I tried that and they rang me up and said i needed to specify which one 🙂
I could understand that for a more "exotic" version of 7.62mm, but not in this case. They need to be educated about what is different & what is the same - maybe a Club Sec or County Sec can get in touch with them?

you need to specify either .308 or 7.62 on your variation
Very strange - my authority (Cambs) & quite a few others I have seen on different FACs have the generic 7.62mmx51/.308 which covers all the legal requirements.
I have seen once "7.62mmx51/.308WIN" (which is the same of course).
If you wanted to play with some versions of a Mosin Nagent, they use 7.62mmx54R...... or, 7.62mmx53R for Finnish versions! 😉 Different categories for your FAC / variation.

Also worth keeping an eye on Holts auctions.
Holt - yep, but timescale / availability / travel options not always ideal (one month to collect after auction of have dispatched to RFD). Note the Buyer’s Premium of 25% (& VAT of course).
Whilst difficult to compare guide prices versus achieved prices (as no general tgt rifles in their last auction), a lot of the "popular" firearms sales went quite a way over the guide price. If you fork out £1000 on Holts, plus their Buyer's Premium + VAT, then other options (if available of course) could well be cheaper.
This one on Guntrader has a 'scope (flog it off to buy the TR rear sights) & a shorter than ideal barrel. New barrel = about £900 so worth looking at.
Very basic P14 (not the best action, but useable) on Gunwatch, cheap & cheerful.
Reasonable Musgrave (but harder to get spares for them) here.
-
Looking out on behalf of a club member for a reasonable TR 'scope stand please - Ewing style or similar model would be great - to match with an existing KOWA TSN-1 'scope.
-
You missed out by a couple of weeks on a very, very reasonably priced Swing!
Look on Gunstar, Guntrader or similar, TRs come up every now & then; 7.62 / 308 = the same thing as far as TR is concerned. Got a variation yet in your FAC? Might take a while depending on your local Police authority.
Fultons of Bisley have some secondhand stock - this one looks reasonable- but you will always pay a bit extra from Fultons. Useful though if you need quick adjustments/ tweaks.
To get a good rifle, decent action, good barrel, sights & reasonable stock, you will probably have to budget about £1k or slightly more.
Any TR club local to you to see if anyone is selling a rifle?

You have PM. 👍
-
Holts Auctions sometimes have some reasonable options - sealed bids, so prices probably a little higher than quoted - here is a Swing. And another one.
Note 20% commission + VAT I think.

A 22mm variable iris can be bought new here for £55. Genuine as I bought one myself.
So did I, very happy with the purchase.

Air Rifles
in Wanted
I'm guessing that you are looking for BSA Scorpion model?
Haven't see any for "private" sale - they are a bit basic for people who want air rifles for vermin shooting, etc.
Might have to go the official cadet route.
-
Probably easier / quicker to make (or print with 3D printer) if you have dimensions?
-
Very similar to a GreenKat I think - still a reasonable starter 'scope, some TR shooters use them for long range.
-
I'll take the torque wrench please. Standing by for PM for payment / postage. Might take a day or so to catch up, travelling international later.
-
I think you need to edit your link or add a list? The (broken link above shows a sling only.
-
Depends on your budget - several on Ebay such as this one.

he's re-barrelled a couple of target rifles for me,
Just run-in / zeroed my Paramount last Fri - new 1:13 Kreiger, 30" barrel fitted by him - all very neat & tidy. After running it in, had a quick shoot on an e-tgt at 300x - 50.8 was the best score, both the dropped V's were down to me! 😉
-
Just to point anyone in his direction (I have a vested interest as I'm getting an action done over winter! 😉 ), if anyone is looking to have any re-bluing done, this is a possible option:
David Crispin
Crispin Engineering Ltd.
Hut 60 Bisley Camp
Queens Road
Brookwood
GU24 0NP -
I would like to recommend this company should you need to have a rifle / shotgun / pistol woodwork that needs to be refreshed.
Specialist Stocks & Finishing Ltd
Before & after pictures, my Paramount stock that hadn’t been cleaned up for over 10 years!
Rob Libbiter has worked miracles. Stripped all the rubbish off & then a 2 coat varnish, only £75 + postage (£15 in this case).
Very happy to recommend - he can do a deeper gloss finish - about £20 or so more, & of course, stain to your chosen colour & conceal repairs.
I can PM individual photos if required rather than the “composite” shots below.
Contact: roblibbiter “at” gmail.com

There might be a Gemini / RPA combination becoming available via a friend.

That Quadlock would be perfect if it wasn't left handed.
B*gger! Didn't notice that! 😆

Hmmm, might be a tight budget, unless a good Swing comes along.
Brand new barrel, proofed = circa £800, so say at least £500-£600 for a low use example.
Action = new Barnard-P is about £1300-£1400. At least £1000 for second hand?
Sights - decent rear sight (Centra), maybe £400. Foresight - 22mm ladder = £130. Say £400 second hand, no irises (£150+?).
Stock - £500 -> lots if Gemini!
Adding that up = £600 + £1000 + £400 + £500. = £2500?
Fairly standard Swing here - only 28" barrel though.
How about this Quadlock?

Just for fun, I've messaged Derbyshire Firearms via the on-line contact form, suggesting that they move to "7.62mmx51/.308WIN" 😉
