mark williams 7,549 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Bought Jimmy`s old HW 77 .177 cal, and she arrived today. Very well packed Jimmy . Well, set her up, plumb lined and leveled the old Hawke scope i have spare, ( just to start her off with) . Then onto the range in my garden 38 yds zero. Didn`t take long to achieve 1st zero. Lovely, silky smooth action with the Sandwell Field Sports tune. She`s looking a great addition. Beautiful classic hunter. atb Mark. 7 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,549 Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Put some different pellets to normal to test with the 77 lads. The H&N Field Target Trophy faired very well. Practice, practice, practice ,gradually getting to know her. 1 Quote Link to post

david jones 97 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Sorry No, doubt if it was this exact same gun Big Mac. The one I parted with went to a fella who if I remember correctly, was part or a member of Bisley Gun Club, or something at the time. All I know now thinking back was, he was a bloody good sales man at the time, as I parted with a bit of class. And I didn't know it being to young at the time ha ha. 1 Quote Link to post
