Picked up a new toy on my travels

Post by dhtaxi » Wed Jul 20, 2005 3:42 pm

I went into a gun shop to buy a sling swivel in north yorkshire England a beautiful part of the country.

Whilst I was in there this hussy smiled at me before I knew what had happened Id gathered her in my arms and carried her out of the shop and into the sunshine. Honest.

The pics

Forgot to mention its a .22

She looks nice Dave, in .22" is she.

No rear sight so you'll be mounting a scope?

Are you going to take her on Saturday so we can have a peek and a fondle. :razz:

Yep .22 Adam she will be there Saturday. Id like to find a back sight if I could but I dont think its likely. I will probably end up scoping her.

Daves pictures dont do the rifle justice, i saw it today at the range and its a little beauty, all it needs is a back sight, which are apparently like hens teeth to get hold of, I hope you find one Dave it would be a shame to have to scope her up.

You could just point it at the target! lol

(sorry, I do not think a hen's tooth will work)

Is it a rimfire or a more powerful .22?

Thanx Dante'

I found the mirror at a wrecked race car at California (AAA) Speedway
