zini 1,939 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hi lads, I took Dylan my son and Zin the Patterdale terrier out for a couple of hours with the R10. We wanted to try and get some more scope camera video footage for the new DVD. After a good walk around with the dog first to tire him out on another permission chasing bunnies etc, we went for a drive around looking for any legal air rifle quarry at my work location. It wasn’t long before we spotted a squizzer just chilling out on a fir tree branch without a care in the world until a FX 16 grain came whizzing towards its skull at 600 odd feet per second. (Bang) trophy number 1 in the bag. After that we concentrated on the woodies and doves on the permission accounting for two 30 metre woodies with heart shots and a cracker at 40 metres, and a 40 metre dove that was shot in between the shoulder blades to kill it before it hit the floor. All in all not a bad couple of hours sport. Zini Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks Davy and Tony Hi Shay, She is looking sweet pal. I zeroed her at 20 metres on Saturday when the lads were up and she was knocking plaster out of the wall (my back stop) at that range so she is just about ready to shoot some vermin on the permission buddy. I just need to get used to that trigger let off pal as she is very stiff compared to my HW100KT and R10. The gun was quite accurate though mate hitting a blue Volvic bottle top easily at 20 metres every shot which is about the size of a kill area, and this was done with a small 4x32 hawk scope which isn’t my usual magnification as you will know if you have read a few of my threads. I think a bit more range work and I will be out with her taking medium range vermin no problems pal. Si Quote Link to post

zini 1,939 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks lads I'm glad that you like the R10 lads. She is a lovely bit of kit and served me well since falling in love with her. I cant wait till it starts to warm up abit and the nights get lighter. Thats when the bunnies like to come out and play in the sun, chasing each other with not a care in the world I will defo be doing some of my favourite hunting then from a static location over a warren just waiting with the scope cam and sexy BSA.
