I took the camera with me today to the 50 metre range!

Some shots of the rifle:-

Accuracy at 50metres, well to be honest I wasn't impressed. I don't think this is the barrel or the ammunition but due to me and the trigger. It is far far too heavy to get really accurate results but would be fine for hunting. My best group (5 shots) below.

What was baffling and I put down to how I was pulling the trigger was this...
Both of these targets have 5 shots in them and were shot immediately after each other... both with the same aiming point and no fiddling with the scope!

Thought I'd just update the thread.

I've now had the trigger worked on by the local gunsmith and well, its a different rifle! She is now brilliant. Best £20 I've spent in ages.

He had to replace the trigger spring, the factory one was "very heavy" in his words.

The trigger pull is now approx 14oz: She will not fire with a 12oz weight but will with 1lb weight.

Ta Joffy, certainly is.

I was shooting some Eley Team today at 100 metres in windy conditions today and thought I'd update this review with an accuracy example.

There are 10 shots in this target, 1 group of 5 shots (single hole), 1 group of 3 shots and 2 shots that I pulled.

I was very very impressed considering this is 100 metres!
