Came home with a a400 xtreme. Told the other half it was the cheaper gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Most of my gun purchases have been impulsive as I don't go into gun shops with the intent to buy, but simply for a look about but then stumble across something I wasn't expecting to see. I went into Lakeland Guns for a box of shotgun cartridges and came out with a little used Winchester 1500 XTR and a sleeper of a Winchester 101! The chequering was still sharp on both these guns.Am a big Winchester fan. But my most expensive was a beautiful Renato Gamba Daytona which I spotted in a gun rack while I waited for a mate to come back from the loo!

Gordon R Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 In the 1990s, I went to Jim Sandifords - Honda Motocross dealer in Burnley - for some brake pads for a CR500. In the showroom was a two year newer CR500, tuned by Steve Clitheroe, who I know. Two minutes of haggling and the CR500 was in the back of our motocross van. A few thousand quid - was the eldest grateful - complained about the graphics. :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbank Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Congratulations eredel on your purchase of a Beretta AL390 Gold Mallard! My impulse buy coincidentally relates to a AL390 Gold Mallard. The connecting rod on mine broke about ten days before Christmas a couple of years back. My local gun dealer placed one on order for me but reckoned it would be well into the new year before my Beretta would be back in action. On the strength of that I immediately bought an A300 Outlander which had just been released. As it happened GMK got a replacement to me within a few days. No matter, the Outlander has proved a great gun which I use in wet and muddy conditions to which I would not expose the Gold Mallard. Not sure I will always follow my RFD's advice in future however, "lost a snap cap sir? I would recommend a new Beretta SO10 sir, which happens to come with a pair of free snap caps!" P.S. I now carry a spare connecting rod which will fit either gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Where do I start...... How about "I've got a cabinet full of impulse buy's" and then I'd only have to post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
