Today we went to Bisley...
...not to shoot, to meet up with two forum members, R.G.C and Fred.
I was anticipating a nightmare of a drive to Bisley from home which is inbetween Bedford and Milton Keynes however it was not that bad, a few parked moments in the morning going there and straight home in the afternoon. First recognisable person we bumped into was Duff Eyed Doyle, good to see you again, hope the shooting went well.
We had been given the name of the lodge where they are staying and after having asked Chris in the Range Office (Heather's Chris) for directions off we went and promptly got lost. Then even more lost. Ended up down at the bottom, next to where the military is shooting. After having asked a very nice guy on a buggy for directions he decided to take us there, very likely based on the totally lost and bewildered expressions on our faces. Without SatNav...
We got there, knocked on the door and met R.G.C and Fred for the first time, R.G.C's daughter joined us later and we spent the entire morning chatting and then out to get some lunch and then back for coffee. Excellent to meet up! Yes, it was all about INCH, Millennium, shooting, sights and the most amazing rifle I have seen in a long time. Fred's rifle is a work of art if you ask me. Of course it has an INCH action
R.G.C, thank you for your hospitality, Fred thank you for putting up with us who know no French and thank you to R.G.C's daughter for inviting me to go shopping at Evans :lol:

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Iain said he saw you - he wasn't the guy on the buggy was he?

We saw Iain outside HPS and he was on a buggy however it was another person on a buggy that very kindly took us to our final destination. I did recognise him but the name evades me.

Re: Today we went to Bisley...
Ah, forgot to mention Iain!
That was after we met Duff Eyed Doyle, and before the nice man on the buggy.
I completely forgot we stopped at the HPS shop, I think I forgot because I did not go in. Ovenpaa went and spanked his card and I waited in the car trying to get my breath back from the drive down, that bloody traffic. Oh, and I checked in on the forum.
That is when we met Iain, he came in a buggy as well

Your rifle looks good, I assume an offer of 50Euros is not going to be accepted? :lol:
I have just added this to the Vikings bipod and it seems to work very well, it makes setting the bipod to level so much easier.
