Alex97 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Just did some targets for the first time in about 18 months, I justed used some water filled bottles as targets. My grouping wasn't to bad but my sight is out a little so for about 75ft I was dropping around 3cm. The reason that I got it out was because I saw a rat in the garden, by the time I'd found all my stuff he'd gone just I just stuck with target's. I now fancy getting a pistol just for targets and pest control, any suggestions? I don't wanna go to wild BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Here mine, not been out for a year or two, used to go to a local range quite regular. Then my son was born! Rifle is a BSA Hornet springer Pistol is a CO2 one, can't remember the manufacturer off the top of my head. Had it for over 10 years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited August 29, 2015 by Stealth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prussian.guard Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 An fac is easy to get hold of.you have to belong to a gun club though as there is no other reason to own one.you can go shooting rabbits but you will need the landowner to give you written permission.its about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Went to the range earlier and I'm very happy with the 97. Here's a group of about 15 to 20 pellets at 25 yards Not bad for a new springer thats only had 100 or so pellets through it.

Rover Man Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Will take a good 500 to bed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yeah it'll take a good few hundred pellets for it bed in but I'm surprised at how accurate it is at the moment. I'm really happy with it and looking forward to see what it can really do ...or at least the best I can shoot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatts Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 This is mainly why I don't do much RC anymore, since buying a DT10 I spend way too much a week on clays.Sold off most of my rifles this year, my tuned HW100KS is that good I never bothered with the others. It's near pellet on pellet at 60 yards in the garden (light breeze). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must see if I can have a go with a hw100 at the range to see what they're all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I found mine too clinical. Great rifle just not my cup of tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 It's very unlikely that I'll get one as I think from now on I'll probably stick with my 97 for a long time as I think I prefer springers to pcps. Pcps have their place but as you say they're very clinical and a bit boring to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pcps have their place but as you say they're very clinical and a bit boring to be honest.It depends what you're doing with it, if it's plinking for fun then it can be a tad boring unless like me you put up targets 70 to 100 yards away. If you're hunting then it's the perfect tool for the job. I bought 3 rough HW100's a few months ago and tuned them all, I enjoyed it so much I'm always looking for other similar ones just for fun. Turning a HW100T from a shotgun over the limit with 35 shots a charge to a deadly accurate rifle with 140 shot capacity is very rewarding (but very time consuming). The one I kept is the most accurate gun I've ever used in the last 20 years and I buy / sell them on a monthly basis.I got my SGC 2 years ago now and spend most of my time & money on that now.

Tamiyacowboy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 daystates n theo's are like so lush as a weapon, but again its all about the projectile , if its cheap its gonna open up in the barrel and flatten the nose out a bit. a good decent round the skirt will inflate and the dome tip will keep its shape, you pay good money for good lead. glad i dont own weapons no more just to much hassle , was never like this when i was a lad shooting 30 yr ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBSTER 1992 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 This is 14 shots @ 60yards in the garden That's some great grouping. The 50p is covering he's other shot holes on the target tell the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I had a mad moment and bought a ticket for this the other week http://www.bracesofbristol.com/uac/. It should be a lot of fun though I'm not expecting to win (if I'm honest I'm half expecting to be the only one daft enough to turn up with a springer lol) so my only goal is not to come last. Which is going to be a tall order since if only shot up to 45yrds so 60 is going to be a real challenge. Though I think my scope will be up for the job http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/supersavage35/DSC_0119_zpsuki2ctqu.jpg[/IMG] Sorry for the bad pic. It's a Hawke Airmax 30 SF 8-32x50 AMX IR. However I've got my fingers crossed to perhaps win one of the raffle prizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daymo Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Here is my BSA R10 had the barrel shortened & a Tench regulator fitted had it for about 5/6 years not been shooting much over the last few years but I have done quite a bit of pest control for a friend on their small holding 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I dropped a bird with a .22 from around 100m or alittle more it was absolutely crazy. I was only joking around like watch this. Didn't even rest the barrel and I doubt 15yr olds set the scope very well. It was either my biggest fluke ever or it had an heart attack afew seconds after I fired. There's a gun club near me in uttoxeter I'm sure real guns are allowed ther upto a .308 rifle I was gobsmacked that would be amazing. I don't understand the rules tho and I think becoming a member isn't that easy either. Something like 10 places a year if that. So average Joe probably doesn't have a chance. There's a pellet gun place in Cheadle I think or around there I'm hoping to go soon to play on ther quad bikes 5mile course but £70 per hour £10ph to go shooting or archery. I want to go there for my birthday I think mayb ask about a bumper pack 2hr quads 1hr shooting mayb a go in the land rover or go karts.

RCbutcher Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 My mate has a remington nice looking rifle like a dark black carbon look to it with scope and silencer. I think I could get it off him if I tried. Are they considerd to be good? I thought remington was a propper gun maker so think it will be a good one. It's modern too very nice. Co2 i think. But i couldn't see a canister on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
