TopScots, Cz seems to be doing well, not many cv 19 cases and the range has been open since last Tuesday. Shops should open during May. I am not sure that this is not premature though. 

There  seems a glut of SLR ( L1A1’s) here -refurbished 308 semi autos for +/- £600 retail. I don’t think them prices make it an attractive proposition for anyone to re- manufacture as a straight pull or .22 semi though.

I think it may be a little early, eventually the decision is going to come that life must go on.   The CZ got in early enough with there block on movement.  It’s now everyone else spreading the infection.   

The SLR at 600 May still be a good option for a UK shooter if it can be converted at reasonable cost.  The last straight pull variants new here I think we’re around 3k.  I’m not sure if it can be done.  Perhaps a project for a rifle builder.

The Sa80 was the gift that kept on giving for HK in terms of upgrade packages. Now must be about end of life cycle.

On a lighter note how are things in the Czech Republic, I made it back to the Uk just in time to enter lockdown.  Not ideal but still good to be home for a while.

It seems to me that many of those who criticise the SA80 on forums have never even seen an A2 or A3, far less fired one. Truly the dreadful A1 continues to cast a long shadow. The fact is that the A2 endured a decade of hard use on Ops Telic and Herrick with very few problems. It works reliably, shoots accurately and does its job well. 

BD is quite right about its disadvantages of weight and handedness, (although the A3 has managed to trim off 150g!). The A3 has a few ergonomic improvements and does seem to shoot a bit tighter. 

We also hear the usual allegations of MOD corruption, which is total rubbish.

Have used both he A2 and A 3 A2 extensively.  The rifle was not fit for purpose.  Hence the upgrades, granted heckler and Koch made the rifle work a little better, still not ideal.  The telling is in the foreign sales. The Singapore police I think we’re the only other organisation to use the rifle.   corruption or favouring the lowest bidder much the same as the current run out of Virtus kit, which is shambolic delivering products unfit for purpose, where an of the shelf system would have worked. 

The fact that any British military unit that can choose to use another weapon has done so speaks for itself. The marines being the latest to opt for the C8.  

The fact that vehicle crews in Iraq almost always commandeered an AK to have a short range weapon that worked in the turret is a reputation that will remain with the rifle for its entire life.  Not so much in Afghanistan as weapons were by that stage returned for forensic/ballistic examination or stolen by the ANA ANP.

Having  used both  M4 and SA80 on operations I know which one I would choose.

however everyone is entitled to an opinion, perhaps the A3 will find favour.

The SA80 has been proven woefully incapable. On now it’s third rewrite it does indeed work.  However all a little late, the procurement system of the UK MOD is flawed.  It has taken years to not only improve a failed rifle.  Create some abortions of PPE all instead of buying off the shelf kit that works.   The Royal Marines move away from using he same kit as the Army is a telling sign.   To many backhanders and ex senior Officers working for defence companies. 

To be fair, things are s long at the minute. Lots of bored people at home not spending money on going out.  Now might be the right time to sell 

i have the same scope with the np 1rr reticle that I may be forced to part with. 800 would be my bottom line for selling the scope.  At 700 it would go quickly, yours is easily worth 800 what are you looking at changing to ? It is normally easier to work a trade deal than a cash sale especially given current times

There sightron bargains are exceptional, some cheaper than current used prices.

Much of this stuff has been debunked elsewhere - hot drinks, fibrosis test etc.  Your quoted peace is clumsily written and smacks of Farcebook "advice"  not NHS medical guidance.

Unfortunately true, all of that is gumph.    The only way to beat this virus is to stay indoors, stop the spread of the virus host's and hopefully in turn the spread of the virus.   

All the Facebook gimic advice is useless achieving nothing.

1 vortex and the PM2 remaining

PM 2 now 615 if sold today

635 if not grab a bargain. 

Sig now sold remainder still available. 

All sold

I am looking at parting with my lightly used vortex RF binos.  Ping me a message if interested. 

Is anyone out there using a Bradley arms AR 10. 

Or holding contact details for the guy running the business at the moment. 

I have tried the website phone number to no avail. 

A small question has raised its head.

Yeah I continued the email conversation They wanted me to drive to an address down a lane in Kirkby Stephen to do the deal with cash. Not good at all.  

This is extreme an attempt to set up an ambush style robbery, i am hoping you have reported it to the police.  At best they intended to rob you, at worst they may have had the idea of using you to gain access to your firearms.  If it was a mere robbery a bank transfer or paypal fraud would have worked, although traceable.

Same scanners have tried on the stalking directory. What's more concerning is that the two idiots are or one are likeley shooters to be on these forums.  Let's hope they get tracked down. 

Any 1-6 will work well. I is d a sig sauer 1-6,x 24 purely because I didn't want to buy another scope for one trip. Its now sat gathering dust if you are interested. 

A bargain at this price surely someone out there must be tempted.  A true one of a kind

Depends what you are looking for, I have Nightforce and Gen 1 PST to be honest i am happy with both of them, i have no issues with either, they are not schmidt and bender or swarovski.  However for a scope that is at home on the range as well as being capable stalking/foxing.   

A used PST GEN 1 can be had for 400-450 just now, thats a bargain with the lifetime warranty included.

I can throw in a pair of ammo boots and some Scottish falling down water.

WISH the f*ckin recruiters knew their arses from their elbows.
He was Scots Guards recruit - had a MINOR issue once IN Catterick (that had been present for 5 or 6 years) and had been waved off at all pre-joining medicals, initial Basic medical, etc.
Initially they said it wasn't a problem, then it WAS but the army would make sure it was fixed while in their care & he'd not be medically discharged, then some RAMC spunktrumpet decides it's a huge problem (it wasn't*) so he gets a medical discharge.

*Based on a couple of very qualified specialist consultants who assessed and treated the issue, with zero evidence from very extensive tests of the problem the RAMC quack dreamed up.
Sadly, as he's been operated on I can no longer beckon him by the correct terminology, Clarence...

ANYWAY - he's been trying to get back in for a good few months. Between the Training Coy in Catterick, the Admin cockwombles in Wilts and the local recruiting office, I fear for the UK infantry's ability to fire a group of five rounds in the direction of the enemy. 

It's got to be so bad he has also applied to join the Navy - they must be hard up as they want to put him in a tin fish thing that hides under the waves - but again, no real speed on getting him from under our feet to under theirs. They are insisting on him having a passport first. None of my relatives were asked for one on that trip they did to Normandy in '44 - there were no frogs around to show one too anyway!
@John MH - anyone need a batman, mess orderly, crap house commando?

Yep, that is about where we are at with recruitment just now.  It is getting better slowly but surely.  Its unfortunate the army can't tie all departments down together.  Hopefully they take him back in, if only to prevent him being traded in to slavery.

Got a 22yr old step-son similarly gathering dust, done bugger all since he left the Guards.
He has an amusement value of guessing what bizarre thing he's next planning to do on a daily basis.
Ideal for odd jobs around the house - doing the dishes (badly), walking the dogs (weekly), feeding the guinea pigs, overloading the washing machine, staring blankly into space every hour on the hour...
How about the gat & a wooden case of L42 ammo & we'll call it a straight swap.
He was raised in Scotland so should fit back into things once you've opened the shipping crate.
😁

Sounds like a fair deal, i may be interested, however the last 23 years of dealing with the mixture of stroppy teenagers and overeducated,under experienced public school boys.  Unfortunately means i shall respectfully decline.

However as he has decades of use left in him, i would happily get a recruiter to pop  around and remove him from under your feet. 

Rifle is gathering dust, I don't see me ever squeezing in the time to use. Grab a piece of history. All trades part trades considered.

TTT

I know this is old but did you sell this in the end?

If I did there is a nice cz in 22 hornet with Cluny guns in Fife. Not pretty but a tack driver in a boys stock. For 200quid. The stock alone is worth that.
