is selling them.

    Hello,

    I can only assume by "all look the same to me" you mean superb examples of iconic aesthetics and engineering and by "The best part of ownership is selling them" you must mean that you gain great pleasure from selflessly passing them on to somebody who appreciates such things.

    Regards

    Brian

    But unfortunately not true.
    Plumbers nightmares with bendy barrels, fragile linkeages and double vision inducing recoil. Accuracy of a Gat. I must admit to a tinge of conscience when I dumped, I mean sold, them on.

    I offerred Ian my Tempest to shoot with at the club tonight and he physically recoiled away from it as if he was afraid that it would cause him some serious harm

    He did shoot my tinplate Diana Model 2 and spent some time with my Hammerli Single - but despite several attempts to persuade him he would not even touch the Tempest !

    Good luck tomorrow night - but I think you will be lucky to get Ian to give the Wobbly a fair chance - I think he has already talked himself out of it !
