Interesting... "The magnum 240 has become a true collectible and is getting very difficult to find now in excellent condition"

I think mine is still wrapped in an oily rag in the loft somewhere, guess I'll hang onto it for another decade before cashing it in then!

Looks a nice gun, bit of a pig to shoot accurately by the sound of it.

If it wasn't getting dark, I'd go and have a few shots, got the urge now. maybe tomorrow.

It was a bit, the barrel was solidly mounted to the bottom half of the gun but the sight rail was part of the top half, the hinged cocking mechanism - so when locked back down was never quite in the same place in relation to the barrel every time due to a little left/right slack on the hinge/locking mechanism.

Trawling rifle and pistol websites now. Big money on some of them. Should look after mine better.

Well, i've got onto reading about shooting bunnys, when I hear the distinctive squeal of a bunny in danger outside my window. Take a look out, and two of the cats have got a baby bunny under attack. Quite funny how the cats snarl and growl at each other, till the bunny moves a whisker, then jump on it. Just as one is about to try and kill it, the other cat will spag it across the head.
The four cats have probably 100 plus acres to hunt on, numerous bunnys, and they still end up arguing over the same one.
The evil creatures will torture the bunny all night, I might go out and shoot it in a bit, it's doing my head in. I've shouted, bellowed and kicked at the cats, they just look at me like I'm off my head. There is no way I'm picking up the flea riddled bunny and taking it indoors.


Oh well, the dominant male has turned up, given the other two cats a good hiding, and is now sat under the caravan, growling like a tiger, chewing happily on the bunny.

Some moneys worth there. Is that an infra red torch on the top of the scope?

Nice scope on it too! Looks like a high powered torch on top rather than a laser.
