Sorry to see you selling up Peter and yes do keep the ED80 and thanks for the help you have given me and no doubt countless others with your generosity.

Hi did say 'cheap' hobby
Whether you go for target rifle, or the new boy 'F class' (scopes and sandbags), you need a rifle that can group around the 0.5 minute of angle mark. These don't come cheap!
If you really want to start throwing money away - get into bench-rest. Many of the top competitors machine their own projectiles...
Barrels wear out, scopes break, And then you're throwing an awful lot of copper and lead away, as well as buring up expensive powder. You also have to travel for competition.
Sorry to see you abandon the hobby - kids and moving closer to the centre of town kindled my interest in H-alpha solar observing, and the moon is still a pretty interesting thing to look at. Deep sky stuff can wait for the new moon weekends, it aint going anywhere.
cheers - you'll be back....
Andrew.
