Nick, Try putting it on Flebay and make sure that you make it available to International sellers as I had an identical pair to sell and it went to Australia.

Very true Jonty. Regarding the post about someone having their kit stolen it was me who started it, a friend of mine had his butt plate stolen from his bag when he was shooting at the Lord Roberts Centre last year, he never had it back and had to buy a new one. Thank goodness that someone handed my sights in to the organisers as they are not cheap to buy. I don't know who handed them in, but if he or she is on this forum and has read this post then I would like to take the opportunity to thank them.

And I didn't even buy a raffle ticket. Thankfully I will be picking them up on Friday Evening along with some prizes that our Club Members won

Good News, I had e-mailed one of the organisers of the shooting competition prior to this post and was told that someone had handed them in. I am so glad that there are some honest people still around. Just wondering if a moderator could please remove this post

Hi All, I know this is not the correct place for this post but hopefully people will look at it. Yesterday I was at the Somerset Open Shoot and I left behind my Sights and Glasses. if anyone on this forum was there and has found them, Please could you let me know. I would be extremely grateful Thank You

I am sure I have read it as well ?

I can confirm that, yes, the ball bearings DO fall out if you keep undoing that screw (it's easier than you think!) It's happened to me once during a match, and a handful of times in training, and now it's just become part of my drill to make sure the screw is done up again fully after I undo it to release it. Hasn't happened since. I can also add it is ALMOST impossible to get the BBs back in again, and a real pain in the a*se. I told MEC about the problem, and asked what I could do to prevent it, and they sent me a new front part of the sling. As I eventually found the missing BB (it was in the turn up of my jeans...) I now always carry a spare in my kit bag In short, great sling, just be careful when undoing it and ALWAYS do it up tight immediately after you release it from the handstop. Well I tried the MEC sling out yesterday for the first time it felt ok and is very well made, is it worth the full asking price NO. I can also see where you can have trouble with ones "Ball's" falling out, in practice a pain in the bum, in a competition a nightmare, so I might modify the sling to take the standard spring loaded fitting. Has anyone done this because of theirs falling apart.

Hi Tiny, What model sight is it and why are you selling it. Gary

No problem at all Martin, any debate or information on shooting is as far as I am concerned welcome. I have seen a good shooter with it reasonably tight on their arm but still able to get their fingers under the cuff, if this is the same as Timinder's fairly loose description I do not know

My sling has arrived all I have to do now is to try it out.

Well after all the comments both positive and negative, I have decided to get one especially as I have been offered one at a reasonable price. So watch this space as I will soon be offering my Kurt Thune ATL sling for sale.

Thanks for the comments regarding the reliability of the MEC sling, we have an Elite female shooter in our club at the moment and she said that with hers the ball bearings had come out. From where I dont know. She has not had the sling for long but at her level it does get a lot of use. She also said that although it was a good sling, it was not exactly cheap

If this is the same as the MEC adjustable sling currently under discussion in the TargetTalk forum, you might want to think again. Allegedly it is susceptible to breaking. It looks like it's the same one, thanks for letting me know.

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.

Hi all, I would like to buy a MEC Anti Puse sling, so if anyone wants to get rid of one for a sensible price, then I can find a good home for it.

I am looking for a System Gemini AKTIV handstop, if anyone has one for sale then I would be interested

I am looking for a Caldwell rest, if anyone has one to sell then please let me know.

Hi David, Allthough I was the one who sent Narrowboat a PM regarding the Gehmann sight it was actually to put him in touch with a friend of mine who was looking for one. He did buy it but hasn't had a chance to try it out yet as he is on holidays, when he does I will let you know how he gets on with it. My appologies for the slow reply but I have been on holidays myself. Gary

Hi Narrowboat, I have just sent you a PM GaryD

Thanks Robin, Someone spotted (excuse the pun) my post and contacted me, so thanks to this site I have already sold it on behalf of my friend. So it saves me having to advertise it on E-bay. Thanks to everyone for the help.

Hi, Thanks for the info I will have a look around as you suggested. GaryD

I am looking for some advice as to what a friend of mine who wants to put his Kowa Angled Scope up for sale on E Bay can expect for it. It is in good condition as it has been kept in a sheepskin cover since new. Any advice to what it's worth would be appreciated, he thinks it is a TS 1, but cannot be sure.

I have just put my old Andrew Tucker mat in the bin (it fell apart), so I am looking for a replacement

Well I have had a phone around and guess what I cant find anybody with the scopes mentioned above. Rather than wait until bisley week can anyone recommend a good quality scope covering 24x to 36x

Thanks for the information guys, it looks like I will have to look around a bit more. I will be going to the Bisley smallbore shoot for the day, so I will have a look on the board in the stats tent when I am up there, but i was hoping to get one sooner rather than later. Al What do you use the 36X for, at that magnification I would be all over the place
