Fair.

Well here's to hoping you don't post anything about it then.

The firearm in question was not purchased from a member.
As I said, I am not yet regretting it but I may do if something is not resolved fairly.

might make a good tuna sinker in the hoki trench or find a convenient dredge pond and see if the thing makes a good submersible.

An 85 finlight. Nothing at all wrong with it but had no appeal, no character, and the tikka in the same cartridge shot just as well at less than the half the price. Carried it for a couple of deer then sold it to a mate. he loves it.

I just avoided buyers remorse at an auction earlier this week, got beaten into second place.

@P38 Will be here soon as hes off to the Florida gun show

Trust me. It will be one expensive tuna sinker.

Well that's just the thing. One of my mates used to let his daughter shoot with a 22 Hornet and killed plenty of deer. If that was me most of the deer would still be running

the hornet is a deadly little thing in the right hands

What about scopes....

vortex viper HS great build but less than average optics
vortex PST 4-16 couldnt see rabbits at 16x power I could see with my 8x binos
Bushnell Elite 4.5-30 dissapointing past 20x
Clearidge 4.5-22 better than the Bushnell...
Sighton S-Tac 4-20 should have known better at US $350
Meopta HTR 6.5-20 Well Meopta sure know how to f..k up one of the best scopes out there!
Zeiss Conquest HD5 5-25 HD yeah right...optics on par with the old MC but tunnel view, dumb zero stop, 5 oz heavier

The only one I'm happy with so far is my Conquest MC 6.5-20 with the No 20 reticle. But I have a second one with No 43 reticle that does not focus as sharply! and sent a third one back that also didnt focus properly and had a foreign object inside it!.

Probably going to regret the Nikon X1000 I have just ordered as well...when will I lean...never as you just have to take a punt because you cant trust anyone of the manufacturers to deliver what they promise and its almost impossible to actually go into a gunshop in NZ and try before you buy with optics.

Just buy the S&B shorty down the road and be done with it Grant

The only buyers remorse I have is not buying the ones I should of when I had the chance.

However I do have truck loads of sellers remorse


On a brighter note I had one of these turn up at my Hotel yesterday


The US Postal Service Rocks
Took two days from the time I ordered it to the time the front desk notified me I had a package arrive, came half way across the country too.

Cheers
Pete

So far no regrets with anything Nikon. Will be interested to hear how you go.

Redfeild on the other hand (a few years ago) absolute trash.

No regrets for me , but some for the guy who turned up yesterday with a semi auto, off trade me, would not cycle , just about dented the shell, wrong magazine ( it was filled to fit) apparently going back on trade me, so watch out for a tiger stripped.22 ( stripes burn,t in with a blow torch )
