    Great to hear that you're all keeping well, Rhys.

    And fantastic to hear that you may do a two-day stint at The Hollow.

    I know what you mean re the lack of time matey. I have a few tinkering projects to undertake when I can squeeze them in. Hopefully this Sunday I'll be taking a peep inside the little Supersport I got last week.

    If that 77 is a 25mm, all she'll need is a degrease and relube. Plus seals if required. A tiny bit of polishing to make sure all will run smoothly, spring if required (and ends nice and shiny) and a little bit of Delrin goodness and it'll be beautiful.

    We'll all be there in just 12 weeks now!

    I'm pretty certain its a newer 26mm.., not that I'm worried though as its a full length .22 so I'm sure we can sort something ., 12 weeks a? well that's not long at all in adult terms! I cant wait, I'm just trying to figure out on which scope to put on it, ive got a few to choose from now but I cant help thinking I might need a nice 2-7 to plonk on top anyway I just want to get in use with it & start enjoying the girl. heres what she looks like.,

    That looks beautiful, Rhys.

    Don't fret over it being a 26mm. Some may say to lighten the piston and reduce the stroke slightly, but with just a very mild fettle it will still be lovely. And many shoot beautifully out of the box. If the spring is good and the standard (and very good) guide fits the spring nicely, a top hat, polish and lube will be just fine and just shoot and enjoy.

    Hiya rhys,
    I reckon a nice little hawke airmax 2-7X32 would go lovely on that. Plenty of aim off points, great glass and light.

    Agree BUT LIGHT sorry to disagree mate, but imo for its size, it's a pretty weighty scope

    Seriously, my birthday was nearly a week ago! If we're not careful we will start another cult and in a few thousand years there will be millions of Tinbumians praising the holy days at the beginning of April, June, September and November while wearing shorts and being incredibly good looking!

    This is how it starts........
