Mind Masher

[si brown 8,486]

mark asked me a few weeks back about the pros and cons of the 97's and the prosport as he was or is interested

in treating him self!

well I finished work early cos we ran out of blocks so I had an hour with the ps,

after this I was fcuking fuming... I felt like smashing it up!

so after picking my lad up from school id chilled out and had another go

I didn't keep count of how many shots id put into that group but it was a lot, they were just hitting the mark so I carried on!

then I thought about what mark had said and decided to see how the 97's measured up to it

the .177 97 was out so I tweaked the scope and started another group that was going well, same thing just hitting the mark!

then I gets a phone call informing me of a kids party tomorrow bloody miles away then the grouping turned to sh1t

 

had a smoke and a brew.. chilled back out and set to it with the old .22 97 using .53's that Rez recommended

 

these are all at least 15 in each group

top left ps using jsb heavy

bottom left .177 97 jsb heavy

bottom right .22 97 h&n ftt .53's

and my conclusion is I don't have a fcuking clue!

the ps turned out the best group but look at the state of round one... if you put it on a cushion and don't hold the fore end it'll print a one hole group, just not in my hands though!!

the 177 97 was turning out a better one and is way more forgiving until some one gets on your tits!

and the .22 79 shows up as the worse but it handles and shoots better than the other two put together, I couldn't be bothered taking the

sling off and that was the cause of the pap group!!

 

hope this helped mark!!

im off to smoke some crack now

You have proved a good point Si - with spring rifles, if you don`t build your shot correctly, you miss, if you don`t concentrate on what your doing, you miss.

 

Remember that practice session I did with the TX a week or so ago ?

 

 

One of the lads said, what`s up, did you have a lapse in concentration ?

 

I replied that I had,- then had a brew and went again with the old girl, the FWB Sport 124 (.177 cal)

 

 

Had another zero check last night on the TX and she was striking a match at a 38 yd zero, here`s the result from a 41 yd free standing shot.

 

 

 

 

 

Your shooting ended up top class in the end Si`

 

 

Compliments to you.

maybe just a little

I swear you need massive hands to be able to shoot it properly!

I've not got fairy mitts but that stocks broader than your Geordie accent

cheers mark

 

it docent look like it but that ps is a head wrecker.... for me any way!

I can go out with it and miss everything by a country mile or its lights out the next day!

I have to go against how I've always shot and grip the sh1t out of it to get good groups....

it will probably be ace over a primos cos if I remove all human contact from the front its laser accurate, its got next to no recoil now and is so

quiet its shocking!

I've thought about butchering some of the under stock, cos theres no doubt its good !

just got to get it to fit right!

That's just feckin typical - I hate it when that happens

..... I've tried to shoot when I've been distracted and, just couldn't hit a thing.

 

But, there's nothing more satisfying than a good springer session when you're on form

 

Those second groups are shit hot mate - I'd be well happy with those.

 

Nice rifles - that .22 97 is very nice to shoot

haha...cheers jon

 

the ps kicks my arse if I'm not on form...

think the .22 hits the mark out of sympathy, I can go weeks without shooting it and its like meeting up with an old friend

 

hows the tx coming on?!

off back to finish that garden wall tomorrow so I'm gonna take the .22 with me

mark asked me a few weeks back about the pros and cons of the 97's and the prosport as he was or is interested

in treating him self!

well I finished work early cos we ran out of blocks so I had an hour with the ps,

after this I was fcuking fuming... I felt like smashing it up!

IMG_1956.JPG

so after picking my lad up from school id chilled out and had another go

I didn't keep count of how many shots id put into that group but it was a lot, they were just hitting the mark so I carried on!

then I thought about what mark had said and decided to see how the 97's measured up to it

the .177 97 was out so I tweaked the scope and started another group that was going well, same thing just hitting the mark!

then I gets a phone call informing me of a kids party tomorrow bloody miles away then the grouping turned to sh1t

 

had a smoke and a brew.. chilled back out and set to it with the old .22 97 using .53's that Rez recommended

 

these are all at least 15 in each group

fullsizeoutput_238.jpeg

top left ps using jsb heavy

bottom left .177 97 jsb heavy

bottom right .22 97 h&n ftt .53's

fullsizeoutput_235.jpeg

and my conclusion is I don't have a fcuking clue!

the ps turned out the best group but look at the state of round one... if you put it on a cushion and don't hold the fore end it'll print a one hole group, just not in my hands though!!

the 177 97 was turning out a better one and is way more forgiving until some one gets on your tits!

and the .22 79 shows up as the worse but it handles and shoots better than the other two put together, I couldn't be bothered taking the

sling off and that was the cause of the pap group!!

 

hope this helped mark!!

im off to smoke some crack now
