safetyfirst Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Hi all. I have been asked by Alan's family to take care of the sale of his CZ 452 .17HMR rifle. The money will go directly to the family to help with funeral costs. Those of you who have been out with Alan will know he kept it in excellent condition and that it shoots straight as a nail. For sale are: 1. CZ 452 .17HMR rifle - Trigger kit fitted, barrel floated, v.Good condition. £250 ONO 2. Extendable bipod £15 The rifle has been transferred to the Cheshire Gun Room, a reputable RFD in Stockport, Manchester. Buyer will collect from there once funds have been transferred. Cash price on the rifle alone (new) is about £450. Offers around the £250 mark. The family would like the rifle to go to someone who Knew Alan and enjoyed his company whilst out shooting so they have asked me to sell it here, where the most people that knew Alan were likely to see the ad.

safetyfirst Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Any offers at all? This has to go, feel free to make a reasonable offer. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Any offers at all? This has to go, feel free to make a reasonable offer. Chris I did not know Albob but he seems to be well respected and liked. If you do not get any reasonable offers, could Pigeon watch organise a raffle for the rifle, you may get more money than you were hoping to raise . It would only need 500 of us to put in £1.00 and you would be away , I am sure PW followers would be glad to help. I do not want a rifle but would be happy to start the ball rolling with a Tenner.

Bakerboy Nice idea but what are the chances of finding 50 people with a free .17 slot that want a rifle and are prepared to pay a tenner to probably not get one? I'm investigating other avenues of sale as well, just I'd rather it went to one of his mates is all. Thanks. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to make sure the thread stays at the top of the pile, I think they call it bouncing, not strictly correct but in this case I am sure it will be permissable :blink: Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Looks like a heavy barrelled american as well which is what I've got so slightly less usual if so.

Zapp Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Glad to hear that the gun is sold. It is worth pointing out though that it is not possible to "bump" items on here because of the way the forum is set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
