Heading to the UK

Peterla · Post by **Peterla** » Tue Dec 03, 2019 8:31 am

Hi All,
I am heading to the UK next year for a competition F-class shoot.
I get 30 Kgs for my luggage I can use but as I shoot FO I use all of this with my rest and rifle.
The extra baggage is $60 per Kg so I thought of posting my SEB over.
I then find out I have to pay all sorts of UK tax even though it's for me and I will be posting it back. !!!!!

How have other FO shooters gone when traveling to the UK with all their gear?
Did you find a better option to get all your gear over there?

You could buy one over there and sell it when you’re done or see if you can borrow one?
Sounds like a great trip

Hi Tim
I would bu one and resell it but none over there similar to our situation here
I do not know many people over there and would love to borrow or even hire one but with not many contacts that is hard.
I will see if anyone has any other ideas or even know someone that could help me

Get in contact with Mik @ Dolphin gunworks, if he can't help you I'm sure he'll be able to point you in the right direction.

+1 - I run a Dolphin co-axial rest and IMO it's superior to Farley and SEB, buy one and bring it back with you!

Can you get your hands on a Seb mini Pete ?
They are light, and give nothing away to the Neo if you spend the time, setting it up on the mound.
And I had mine on carry on luggage on the way back from Canada, just took the feet off it and it was a camera tripod.

That will free up a lot of weight for the rest of your gear.

Hi Julian.
Great idea. I got a nice email last night from someone in the UK that is lending me a SEB neo so that put a huge smile on my face.
I just need to take my top bag as I do not want to upset his top bag with my scolloped stock.

Awesome Pete, there are plenty of good people out there willing to help.
And good luck shooting the comp, you will do really well mate.
