Went with quite a bang. Scopes are fine but the shelf is knackered. Whoops. Fortunately it only had bin bags full of duvets under it so a nice soft landing although someone's going to get splinters in their arse when they dig that out this winter :-DD

What, I really have difficulty in picturing you putting those D83's on a simple shelf :palm:, good job nobody was sitting below the shelf or we might have been trying to get you bailed out from the local nick.

I can't decide whether to be an old punk or a young geezer... I certainly am much too young to feel this old, but being a geezer does come with the advantage of comfortable pants, and being able to wear them (or not) any way I damn well choose. :-DD

My bad that one. It was a very over engineered shelf. However there was a great big crack on the arse of one of the slats I didn't notice. That snapped and then cascaded. It had something to bear load across it before in the form of boxes but the scopes were sitting on the shelf with about 10Kg of boxes on top.
When I put that shelf in it took my weight of 85Kg quite happily.
Inspected scopes. Literally nothing on them at all apart from a scrape down the rear of the dead one! Things are like tanks. Phew!

So the power/weight ratio is just not there, eh? :-DD

Going to B&Q. I have been instructed to build a new shelf :(

Was this actual instruction, or are you listening to your "inner SWMBO" and acting to preempt that whole "thermonuclear stare" scenario? :o
