charlie caller 3,654 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Splendid old chap, let me know when you want a trip over to Calton moor, and we can set her up 1 Quote Link to post
J_Edwards 70 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Weather's a bit better today. Slight wind, but not bad at all What guns did you get, and where from may I ask? Quote Link to post
Tornado1979 145 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Weather's a bit better today. Slight wind, but not bad at all What guns did you get, and where from may I ask? I decided after months to go for the tikka super varmint .223, and Anchutz 1417 .22. I got the Anchutz of a friend, and the Tikka from shooters world in mexborough, it's closest to me and he beat most of others shops in price about £90 cheaper. Some said super is too heavy but I'm a big lad and feels perfect, but if I was 5,1" and feather weight I'd of gone for light version. 1 Quote Link to post
Tornado1979 145 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Look forward to it mate, sorry you can't make it tomorrow, I'm off work and I'm passing so thought it would be rude not to throw rifles in boot and set them up, guy in shop bore sighted the .223 so hopefully it won't cost me a fortune to zero in Edited February 6, 2014 by Tornado1979 Quote Link to post
blackstaff 488 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Congratulations Got there in the end. I'm on the other end of the spectrum, got tickets super fast but had to spend fortunes on vets bills since I received them so only got my shotty in the cabinet and pheasant is over !

Tornado1979 145 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thanks mate, Saying that i'm skint now, bad enough getting money together for rifles, then start adding mounts, scopes, ammo the bank balance is scary, can't even afford any more ammo for .223 till pay day Just a good job i'm stocked up on the .22 ammo Shotgun's next on my shopping list though mate, it was a toss up which to get first but went for .223.

J_Edwards 70 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I know Mexborough, never been to Shooter's World though. I've been reccommended Swillington Shooting Supplies. York Guns is sort of up my end as well. If I get a .17HMR, it will probably be a CZ Varmint Thumbhole, those are nice. A .223 will be a bit more expensive, I fancy a Steyr Scout Quote Link to post
