  1. I have a Canon EOS 300D digital SLR surplus to requirements. Bought in March 2005 (in Melbourne), probably taken about 19,000 pics with it.

     

    Comes with a 4GB SanDisk Ultra II Compact Flash card and the standard EF-S 18-55mm kit lens.

     

    I also have the optional BG-E1 battery grip, and two EF zoom lenses available:

     

    28-90mm

    90-300mm

     

    both bought at the same time

     

    It's a little dated now compared to the current models of digital SLRs, but will still take great pics. I replaced it with a 450D perhaps 18 months ago.

     

    Sensible offers considered...

  2. Wooden stock P70, in reasonable condition, been used for approx six years including Gold and Silver in British Junior Women's Championship, Commonwealth Youth Games, Australian Youth Olympic Festival and Nordic Junior Champs.

     

    Comes complete as shown, includes Centra 1.8 Basic Iris, Centra Block8 and Centra Block Max.

     

    5,000 H&N Finale Match selected at the factory included.

     

    Looking for £750 ono.

     

    In Central Scotland but can be shipped to your nearest RFD if required.

  3. Demonloop, I like the slightly less subtle version, presumably illustrating target shooting with eley tracer ? (other ammo brands are of course available).

    Eh, more like an adapted version of his company logo! Maybe I should do a medal-type version, with an S instead of an E?

     

    Hi Mac, saved you the bother!

  5. would this possibly fit another rear iris? I have a walther rearsight iris....

    Unlikely, these mirrors screw onto a Centra iris in place of an existing ring on the unit - the ring can alternatively be replaced with coloured versions. Centra make another product, the Mirror 'Stranger', which might well fit on your Walther unit.

  6. Oh, you have to be so fussy about this! It's pretty well just as important as the diameter, and with a variable iris you will only have a choice of very thick or very, very thick!

     

    Not to be thick, but what would you suggest? I'm in the same boat and would appreciate some advice.

    You have to experiment I'm afraid. Some people shoot best with thick foresight rings, others better with thinner, and unless you try the options you are unlikely to find out. I'm on a 1.0 width High-End element at the end of a long tube, so it's really thin. Anything thicker than that and I struggle. On the other hand Cliff Ogle has always used the thickest elements he can get his hands on, and for a long time he used two metal elements together to make the ring even thicker...

  7. One of my local clubs - Alloa & District - has an opportunity to have members of their local youth club come to try air rifle shooting on a regular basis on their new 10m range. They are looking to source some older, i.e. cheaper, air rifles to allow them to exploit this opportunity. Anyone got any old FWB 300/300S or even 600 etc they would like sell at a reasonable price? If so, Please contact Willie McAuley on william445@btinternet.com

  9. Hi

     

    Had someone on the phone offering me a FWB 700 alu second hand - probably take about £750 for it. We (Edinkillie) don't deal with second hand kit at all, and I don't want it personally, but if anyone is interested then PM me and I'll give you the details.

  10. I had one of Barry's tubes that fitted a 1913 without drilling for any screws - was located by grub screws down into the grooves, and then clamped underneath. Never really got to use it as Cliff Ogle went off with the front bit and I've only ever seen it since when he's shooting!

  11. I think if it were me and I don't know Richard's circumstances I would want to keep the old one until I was satisfied that the new one could give me equally good results and I was comfortable with it but finances and student impoverishment might not allow that.

     

    If he doesn't get on with the new one then it will be very expensive to get back to where he is now.

    I agree, but what do I know?
