We had a super time. Bumped into a few good people. Bought a new rifle bag and held my wallet very firmly at the Accuracy International stand.

By the way.. The dude in the last pic had the best tactical beard of the day. Fact!

Yes they were phone pics unfortunately. Apologies to all the photography nerds if it hurts their eyes too much..

Lol! I don't mind phone pics, that's all I take. I just hate instagram filters :-P
Can you elaborate on the pics, if you can remember the details ;-)

No worries!
First shot was of a collection of Winchesters owned by one guy! He didn't seem to be selling anything, just sitting back looking chuffed.. As he should be!
The Blazer rifle stand... Just because they look amazing.. Never had the pleasure of shooting one but I would like to!

The next is the Desert Tactical stand. This is the second time I got to paw one of these SRS bullpups. They have interchangeable barrels and are supposed to be highly accurate and very robust. They certainly feel robust! I'm a left hander and currently the bolt is in a terrible position for me as is the ejector. However Desert Tactical told me that a left hand model will be available around November at around the same (hefty) price.

We then have the Accuracy International stand. I love and want the AX but a big crowd was gathered on the other side of the booth checking out the AT (I think that's what its called). A compact looking AX type affair. Not sure on the details or price point on the new one as they were waaay busy!

Next was a collection of various military rifles through the ages. I forgot my glasses so I was clueless to most of them..

Me posing with some awesome quad/tank thingy! I want one!

A selection of old shotgun cartridges. I'm clueless on ancient shotguns, I just liked the pwetty colours..

A huge Barrett rifle being guarded by a tactical beard. Enough said..

Great pictures Paul, thank you for posting them.

BTW, you really need to take that coat hanger out of your jacket before you put it on :good:
