I've visited Bisley, but personally I like the Swiss model.
Me, too. That's why I go to Thun and not to Bisley.

If you guys can give me some kind of promise that you won't p*ss all over me [again], you might find something interesting to read right here -

Yours for only $4600.00, too!
That's here, of course, you guys likely get it for a couple of hundred bucks with a scope and bipod thrown in to sweeten the deal, right?

The 5.56 upper here is ~$1000

The rifle is ~$2000 for the 308
Its probably illegal to buy and ship you a rifle right?
You have them. We all do.
It's sad only Americans are seen to have them.
Tac, have you seen any lever action AR's like this one in the UK? Im curious to how they are to shoot

I shall endeavor to control any disappointment I might find. ;-)
I am German Irish Norwegian and English. My wife is from NZ and is English and Scottish. Together we're pure American.
I am aware of the shooting sports in the UK and Ireland. I know that for sporting there is a lot more possibility to own things. My best friend and father go over every year for wood pigeon. Their guide is from H&H. He comes over every year to service their shotguns.
Why?
You can have the real thing.

Exactly.....WHY? Other than to make some sort of rifle that is politically correct, especially the UK, that falls outside of the political definition of "assault rifle". IMO, it totally defeats the entire concept of a semi automatic rifle. There is no advantage of making a bolt action out of a semi auto. In all honesty. In a defense situation, that is entirely too slow.
Yes its a crippled firearm, but it is also a novelty and an interest from a engineering point of view. I can only buy so many regular AR15's before getting bored of them. I have several guns set up for home defense in quick access safes and my carry guns. They rest are just curios
Like tits on a bull. I don't see the purpose and I'm not anxious to get my hands on one.I'm sorry to admit that I don't see the point of having a manually-operated version of a semi-automatic firearm if it is not a requirement in law. It's an interesting concept, but to me, living in a country where it's more-or-less 'straight-pull' or nothing, it is self-defeating exercise in the extreme.
I guess that living in the USA, where anybody can just buy the bits and build a gun - like a Lego set - it's great fun, but for me, at least, it pretty much a bitter sweet thing. I guess also that I'm being childish in a dog-in-the-manger-y way - you are doing for fun something that is illegal for us here to do, just for giggles.
Sorry to rain on your parade and all that.
