For many years motor bikes where my passion, then came along diving, both summer sports, so one had to go and the diving won. Then as time goes by my garage started to get filled with brass items, portholes, whistles, bells, shell cases, etc, etc, you name it I've got collected one. Then Ritchie Stephenson introduced me into collecting glass and china, then the garage was not only full of brass but also glass and china.

 

To cut a long story short and after spending many hours in a decompression chamber my wife gave me the hard word, no more diving except abroad. So the motor bikes came back and we take all our holidays in the winter months, somewhere nice and warm.

 

Yep, I'm the classic collector-maniac, hey look a new dive watch, hey look the new CBR1100 is available............... the list never ends.

 

The wife is now getting concerned, she thinks I'll start with an air rifle but end up with an FAC and M16!!!

Welcome to the site steve.. Seeing your from Bradford, Kirklees Guns I can recomend in Huddersfield. They've been on the go for years and wont rob you..

 

 

Many thanks for the info, I'm passing Huddersfield on Friday, I'll stop off and take a look, it might even stop me travelling all the way to Blackpool.

 

I'm actually north east Leeds area, Wetherby, lots of open fields, woods and large gardens, rabbits, wood pigeons and pheasants are common sights and out number humans by 10 to 1.

 

As I type this I can see a fox walking past a dead pigeon which something has killed, even the foxes around here are fat and lazy!!! When my son shows me how to upload photo's I'll post some on this site so you can see what's what.

 

Thanks again for the info.

You could be my twin brother. I started of with diving and bikes then the diving took over and I made a living with that and financed my bikes by diving. Had a dive centre on Tenerife for 8 years and now the bikes are sold and am back in the UK for a while but still have the dive kit. My house back on El Hierro looked a bit like a wreck with all the stuff one collects and I have more photos from under water then topside. I think there are more photos of blennies and damsel fish then there are of me. Not a bad thing.

But you still have the yellow butty box right??

If your at Wetherby then mate, you could try wighill park guns instead. They have an indoor range where you can try the guns too, and the guy is a former British Champion..http://www.wighillparkguns.co.uk/

Forgot to mention, Wighill is just outside Tadcaster going to Thorpe Arch ..

Yellow butty box, no I refer to it as my killing machine, it's a classic inspiration, one of the best they made, a few up grades but nothing too serious. I bought it in 98 and it is fantastic, well all most, it did give 100% 02 at 110 msw once, I can honestly say the inside of my dry bag was same colour as my buddy and he's called Leroy. However all my mistakes have been down to human error, ie my error, rather than the inspiration. If you get the chance to dive one jump at it, they are some thing else but they do bite back!!!

Get your self a HW100T THE BEST AIRGUN IN THE WORLD, THL competition winner, or if you dont want the best, get a rapid or s400

[Guest Scuba1]

Have dived them and the draeger and whenever I switch to CCR it takes me a dive or two to get used to them and not to bump into things. I never understood the reason why they came up with the Evolution when the Inspo was way better and at that little difference in weight it was a step back IMHO.

If i was you with that budget, I would spend 300-400 quid on a gun and then go on holiday for a week.

Springer wise, weilrach (spell) do some nice guns, But i would go for PCP for ease of use, lot quieter that a springer could knock one or two off instead of cocking the gun then opening window and shooting.
