My Darling Helen Buys Me A Webley Fx2000 For My 60Th B/day.


Recommended Posts

I am a lucky sod that I have an ace girl who appreciates and understands my shooting hobby. :thumbs:

 

We popped into the local gunshop in Woodhall Spa for a tin of ammo and there on the wall are two 2nd hand Webley FX2000s from way back. One was the full-size/length rifle in beautiful, mint condition in .22 calibre, the second is the .22 carbine version.

 

I just happened to say what a cracking gun these were back in their day and they are getting a bit scarce now-a-days. :whistling: And I wouldn't mind having that .22 long rifle version. Complete combo with a Tasco mildot scope and a decent looking silencer. £350 quid.

 

DONE! She bought it for me! :thumbs:

 

My Birthday's next tuesday. And I thought I was getting a good early Birthday pressie with my Pro Sport. :D

 

All I know of these is that they were designed and built by Frederik Axxelsonn for Webley and won Airgun Of the Year 2000. People who've owned one or, still do, seem pleased and happy with theirs so, here's hoping she's as good as she looks. Certainly cocks and shoots very smooth with no apparent ills or vices. Looks like the previous owner really looked after her.

 

I'm not expecting she'll be better than anything I currently own. But after Jimmy has regretted selling his Raider from the same era of Webley airguns, I'm pretty confident she's going to be a cracker.

 

Here's to long pellet trials and longer summer nights again.

WELL I CAN SAVE YOU A JOURNEY FOR THAT THEN JIMMY........WE ARE PLANNING ON MARRYING NEXT YEAR.

 

yep, that's what she wants and I'm ready for a quiet life with my guns. I told her, no ultimatums over the guns and she just shrugs "Okay whatever!"

 

Look, any woman who loves you, warts and all, buys you a fine rifle and looks after you and keeps a really good dinner warm when you come home from the fields and a good evening's shooting...That's THE ONE you hang on to and keep at all costs.

 

 

Otherwise.... it's back to :censored: bitches :icon_eek: and a lifetime of shit and.. :yes::nono::rtfm:

 

No thank you sir!

 

Love you to bits too old buddy.

Having a vino mr? :)

 

It's what you'll be saying to the good lady... she's bought your a new rifle...

 

I'll nip over, no problems... I won't give you a hand though mate, I ain't like Phil... Id rather shoot your rifle. Shit, that sounds even worse. F'sake.

 

On a serious note, we must arrange something, I'll bring Jess. We can hit the targets, and the ladies can chat. Though, I must say, Jess would have a go. Competitive sod she is. Then nip the blue bell for a tipple :D

 

Jeez.

Congratulations on your up coming birthday, the wedding and the gun. Isn't it lovely to have ladies in our lives like these, we popped into the RFD last week to have a look at a .22 Anschutz rimfire which is a minter and Trish, my wife, said just get it or I will ................................... no brainer, just waiting for the variation ticket to come back and another in in the cabinet.

 

I am well pleased for you Simon ................................ the carbine sounds good :hmm:
