Put Her To Work Jj

[bigmac 97kt 13,735]

Well me and viz went to the old perm ,got there just as it was turning dark

 

viz spotted a pigeon in one of the tree,s that had came in to roost and as my rifle was the only one zero,d i took it out with the Merlin ,,,,,sleep it went and down it came .

 

then we spent an hour with the farmer and her partner talking over old times and about her shot guns .

 

Sean had a glass of wine and me a can of coke and a jam doughnut lol

 

then we went into one of the barns and set about zeroing in his Photon xt witch did not go well

 

it was off to the right and low he could not get the cross hairs low enough to set it so he put a shim in it but then it was to high and over to the right so now needs to get some adjustable mounts ,

 

I put two mags through the daystate 177 out to 30 yrds and she was spot on only had her set at 18yrds before this but was well happy with how accurate this rifle is .

 

Only got the pigeon but im not bother,d im very impressed with this rifle and its her first kill

 

hope there are many more to come ,

I think you will do very well with the daystate mate; a nice stack ov lead mounted up under your target: stick with it.

New year news,- Great to hear you are bonding with the new rifle, the Merlyn. Mac.

 

Good on you mate,- enjoy !

Sounds like you have a good gun Mac You would be better of zeroing in at 35 yards IMO

[vizlauk 1,568]

It really is a nice bit of kit & accurate if he sells this 1 he may as well pack in altogether.

First of many I'm sure Mac.

Nice one Mac

 

I honestly do think that Daystate know how to make fantastic rifles - they just seem to have pushed things too far too soon in the last couple of years.

 

For me personally, I prefer their mechanical rifles.

 

Always nice to get the first kill with a rifle

[bigmac 97kt 13,735]

Thanks lads ,iv only jelled with one rifle since i sold the old raider and that is LITTLE HUNTERS hw100 carbine 177

 

and now this who would of thought i would fall for a bloody thumb hole rifle and 177 to boot lol

 

I held that rifle strait and true last night no cant what so ever (as i do cant most thumb hole rifles its my hands lol )

 

the pellet went through the bottom of its head and came out the top of its head one shot one kill

 

and another bit of meat for the freezer .

 

Iv had my orders not to let this one go lads

You're welcome mate

 

I was wondering, are you using the thumb hole or thumb up?

 

I won't be at the show mate - I've used up all of my holiday until April and, most of my days off at the moment are spent helping my parents out.
