    More likely will never be seen again, particularly after he gets lost in the HW 35 department. As long as he has already enquired about electronic turning targets, would he be missed?..

    The acquisition of such a target will have to go before the committee, the sub committee, the finance committee then ME! Guess which is going to be the hardest. Ive bought some 'stick on dots'. 500 for £1.59. That will have to do.

    Ive been at it nearly two hours and Im only half way through. I think Im high on Balistol.

    Im going back - I may be some time.

    Just like when you start looking for an old article in an airgun magazine you start reading other interesting bits. Well, as I started cleaning and handling some of the rifles I decided to put a few shots through them. You forget how novel (and safe) the auto tap is on an early Airsporter. The ease of handling of a FWB Sport. I never forget the build quality of HWs but the BSF55 is lovely to shoot even if it is a bit lively and also well built. The smoothness of the Walther 55. The quirky ness of the Innova. The bulk of a BSF 54 How pleasant the Haenel 303 is to shoot. The weight of an Anschutz 250.
    I also counted the number of Apel o/p mounts I have.

    [They are not in alphabetical order Mike and Im proud to say I dont own a Relum John.]

    Or any Wobblys - except for doorstops and tea stirrers of course.

    Would those "wobblys" be from the same manufacturer whose forty five year old product happened to stuff you (in the hands of "Robot Wray") when using a Steyr?

    Only because I gave him a MPL ruling 12 point head start. and I was using a tatty FWB65.
    One has to remember this is Hippo The non Human who the other night shot a 50 ex 50 with a blinged CP1 and shot a 50 ex 50 with an ASI Centre. What chance has us mere mortals got?
