Oh yes. I know how you feel, especially if you travel a long way. I’m already in Europe and go to the UK to shoot, so it’s simply taking a day off shooting and driving to Norfolk. The other side of it is what I did a couple auctions ago. I looked at the guns prior, then decided to bid online the day of the auction while out shooting clays. As you can guess, I got distracted and missed two great opportunities. The very last sidelock was a Rigby “B” grade with a rising bite. It had gone for £4200 in the previous auction and I guess was never paid. It was a beautiful gun. It went for £1K! I pulled up the auction just as it was going, going, gone! I couldn’t click bid fast enough and someone else got an amazing deal. And that’s auctions. ��
