May I ('umbly) remind you that you are preaching to the High Priest of airgunning. ;) :mrgreen: In my dreams. :roll:

Oh yes, I do love my airguns.

Look forward to the snaps of you chaps at the range.

This was one lovely piece of rifle actually, beautiful stock and metal work. Got over my envy by shooting lotsa groups...actually good shoot four into the same hole almost offhand. The weight really helps in shooting and fabulous to use. The Doc and I almost didn't let Abhijeet take it back ;-).

Nice to see the airgun cult gaining. Now, lets see if we can get one for the Doc.

Regards,

Dev

Yes, I had brought back a scope as hand-baggage but that was in 1995 but did caution you against doing so now.
Yep, you did tell me... but I'd called up Virgin and asked if carrying a telescope on board is OK and they said yes! Unfortunately that cut no ice with the security folk... :P All they had to say was "a rifle scope is NOT JUST any telescope"... and that was that, impossible to argue with them...
