Triumphs again, a crow and a woodie in a new wood!

 

Only waited for twenty years for this small spruce plantation with a few mature oaks towering above (read sittie trees!) to mature enough to cut a path through!

 

Air gun heaven, well any gun really but is nice with an air gun.

Not much wrong with those 900`s U.

 

 

 

Well done mate

 

What calibre is it U and try a scope on her in that spindle maybe ?

Tis a 22 Mark.

 

Scope, but I like opens.

 

 

Will one day, in a moment of weakness maybe :-).

Open sights are a very satisfying way to shoot when you make a good shot.

 

I used to have an SMK XS501. That was a single shot co2 in .22. It was very light and pointable.

Was it reliable that 501 mate?

Well, it held Co2 ok and, it was accurate with Daystate Sovereigns but, I think that whatever mechanism released the Co2 behind the pellet may have been faulty. Occasionally it seemed to release an odd shot with a lot more power.

The rifle its self never felt any different but, I could certainly hear the difference when one of those shots hit a target.

Also, I once took it out to get some pigeons. It performed really well. Then, I went for a chest shot at around 25rds - it put the pellet right through the pigeon. I saw the feathers burst away behind it.

 

I tried to catch it misbehaving over a Combro a few times but, typically, it never did.

 

As far as price vs performance, I probably enjoyed using that more than my old Airwolf.

I enjoy my xs78 and I am familiar with the workings of them and believe the 501 is the same, except the trans port.

Fancy one :-).

Cheers.

Nice shooting U.

Your certainly fetching them out of the trees with the smk pal and I'm hearing good reports from people that have them too??

[Underdog 2,337]

Cheers mate

The only thing using the opens is the stock is to crowded. Set up for a scope really.

I like a rifle to slide to the shoulder sigts all ready lined up so I have been shaping the cheek piece.

 

Other wise shots are lost fumbling for the sights!
