ftm 3,357 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Took Craig's gun out this morning to 're zero as scopes had been took off other day . Didn't take very long and then I drove to a few feeders and spotted one at furthest feeder from me so crept along tree line and got to where I was confident of a shot . And just as I'm about to shoot a bloody cock pheasant flies up from god knows where and squirrel legs it.i walked to a small plantation and spotted several deer legging it in opposite direction and caught site of movement at base of a tree . Squirrels playing chasey around tree (pairing up) .lined one up and smack it curls up at base of tree and other just froze on side of tree . It soon joined it's mate on the floor as accupel walloped it in napper things went quiet so made way back to feeders and 2 feeding together .lined one up and hit it in heart lung area and it ran a few yds then stopped dead .. called it a day as rain started to get heavy 11 Quote Link to post

Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Top marks billy. Rapids are still one of my favourite air guns. Also the wtc Simmons, a great scope as well, got a 3.5-10x50 on one of my rimfires and it never shifts zero. 2 Quote Link to post
