    Hey All

    Hi All!

    I've just got back in to shooting after a fair few years. I used to compete at Bisley with Cadets and had a HW80 to practice with when not at the range.

    Now I've moved out of town back to the deepest darkest Somerset countryside, I've picked up another '80 to get back in to the groove.

    It's a second hand K bought from a local RFD which has had a new barrel/mod, with a stock that needs a bit of love, and a lovely loud TWANG!

    Planning on handing it over to the 'smith for a new spring and seals ASAP, and I'll give the stock a rub down at some point. Have to say - loving it again!

    Apologies in advance for any stupid questions - don't worry, I know how to use the search!

    No doubt speak soon

    Welcome to the bbs, and enjoy shooting the '80 once it has been tweaked.
