I am being serious. Lot of robberies I wouldn't be advertising what I have at this stage :eek:

Indeed. I'd strongly recommend that noone post up their home address, a list of their firearms and where they keep their keys :rolleyes:

Bunny, you do realise that all those who have been targeted so far have been RFDs whose addresses were public domain information (and not through boards.ie), right? That you could pick up a copy of the Irish Shooters Digest from Easons and get their addresses?
And you are aware that unlike the Digest - unless you divulge identity information willingly - you're anonymous in here?

I think you can dial down on the scaremongering a little.

Anschutz 1807L in .22

Currently pricing a Remington 700 VSF in .308

Also thinking of licensing (not buying, someone else's) Anshutz 1710 in .22 for bunnies, as the target rifle isn't the most useful tool for them.

Hi,sorry if in seem rude,new to Boards and Comfuters!!just noticed your pricing a VSF
i've had 2,first 1 was a complete piece of sh1t,tool marks,tares etc in lands(visable by eye&bore light),accuracy was non existant,my dealer was 100%but importers insisted on check by their Gsmith who said=perfect,accurate,lapped bore,no problem!it came back worse and with rusted bore!struggled to get replacement but insisted,2nd arrived with damaged stock!(switched with 1st)but perfect barrel and VERY accurate gun,CHECK everything before you buy, to be honest i think 700 actions are over rated,happy with mine now but$$$$$ spent

Dont let that put you off, The Baikal is a great country gun I have one that is 21 years old. indestructable, I say. Ideal for beating ditches. Think about what you want to do with it and if its rough shooting your grand so long as it fits, if it gets damaged your not going to freak.

Friend of mine as a lovely silver pigeon sporter, went out on the first and brought it back with a couple of nice scratches on it (poor divil) he was crying. He now goes rough shooting with a second hand lanber

They used to say that Baikals were made from second hand railway sleepers. My Baikal as made in USSR on it. (a country that doesnt exist for all you kids out there

hmm, that's food for thought. I'll definitely see whether I can try it out before I buy it. I do trust the dealer I'm talking to though, entirely sound guy, so I don't think he'll be doing me a bad deal anyway.

I'm primarily interested in the Remington because
a) I like the action. It feels very solid and reassuring.
b) It's got a better stock than its competitors.

By all accounts it's accurate enough too. If it'll do around MOA or under I'm happy enough.

stevoman · 23-01-2009 02:44PM

cz .22 and lumar scirocco over and under.

kakashka · 23-01-2009 03:19PM

Have you handled the VSF?stock(first thing i changed) is too light for me,very nose heavy gun or poorly balanced whichever you prefer,IMHO Howa make a better action(basically copy of 700)and if your on budget i'd take a look at them,issues i had were not with dealer but production quality,my VSF is very accurate as i said but you can also get a lemon,
my mission was to customise=700.
good luck with the quest
