Alanl50 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well another massive thanks to Suffolk Police force. I applied for a variation to my FAC to get a .243 for deer and fox on the 24/01/13, well it popped through my letter box today WHHOOOOPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Look out wallet your going to get a bashing lol I can not thank my FEO enough for all his help --- again. So now Im on the look out, I found Browning A bolt, Moderator, bases, and Leopold rings all for £750 brand new so that seems pretty good to me from all the internet trawling Ive done, is it a good deal???

Its all private like I said. Jon Brown will look after you, he has some good deals on there, especially cracking prices with his ammo. The rifle you are looking at sounds like a good buy. There will be a .22-250 and a 243 there to shoot. I sold my 6.5 and am now on the look out for a cheap 308. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Well after 2 sleepless nights I bought a Howa model 1500 Stainless steel and a Wildcat moderator, Leupold VX2 on top, I nipped up one of the farms yesterday afternoon and put 2 rounds through it, 50 yards freehand I wacked a sugarbeet then got the remains so not far out, its only been set up with a collimator in the shop. Happy days Its secondhand but mint. I usually only buy new but bargain is a bargain. Thanks for your help "12bore jimbo" Alan Edited February 17, 2013 by Alanl50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
