  1. Indeed, rare that a 'starter' will have £3.5k to pop in one go. Or need two jackets ;o)

    Gonna need some size information on that clothing too whether you split or not. If you do split, we have some beginners looking for jackets 'n' that at my club.

  2. Yes, I have a buttplate carrier for the precise available. Will post a piccy up later after I get home.

     

    Rods are new, plate has been mildly used, you wouldn't tell without a close goggle TBH. Looking for £85. £104 new ;) BACS accepted (or cash if you're going to the SCSBRA Gala dinner), PM me!

  3. I agree with Tim, in that the OP has been pretty open, so aside from an anecdotal misquote, I do not see any deception here.

     

    The asking price has also dropped over the course of the thread and in any case has always been subject to offer.

     

    Perhaps there is other politics at play of which the majority are not aware.

     

    I think clarification of the bolt type is still outstanding though?

  4. It's not clear whether the bolt in the above photo is Chris's actual bolt or a 'stock photo' in which Chris has ringed a part in red. I suspect the latter, which may be what is causing distraction with the orientation of the bolt handle.

     

    Personally, I was interested to observe the safety catch element as I've not encountered one before.

  5. ...they can stiffen up over the course of a shoot.

     

    I was hoping your trade knowledge would come in useful. Thank you, I have experienced this a couple of times and wondered what it was. Folk borrowing my rifle afterward seemed oblivious (cooled down?). Only just got hold of a cocking tool to allow me to open up the bolt (well, to set it again afterward) but happy I don't have to.

     

    Still takes the barrel out of the lock of the barn door at 1,000 yards in a stiff breeze though, which is all I really care about :)

  6. Squishy, can you confirm if the Vibrake has a continuous dovetail?

     

    I've seen a picture of the extended one (for 'scopes) where it seems to, but not a clear picture of the standard version.

     

    Thanks,

    H.

     

    Edit: reduce terminology overloading

  7. What are the chances of that - TWO lefties, EACH with a 1907 in a Precise barely worn in, EACH giving up prone - AT THE SAME TIME?!

     

    If I was a lefty I'd be trembling with delight right now watching the price war ;)

  8. In the interests of expediency due to the fact that I am around at Bisley this Friday and Saturday, and in the event that Jamie doesn't get to his PMs in time, would the intended recipient of the "neostyle" Champion shooting frames please get in touch so we can arrange a swap for the rearsight and mitt that you have likely been sent instead...
