sdh555 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 My names Pete and I live in Nottinghamshire, been shooting 30 odd years but never bothered to join a forum before. Don't do any kind of target shooting accept for back garden practice if that counts. After having many kind of guns in the picture are the two I seemed to have settled on. The top one is a Career 707 mk 3 in .25 calibre and the other is a BSA Mercury S in .22. Both are working guns, the 707 is the more serious piece of kit and mainly used on the bunny population and instant drops can be had out to 60+ yards. The Mercury dates back to the eighties and has seen a lot of work been rebuilt several times over the years I use this gun for rats mainly at close quarters 15 - 25 yards although it has had its fair share of rabbits but is pretty much out of killing steam at 40 yard, at one point contemplated putting it on my FAC and went all out for max tune but the best I ever managed was 13.2 but made the gun way to erratic so she is settled now at 11 - 11.5 and running as well if not better than the day it left the factory, the other upside is its ideal for garden practice as the 707 is way to much. The only gun I regret parting with was a HW80 on FAC and running about 18 that was an excellent bit of kit have missed it from the day I sold it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
