    Absolutely fella, the best advice is to find a local club and get stuck in. Once you've a few goes under your belt you'll know what to work on.

    It's just the rules, spirit level O.K. for FT not for HFT. This may help.

    Nothing some Sparkies tape won't fix.

    Thumbs up EV2= Cracking Rifle!

    I had an EV2 last year-I had sold all of my rifles, then decided I fancied shooting a bit of HFT again. Mine was a MK2 Model. The rifle was certainly accurate, the trigger very predictable and the amount of adjustment to the stock made it a perfect fit.
    Fortunately, you can mount a scope fairly low down, I had a Burris 3-9 * 40 Fullfield 2 on low mounts, which with a 40 yd zero, gave me a very usable tradjectory.

    I sold mine when an oportunity to buy something a bit "special" came along, but I would certainly consider another, one day....

    Just a word of warning: they had issues with the reg leaking, mine went down after 500 pellets Air arms serviced the rifle and the reg for circa 120.00 pounds, which I thought was pretty reasonable-the rifle came back supremely consistent

    Give the Air-arms MPR ft a look-I think it is every bit as good as the EV2 for HFT
    Never go off half cocked....

    All lies matter
