Having used the newly acquired gun in the field for the first time last evening, I have to report that it was a pleasure to use.
Following a zero check, the gun and I spent a few pleasant hours hunting some of my local bunnies. The balance and light weight is reminiscent of a HW95 but she seems to possess even better handling qualities due to its general portability and the ease upon which the gun comes to shoulder. I have fitted a trigger shoe which has helped to improve the trigger feel no end. Much more predicatable, but still not in "Record" territory.
As those of you with experience of the 124 will know,the gun is a flighty beast that requires, for me, a very relaxed stock holding technique to get the most out of her. However, once that has been acknowledged and allowed for, the gun shoots beautifully with tight groups (half inch ish) out to a ranged 37 yards with Falcon Accuracy Plus lightweights (7.3)
Do you know what, I cant even remember when I last took out my PCP multi!
