    Wash your mouth out young fella me lad, just because you can't see quality when it is in front of you...

    Hooray !

    Gun zero'd in a springy jerkish kinda way , zero equates to a 10 inch spread at 10 yards I think ???

    I will have to get away asap after the shoot though as I have to get back and help out at my own club ( whichever one that is this week ) lol

    Until sunday then fellow t w a n k e r s

    Sounds good Dave...we set out before we shoot!..at about 9am

    Just lost my excuse for shooting badly....then gained another!!
    My rifle is not running at 8.5ftlb anymore.....It is running legal now...though a bit twangy!
    I found an old spring i bought off of here, it was about 2" shorter but a heavier gauge (looked new).
    I pre-loaded it with two washers (guesstimate) put it in and 790ftps with 8.4's...gotta keep an eye on it, i shall take the washers out first chance i get!!
    Seems harder to shoot now though! Jumps around like a pair of puppies in a sling!..The bold is my excuse!

    will have a zero tomorrow and 'feel the worth'..Ok what!

    A happy FRIDAY Spongey!

    You just don't know what i have been through this week!...other wise even YOU would be sympathetic!
    Nearly missed out on Sunday!...The Pinnacle of my shooting career...Forget Kelmarsh..That was a warm up...(Not a very good one on my part either!)

    Swine!!...

    One thing that never happened...is...I never forgot to remove the trigger bolt housing......that would have been really really silly!!
    I can rebuild a record trigger now though!...(i know Splut hasn't!!)
