Hi Craig,

You are not too late - you can join the MPL competition at any time (as Andy as advised) and everything you need to know about the competition is on display at the start of this thread.

If you would like to get your entry (or entries) fee paid by bank transfer and let me have a PM or email with your postal address I will get your entry packs(s) away to you on Monday.

Looking forward to having you shoot with us!

Bob.

Has anyone got any ideas on the best choice of rifle for the MPL Spring or SSP?

[PhatMan]

Xdriver,

For me, the attraction of the MPL is that I can shoot rifles that would not normally be considered for target use - e.g I shot the Autumn/Winter rifle rounds with my ancient Original 35 (albeit it very badly ).

Almost any 0.177" rifle will shoot well for the MPL - the SSPs and recoil-less springers are 'easier' to shoot, and these kosher 'target' rifles are more accurate, but I find it highly satisfying to shoot the old 'twangers'

For the Spring/Summer MPL, I will be using a 1974 Webley Mk3 Supertarget, and see how that goes.

At the end of the day, you can choose effectively what you like (as long as it is 'MPL Legal')

Have fun

Best regards

Suppose my criteria would be :
Low powered - smoother and will not damage my pellet catcher too much, I wrecked the "niceness" of my Original 35 by pushing it to the limit and regretted it.
Well made - so older stuff or target stuff. also easy to work on and get to know.
Inexpensive - so you can start a collection as one is never going to be enough once you start! And so you will not wince too much as you saw 2" or more off the butt to get it to fit you better

Best cheers

I've just used a Webley Mark 3 for Jan's rifle event. I may use my 1920s BSA CS another month as it's nice to give them an airing.

John,

I will be zeroing in the 1974 Mk3 Supertarget later this afternoon, and will be having a go at Jan's rifle cards tomorrow.

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards
