So where's your Christmas comp pic in a different setting? 

Mark One BSA Meteor with BSA Mk.1 telescope.

Dad bought me one for Christmas in 1961. Meteor was £9.45 and the scope was £2.10.  Total £11.55p. Dad earned £10 per week then.

Not the same one, unfortunately Mr. Figgy. I parted with the first one about 1965, regretted it and bought another which I kept until about 1972. The current one is the second one I have had purely for collection purposes. I collect older BSA’s up to Mk.2 Airsporter. Unusually, this Meteor has a .22 serial number stamped on the barrel but is a .177. And it chrono’s hobby’s at 800 FPS!

Very nice, and different,  not sure many could take that sort of pic, some tinsel on the horns and boom.

@Walker570 come on nev, can you beat this for its uniqueness?

OK...lots pf memories, the middle photo is my Slovenian wall, the fallow was shot in the USA (Texas) as was the mouflon and the boarand javelina tusks, the spanish goat again in Texas along with a ringtail and another mouflon the pictures on the wall show wild boar in Poland and Slovenia and Texas.  Non of this stuff was shot with the little AA S200.

I do hope this is not going to turn into a willy waving contest!

If it does, I’m out!

PS The Blue Wildebeest bull was not shot with the Meteor either,

Just keeping it ticking over, best photo I've managed was a stick😭 

Didn't realise yours was a wildebeest.

I'm afraid I would be out of it as well :cry1: but Mice taunted me and you egged me on.

Me taunt? As if I would 😂😂

Getting a little more ‘festive’ now.

1905 First Batch BSA, serial num. 1570, with home made aperture sight. Very accurate, won many a pineapple at bell target.
Oh, eight different single malts and a bottle of cooking whisky.72A5CCAF-37FD-4968-A5C7-561D666FD016.jpeg.bef5892b13a24f8d7e0c29b9287b77f4.jpeg

Very nice, but your confusing me, I'm getting torn between the whiskeys and the classic rifle.

Looks to be in fantastic condition for her age
