out for an hour with the new scorpion se.

[paulk73 151]

well i went and picked up a scorpion se on sun afternoon, that had been blue printed by john bowket.

i was thinking of buying something different, but this little rifle came at a price that i couldnt refuse.

anyway i got home and put a scope on it and zeroed it up. i tried a good few pellets and luckily enough the favoured pellet was the same as the hw 100. ftts. so zeroed up, i found my first live quarry, a woody. a nice long range(well long for me) but clear shot. not a breath of wind. 1 woody in the bag, for 1 shot. then it was back home cos i was in a bit of a rush sunday..

then yesterday afterwork saw me plinking at targets, in the back garden. this little rifle was pellet on pellet. no mean feat because my garden is only 25 mtrs long, but i ended up shooting flies that where landing on the paper targets. lol i know im not the only person to do this but it is fun.

tonight i took my little plummer terrier for a walk down my local allotments where i have permission, and i brought the scorpion with me. we had a little walk round and saw a few woodies, but the shots wherent safe, so we left them. then i could hear a magpie cackling in a massive beech tree hopping about from branch to branch. i walked a little further on so the magpie was directly in front of the trunk, so i had a nice big back stop. i pinged it at 37 yrds, took the shot clean and the bird fell without a flutter. we sat and waited for a little while, and a woody made an apperance, that turned out to be its curtain call.

im very impressed with the accuracy of this rifle. in fact i love it. since sunday i havnt touched the 100.

and i think its a very worthy stable mate for the ks. im still going to get a rapid at xmas though, and put it through its paces. after all you cant have too many. lol

Nice read, I really like the look of the scorpion SE and when I shouldered a walnut stock version at a gun shop I was pleased with the weight and balance. I've heard from a few others they are accurate little rifles.

From what you tell me you got a superb deal there. Give me a bell if you get rid of either gun for the rapid!

Nice shooting.

What the hell Mike lol....you changed your pcp AGAIN lol

[Mawders 595]

He will never be happy mate, these pcp's he goes through he could just settle on a few decent springers and be happy! Ha ha. I'm taking him to rehab next week I'll let you all know how he gets on.

[milegajo 595]

Can't be arsed to pump em up....

[Mawders 595]

Can't be arsed to learn the marksmanship principles you mean and stick with springers! ;-)

[milegajo 595]

As you well know, none required for pcp. Good luck going back to springers. Tony wall can tune it, but he cant shoot it for ya!

[milegajo 595]

PCP - Point, Click, Pop.

[Mawders 595]

Or in your case, point, click, probably miss!

 

Nom Nom syrup. I've already proven my one handed pcp shooting technique, time to go back to a real mans air rifle.

[milegajo 595]

Miss! The cheek of it! The outrageous audacity of such a lie! Ask them rabbits and the headless pigeon...

[Mawders 595]

Ha ha what rabbits, we didn't get any, that crack you heard was the wire fence you tried shooting through and as for that pigeon you nailed him bear grills style with your hands not the rifle lol! GO reckon your next purchase should be his survival kit, you'll have everything you need!

[milegajo 595]

I am awesome....coulda caught him with my teeth!

 

 

Ahh I'm blushing now...
