Hopefully will be up by you in a day or so. Gota pick my 7mm Rem Mag up from Wilfs - Mansfield Guns - once I get my variation through. Disappointing thing is it's club night tonight and i wanted to zero it in, nxt club nights' not for 3-4 weeks so I gota wait til then even if I get it, unless i go down to Garlands.
Do you shoot locally - i've got to go to the Lowlands - so it's a long trip not done frequently enough

Morning jordang. Know Arnold very well. In Laws used to run on of the local pubs - why do you think i married the missus. Once she'd got me they retired - bugger 
Wilfs (Mansfield Guns) is ok. Not got many new guns in, but is good for picking up a second hand gun and various bits and bobs. What they havent got they'll order for you and they take their time to help you out. You really ought to have a look, you never know that rifle you've been looking for might be hiding somewhere in the shop - at least thats what i found each time i go - worse than a woman and shoes
If you dont know where it is let me know and i'll post address - oh and they only open Mon, Weds, Fri and Sat 9-6pm. And it's a bugger when you forget, turn up and the doors locked
Do you get to shoot whilst your working away - dont tell me you work on an Oil Rig .....laffin

Each to their own mate - i've dealt with Wilf mostly (hence Wilfs - rather than Mansfield Guns), but the time i dealt with John he was ok. Not sure i said it was sociable though - said it was ok. Best that jordang goes and makes his own mind up ? Personally i'm not keen on Nevilles or The Countryman - but thats just me and i can be a funny sod at times 
)- but would never tell anyone not to go to them.
Now if you want a really good gun shop that I can recommend 100% - Forest Lodge Guns (FLG) Lincoln. Excellent service, friendly and v v helpful. I was just contemplating reloading and they spent an hour running through things with me - even though they knew I wasnt going to buy. And a mate had a prob with some bino's, but wasnt sure where he had bought them from. He rang FLG up and said he thought he had bought them from them, but couldn't find the receipt. They said no problems, bring them down and we'll send them off for you. Turned out that he had bought them from FLG but they didnt know when he rang them - now thats what I call service ?

Hi,
You are about 5 miles away from one of the oldest rangers in the country, Epperstone Range.
We are going to have an open day soon, details will be posted on here.
However i will be working/zeroing on the range tomorrow, you are welcome to drop in if you wish, about 4pm.

Hi Trev.
Know it well. It's Andrew - Steve Lofthouses' mate. Shoot with Al and the Notts Target Rifle Club. Would love to come down if the invite is still open not withstanding i shoot there anyway. Steve and I got new toys on Friday and wouldnt mind zeroing them.
Jordang - it's 100, 200 and 500. But normally only 100 because any further back requires about 5 spotters on paths etc. So i suspect it'll be 100 today. As for restrictions it's best if Trev answers that catagorically, but my club shoots there and we use anything from .22 rims up to 7.92 WWII German mausers, so unless you've got some weird and wonderful elephant calibre I think you should be ok. If you come i should see you there -
Hopefully see you there Trev

Hello Andrew - sorry if I implied that I was coming over
Im back up in Nottm for a couple of weeks at the beginning of Aug so was checking for then!!
no mate you didnt imply, question was a bit tongue in cheek - should have done a smiley after it. No probs mate. I'll most likely be there - weather wife and whatever else with standing. Look forward to meeting up with you if you make it
Was there any other info you wanted on the range, or was what I provided sufficient for your needs ?
