Modern and Classic spring rifle training.

[mark williams 7,549]

Very enjoyable paperwork session this afternoon, thoroughly enjoying the spring rifles this last few months.

               Primos sticks, two point gun rest, 38 yards.

               Drawing pin head target.

Your 22 loves those Faps pal??

The vermin don`t like `em Matt 

                I`ve learned a very sneaky lesson with the FAP`s too mate . 

                I had no other .22`s pellets when I got the FWB 127 and initial tests showed they were not compatible .

                Now after  50 shots after a clean barrel they were so, so.

                After 200 shots they were 2p piece groups.

                500 shots up until today that 127 is in a league of it`s own - drawing pin head groups all the time.

                Had I just gone off a 20 or 30 pellet test pack I`d never have known.

                The 127 has had a good few thousand rounds now and very well bedded and leaded in

Goes to show that time can be a game changer with pellets.

All the very best for you and yours Mark

Just shows what the old girl can do. Super group from the 127 Mark but what have you run through the 124

Do you remember Davy saying to Mitch was it ? 

                       Give it time to learn it`s character and way it shoots when talking about buying a .177 HW 95 whilst already owning a .22 HW 95 ( forgive me if I`m wrong Mitch) ?

                       I have three spring rifles Phil and two PCP`s and the second you put one down for a week or two you need a session or two to bring her back.

                       It is a drawing pin at 38 yds not a 5p piece but there you go.

                       Here`s the 124 when I was shooting "just her"  8 shots under a 5p piece at 38 yds.

                       Says a lot the old game keepers saying to me as a lad 

                        Aye lad, fear only " one man with one rifle"

 

If this rain stops today I`m on my garden range again.

                      I`m sure though Phil, if shot off a bench and bags those groups would tighten up a little more rather than the Primos but I always practice for the field.

nice going mate

[philpot 4,925]

It would make little difference shooting off a bench rest to me Mark, they would still be all over the place. I simply do not have the patience to keep working with springers, a tuned version is something else however.

I see your point regarding picking up another springer and have to get used to it all over again.
