Have you stopped eating Squishy. In your photos you have been getting progressively thinner. You have now gone all dark around the eyes.
 
You need a couple of fish suppers in you lad, 'Not a AHG sightrack'!

You are correct Jonty and I was going to bid on it as it was due to finish at about 3 pm on Saturday.
 
Unfortunatly a member of the Rifle club and a fellow poster on this site who shall remain nameless, dragged me fighting and screaming to the local Supermarket Cafe for a full english breakfast and I missed it.
 
I hasten to add, I only had a sandwich.

When it comes to things like including a rear sight with a rifle it depends on when in your shooting career you are. If it is a first rifle, well yes you are most likely to want it to come with sights. That is also when you are most likely to accept a "basic" sight unit. If you have been shooting for a number of years then there is a good chance that when it comes to sights you are actually going to know just what you want, and that may very well not be the basic unit that comes with many rifles these days. I seem to remember that the club FWB P 700 that Roise started with did not seem that well made, but having just looked at the Walther basic unit from a LG 300 that is actually very well made. The thing is though that for many years Anschutz included as standard with the majority of their rifles what many considered to be one of the best rear sight units that money could buy. This is not necessarily a good idea from a business stand point if you also sell the sights. Given the choice between dropping the sights, or starting to put an inferior product in I think from a PR view they took the right choice. Can you imagine the outcry if they had taken the other option?
 
Now of course you are probably going to get a good deal from a dealer if you buy a rifle along with a set of sights. Now for a new shooter that can leave them open to getting what the dealer wants to sell them, but as target shooters (at least in the UK) HAVE to belong to a suitable club they should be getting good advice from the other members over what is good or not.
