Both CO and myself were pruning at the same time, and the thread I had merged them into was deleted by CO....but its all good now.

I was thinking more of putting them in the shipping container. but as you guys have pointed out it will probably be easier to dump em in the uk and get new over there.

Re: air weapons?

Surely buying a gun from crappy tire is like buying a bike from crappy tire. Its nice and new, but it wont last you, and anyone taking the sport seriously buys better gear at a specialised store?

Savage makes fine rifles... that was a very good suggestion from triumphguy. That rifle will be in fine condition 100 years from now.

Not all of what Crappy Tire sells is crap.

Some very good deals can be had but you have to know what your shopping for.

Sorry you're wrong here Iaink.

Not everything in Canadian Tire is crap. You can get Blaser, Weatherby, Remington, Marlin, Browning, Savage, CZ, Benellii rifles and shotguns from CT. If you know anything about firearms you will recognize these brands.

Blasers cost about $5,000

CT's price for this specific rifle in Calgary is cheaper than Wholesale Outfitters, Russell Sports and ProLine - all specialized stores.

Actually it's a fun sport, but you get discouraged from "playing" with guns real early!

People say that about bowls, and tennis, and snooker and any number of other tedious things. I did try shooting once as a teen with a friend. I was pretty good at it, but it wasnt for me. You might feel the same way about golf or curling perhaps

Thanks, i sold them just before christmas along with a Logun S16s(scoped/bipod/laser) and have been bored since. Its also worth mentioning moderators/silencers are not allowed in Canada.
