zini 1,939 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi lads, Here is my new rifle that I got today. I went to a new gun shop to buy some FX pellets as my normal shop was out of stock. When I got to the shop I decided to have a look at what springer rifles they had in for sale. This .22 calibre Air Arms Pro Sport jumped out at me, already fitted with double clamp Pro Mounts, a fantastic Hawke Nite Eye SR12 6-24x50 Illume and leather sling and swivels plus the rifle came with a Buffalo River padded gun bag. After chatting to the shop owner he informed me that a bloke had come into the shop yesterday wanting to sell the rifle as it had been a present which he didn’t want. He informed the shop owner that the rifle was only 2 months old and had only shot about half a tin of pellets before sitting in the house doing nothing. Due to the fact that the rifle was a gift, the man only wanted a couple of hundred quid for it. The shop owner new he could make a quick sale while making some money himself by selling the lot for £400. I thought that this was a good price and hurried home to check out what the combo was worth in total. This is my findings: Air Arms Pro Sport from Blackpool Air Rifles = £395 Set of Pro mounts from Blackpool Air Rifles = £18.95 Hawke Nite Eye SR12 6-24x50 AO Illume from Blackpool Air Rifles = £149.95 Buffalo River gun bag from Blackpool Air Rifles = £29.95 Leather plaited sling from Blackpool Air Rifles = £18.95 Pro Sport rifle swivels from Blackpool Air Rifles = £12.50 Total price = £625.30p After seeing what a deal the shop owner was offering I rushed back to the shop and snapped the rifle up for £400, making a saving of £225.30p. The shop owner even through in a tin of pellet for £8.95. So I’m now the happy owner of a Pro Sport as well as a R10 and HW100KT. Si Quote Link to post
