Just been going through my springer collection and I reckon there are only two guns I've got that would be any use at long range. One is a Fenman which is currently at Theoben so is not much use and the other is my .22 MkII TX200 which is needing a service, so again not much use. I'll try and get one of them sorted and give it a go as it would be interesting so see what I could get with something that liked to move around, just need some time to sort out things.

Jim looking at the second group I'd say that was mostly down to the magnification being too low, as I think for long range shooting you really need somewhere between 10x and 20x. With more than 20x you can get loss of light and a potential over amplification of your shakes, mind you when I shot FT I never changed my mag from 40x or 32x (depending on the scope I was using either Tasco or Burris) so higher mag might work for you but you will contend with more problems caused by it, less than 10x and you are contending with potentially thick crosshairs and pinhead sized aiming marks.
