storm in a teacup Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'm looking for my first .243 as my FAC has recently dropped on my doorstep. I'm looking for a package of rifle, mod, scope if possible. It doesn't have to be the best looking as long as it shoots straight and I will only have it out a few times a year. I live near dumfries but I can travel a couple of hour's in either direction. I'm putting the feelers out now but im not looking to buy until I get paid at the end of the month, sorry but this month has been a bit tight with unexpected bills. I'm not looking to spend too much. Thanks for looking, WHY? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 If RFD is an option I'm sure I have a few to choose from. What's the budget? Edd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edd Thanks for the offer but I dont really want to buy something unseen. I know it limits my choices somewhat but I've done it before and its not something I'm in a hurry to do again.

Scully Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Gardner’s Guns just outside Carlisle, isn’t too far from you if you’re around Dumfries, they often have quite a selection of secondhand CF rifles in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
