Well the Dr said I can't drink any hincohol on my meds so I thought I'd spend this weeks beer money (as if ) on a cheer me up.
Funny as I decided only the other week that the ultra is a bit too nice to use as a night time ratter, all that bumbling about in the dark is nerve racking with a nice gun. Did have a look for an BSA R10 in a black stock but even 2nd hand they are not cheap..
Then looked at Walther RM8 again in black which is more affordable.
Called into my local rfd and he had an RM8, but in .22 and I fancied a .177 cus range estimation is harder in the dark and I keep finding new places to hunt rats from.
So, I explained what I was after and a glint appeared in the wee fellas eye.
"Have a butchers" and he pops the hard case onto the counter.
"This is my last one of these for now, and I'll do you a deal"
"Wow, that's a bit tickytackle init"?
"Well, you wanted a black gun"
So, I give you the Reminex Ixia. Bit of a departure for me, but what life without a little whimsy.
I'll put the 6x50 photon on it and the ir torch will go on the picatinny rail just in front of the trigger.
Really need to get the dive bottle tested and filled with all these pcp's about the place..
