    Looking for a no frills, freehand, minimum prep solution to the challenge with a totally bog-standard set-up; I decided to use the zoom on the scope to fix my zero at the intersection of the vertical cross-hair post with the scope's bottom margin... unfortunately this resulted in a mag of only x4 or so to shoot with.

    Now I usually prefer a malt whisky but at 206 yards and x4 that bright white tin stood out a treat against the red paint on the old barn...

    I too recently have been keen to try long range shooting with my new rifle, HW77 .177. I can consistently drop cans at 65 yds but my goal is (weather and time permitting) to do 100+ yds. I'll start a new thread the day I do it with photos and details.

    Your all right, it's so very addictive.

    With my eyes and aged frame, I am lucky to hit a target at 25 yds with any consistency using my springer 😂
    But I still love the sport!
