    Third time lucky is it ? Last time then ... That M55 db58 is selling will be a stunning rifle. It may need a new barrel, in which case the gun is worth about £200, if it doesn't then it's worth £500
  2. There is a missunderstanding going on here .... You do not have to supply your medical records. I think @old'unhas hit the nail on the head. Your 'lad on the farm' hasn't fully understood what has been asked and niether has the FLO at NWP. Anyway i'm glad you're all sorted @snow white
  3. That's inncorrect, you do NOT need to supply your medical records at all. Whoever told you that is mistaken.

    The M55 that @db58was selling (for his mate) is a really well made gun. It's an older moder of Tikka (Tikkakoski) which (IMO) will be better made than the current batch of mas produced Tikka rifles. As long as it's not been shot out - which you can easily get checked - and the seller offers it you at a reasonable price (around £200 to £300). Braces of Bristol have a .243 for sale @ £150 - the one @db58 is selling looked to be in better condition TBH. If it is shot out (which to be honest it probably is as it was made in 1970 ish) you can get it rebarrelled which opens up a range of chamberings (.22-250, 243, 6.5CM or .308 for example). I would expect that you'd end up with a really good rifle for less than you £1K budget. https://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/threads/tikka-value-m55.177331/
  6. I live in Scotland too, if you are a drug addict or an alcoholic (active or 'recoivering') you get free gym membership. Otherwise as a law abiding/healthy/tap paying adult it's around £39 a month If you get community service for (basically) being disrespectful of other persons and property, you get free hours in the gym which count down your 'punishment' at 1.5 times (66 hours in the gym = 100 hours community service). There are lots of other 'perks' too, in fact there are career scroungers that play the system very successfully, flats, clothing allowances, holidays paid for, a weekly income .... You don't really need to be clever or hard working just understand and play the system and your quids in.
  7. I have one of those too. Can't hit many clays with it but good lightwieght gun for walking up in the autumn and snapping at game/pigeon.
  8. I saw a blind sheepdog sh@gging a cabbage once .... He thought it was a collie .. 🦮
  9. It's got porridge in it, the english (real) version is soooo much better.

    The givaway is the mauser (short) action. This rifle was made by Tikkakoshi prior to Sako buying them out and changing the name to Tikka. Sako bought Tikkakoshi in 1983 so this will be prior to that, probably 1978 (ish) so it's circa 40 to 45 years old (not 5 as you said @db58). The later versions (after 1982) featured a large plastic ball end on the bolt. It's a well made rifle, the problem with a .22-250 is that they are a hot round so often the throat is burnt out - this one may not be but i'd reccommend it's borescoped to check. They also have a 1:12 (early versions were 1:14) twist rate so would struggle with non lead bullets over 45gr, possibly 40gr. 50 and 55gr lead projectiles would be fine. Like all .22-250's, in good condition, this would be a really good, flat shooting foxing rifle.

    Bit confused by your post (above) ? "Thats the first one" - first what ? Yes, I am saying that I don't think it's a Tikka T3 as the bolt, bolt shroud and safety look wrong. I maybe making a mistake and No I don't want to 'bet on it' but I would like you to tell me (teach me really) the mistake I am making ...

    No, but I would like you to tell me (teach me really) the mistake I am making ... Was the rifle made by Sako ?

    What makes you think it is a T3 ? I think the bolt is wrong for a T3 as is the safety. It looks like it's a good rifle, probably better than the modern T3's.

  18. Looks like a nice wee trap. I have 2 ProMatic Super Hawk's already. One I mounted on an old wheelbarrow frame, the other is on a frame, with remote Az and El adjustment, in an Erde trailer.
  19. Mustards nice, but we're not asking about your sex life ....
  20. £8 for postage sounds a lot but as you are in Spain that's not to bad I guess....
  21. Sorry, didn't know they made a trap called the Pigeon ..... I'll drop to the back of the que am still interested but would want to negotiate the price ...
  22. I'm interested ..... (am in Lanark) Can you post a picture ? Or PM me one ....
