Few amusing stories I encountered whilst working at an RFD briefly about 15 years ago.

Customer was interested in purchasing a pcp but was concerned about the costs of recharging. Crunching the numbers with the customer it turned out he thought that once the divers bottle was empty he had to buy a new one no wonder he thought it was going to be rather expensive


We’ve all heard the usual Billy bull stories about ranges and crazy power had a few of them but I remember one chap claiming some outrageous things about his long range antics so as he was looking at scopes I asked him what he thought the rough range was to a certain landmark out the shop window yep he was totally full of it.. a 30m landmark is not 100m away

Talking of scopes one chap was struggling with a scope he had recently bought so running through the obvious I asked him to bring his rifle in so I could just double check everything for him yep you guessed it the scope was mounted with the elevation turret to the left and windage on the top

One chap wanted a sling stud fitting which was no problem told him to bring the rifle down when I discovered he had already tried as there was three holes in the cheek piece FFS
