    In cases such as this the "sod it, get 'em both" approach must surely apply.


    Would you like me to make the call and fix it for you?
    If you could Tone that would be great cheers. I reckon sadly on this occasion I'm going to be lucky to get one of them let alone both to be honest. If I do get one of them over xmas that will have to it for a while. Its really hard trying to resist temptation. I keep telling myself its pointless getting another one but theres some lovely rifles out there!!!!

    I had a hallway pistol plinking sesh pencilled in for this afternoon, but everything went pear shaped!







    However, shortly the Mrs will be watching TV whilst I enjoy a late evening session instead. BOING!

    Will nip in later if I can.

    And what a lovely gesture re sending those big, heavy pellets to our PaulyBoy. How many couriers are geared up for the more heavyweight loads?
    You know me tone, I'm all heart

    I'm wondering if he might melt them down and make catty ammo out of them

    Do you reckon .22 even for the HW98 being mainly used for targets? I have to admit I'm loving my '77 in .22

    I was thinking that too Mike. Maybe load the catty with half a dozen and give me a better chance of hitting something

    No the 98 is fine in. 177, more so with a short stroke kit

    Did it go your way Tone ? If so, which pistol and how did you get on ?

    It is confusing for sure lol.The thing is I want a couple that I can use if I join a local club (probably HFT) so the 98 in .177 is ideal for that along with the TX200 I've got. Its great to get all your opinions on these calibres and rifles though because you're all more experienced in club shooting, field/hunting etc as my shooting years have mainly been plinking based. Having had to give up golf due to osteoarthritis in my lower back a couple of years ago shooting is now the hobby I want to pursue. Thanks again chaps!!
