Fargo Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Some cheap lots gun wise - mainly side by side. AYA # 2 at moment £85, vgc # 4’ £100 etc Note it’s Salisbury and they don’t offer rfd services so you have to collect. Wouldn’t let me copy and paste the website so a pic will have to do.

Fargo Posted October 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Cheap .243 595 Tikka with S&b scope £270 so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 56 minutes ago, Fargo said: Cheap .243 595 Tikka with S&b scope £270 so far Scope is probably worth that or more. 595 Tikka are lovely and far superior made to modern Tikka, but beware, lots of 595’s /S+B were police owned and fired countless thousands on a range.

Old Boggy Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Plenty of cartridges going cheap if they remain within the estimate range. If only Tightchoke was nearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 First time in years I've not bid on anything. Watching the carts go up, usually buy a few thousand but not this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will stay at rock bottom for many years! Less and less shooting people with rising prices and less access to clay shoots and game or vermin.

If only Tightchoke was nearer Cartridges usually go up beyond the estimate prices,and with 18% buyers premium they become very near current shop prices.

My friend who is an RFD says Holts won't take in any stalking rifles at present because they can't sell the ones they have got. It's like standing on the beach watching the tide go out. We have had members of our club cry off going on the monthly trip to Bisley this summer because they cant get primers to load ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 That's the first one in about 6 years that I've not bid on anything. I was chatting to the big fella, you'll know who I mean when you meet him (bloody hell I've met him 10+ times and can't remember his name, not Iain Souter), anyway, he said they've stopped taking in **** condition guns as they have to charge when they don't sell and then scrap all the rubbish that wasn't safe to sell that they used to take in and wouldn't sell for a quid, which is why I'm guessing that quite a lot of listings now have the barrel thickness stated.

Yeh disposing of old rubbish costs now. One rfd in bmouth wanted £70 to take one off my license and ended up taking it to Blandford for a tenner. Amazes me the price of cartridges there. For £5 more can go to a shop and get a slab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy on here had the last one as he was going to teach kids I think Hello So far it's been out about 8 times with 3 different young folk. They appreciate having an opportunity to explore different types of gun and how to handle them all safely. I am considering one of them becoming the legal owner in 4 years once they show a continued interest and they consider their own licence, as he has a love for a SxS for the classical look. Thankyou for giving some kids an opportunity ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
