Good day at the Game Fair Ragley Hall yesterday and I think my partner and I had the best of the predicted weather.
Highlights
Great to see the New Grenadier in the flesh it looks impressive, guy on the stand said they hope to be in full production next year and they would start around £45K they are going to “ partner” with someone regarding servicing and spares, be interesting to see who that is
Gunmakers row was good, lots of shotgun makers including some top end Holland and Holland, Longthorne, Boss, also Rigby with a big stand
Pulsar with a big stand and lots of stuff to physically look through, their new series 2 top end scopes are astonishing in detail compared with my XQ38F spotter
A few car and 4X4 displays including 2 Ford 150 pick ups in full off road mode with about 3 ft of ground clearance !!
Lots of gadget guys s usual and a few small bespoke knife makers
Food choice was excellent as were the bars dotted around
Disappointing
No top end Glass guys there, Swaro, Zeiss, S&B NF nor much mid range stuff
Not many rifle manufacturers showing, GMK not there so nothing they import
Overall Good day stayed till gone 6 to let traffic go and easy journey back
