What would be the grounds?
A personal opinion?

Hmm....

Jumping over to GOM...crikey...the amount of personal opinions about various issues, loads of law suits there is one was so inclined.
On that note why cant the "Scotsgun ruling" be relaxed to something along the lines of "all posts must be started with IN MY PERSONAL OPINION......" this would give people an avenue to post a details of deal that went bad, the current ruling leaves things very grey in my opinion :roll:

That way as said above what grounds could they sue over ...A personal opinion?

CK :?

That will not stop one from being sued, CK...popular myth.

The Scotsgun rule is quite clear and apt, a lot of effort, experience and learned opinion was taken into account in its formation.

I heard today that RPA went bust on Thursday (or some day this week). Thats not official but someone who seemed to know the business.

As much as I am not a fan of the company I am sad to hear that they may have gone bust.
Britain is struggling enough as it is and one less rifle making company will affect the shooting community.

Bad news if its true. Bad news for us when any shooting related business goes under - we're already a small market.

There are many who swear by their products and there are some who swear at them (me included). Based on personal experience; not rumours.

I wouldn't wish 'going bust' on any legitimate business. So many families are suffering at present.

Now aware of any going, Vince maybe?

All this talk of RPA reminded me that I have an as new RPA Tracker rear sight sitting in a box doing nothing. I really should try and find it a new home. Anyone know what it would be worth to a forum member? ;)
