As keen as I am to use my new air rifle buying the minimum 3000 targets from the nsra seems a bit overkill. With that in mind does anyone have spare or can you spare a more modest amount of 5 spot 10m air rifle targets? I've seen the white paper ones on eBay but beige seems the way to go. (I don't think I'm ever likely to use that phrase in any other context). Thanks
As above posters pointed out, that's not correct. I buy in 500 or 1000 - 3000 is I think the maximum you can buy for postage (weight) reasons, but you can buy other cards from Edinkillie (I think) as well as Harry Preston etc..

Do you want to add in your price - as per the forum rules.

I would always look on gun trader etc to see what it's worth. Or rather what others are selling similar models for. But at the end of the day it depends on how much you want it...

Thanks, I am considering all options at this stage. Looks like it will probably come down to availability of one type or the other at the right price, as they are becoming very over priced for the new models.
OK, well in addition to the above, you may find some joy looking at gunstar ( .co.uk). It's used by private and trade sellers alike, so you never know...

Ask at the NSRA and maybe also talk to Surrey Guns - re used, they do ocassionally get used FP's. Equally Paul Cutts may be able to point you in the direction of a seller.
I'm curious though why the pardini has been suggested as a good option ? I have and shoot one, but I would probably have got the morini if I'd had a free choice in the models available when I bought mine. (I had to get the pardini as it was the only model that could be made to fit me because of my inability to straighten my arms). The electronics in the morini gives very little grip modification ability of the major type I needed.
Pardini's are also much rarer than morini's so you may well be even harder pushed to source one. In short I'd suggest you at least look at any long arm free pistol that comes up for sale - Morini, Pardini or SAM before narrowing your options.

Well that's very misleading on the NSRA part then, what about people who have to book holidays well in advance, or a booking nra accommodation again in advance
My point was that the NSRA asked us all about thoughts for an alternative venue, so they are obviously considering it. I have no idea how likely a change is or whether it may happen in 2014. I would guess the date is at least fixed but if you're booking accommodation then perhaps ask them if it is definitely at Bisley next year, you can email competitions to ask.

According to the NSRA open meetings calendar the NSRA rifle meeting will be at Bisley between 9th - 17th August 2014
I don't think that means anything, given they've been asking the membership if they'd still shoot if it were A N Other venue. They almost certainly wouldn't have agreed anything with the NRA this far ahead.

Let me ask of our rifle shooters when I see her on Monday.

Hi Duncan i have just got back there are some trade stands there and second hand kit being posted all of the time in stats, with you never gone before its well worth the trip...
To put it into context, it's good to see the whole event if you've never been before. There is one large tent housing the (4 or 5 ?) trade stands plus as mentioned above, second hand stuff in the stats tent. Equally though the NSRA shop over in the LRC has a reasonable amount of stuff to look at and buy plus they have some second hand stuff there.

Thanks to all.....but does anyone want to Buy??
Open to offers....
I appreciate and understand your comments Rutty. Again, sorry I wasnt trying to offend anybody, and at no point did I express that I knew anything Jonty... It probably wasnt my place to comment, but it seemed that the original poster was being polite and repeatedly trying to bring his Sale thread back on track, and my comments have inadvertently made the situation worse, again sorry I'll keep my gob shut in future.
I totally agree with your previous sentiments. As far as I'm concerned this should just be to buy and sell items, not to discuss their merit or provide a history lesson, however interesting that may be. That's why there are other specific forums here. There is a post pinned at the top of the for sales section detailing what it's for.

Why would they want to hang on to tons of old kit ? Surely better to get a few quid for it.
Rob.
I wish I could answer that.
I still have my tracksuit top from the 1966 CG somewhere in the back of the shed, last used years ago when I dug up a lawn.Good to see it's still being used, even if not quite in the manner intended

working on it
it seems quite a shame that an olympic gold medal winner is selling old kit on ebay only weeks after basking in glory in a media friendly popular sport, maybe her funding has dried up

That sounds fair enough to me Simon. Better for the OP rather than a moderator really.
Agreed. If a moderator were to go in and edit they may as well delete the thread and that of course relies on a mod reading all the for sale threads.

I know someone that had one a couple of weeks ago Drop me a pm with your email address and I'll pass that on to him. I don't know if it is still for sale or sold.

I might have one old one like that - let me take a look.

Most gunshops sell them, but I got mine online as I recall. Through an advert in gunmart I think.

Doh, I even looked at the full editor and didn't see that bit (albeit on my very old version of IE).
