    Had similar issues with other guns Pete but this one seems to put out a uniform loose pattern around the zero. Looking forward to tomorrow really as its been a while since I put this rifle through its paces.

    A more recent .22 Hyedua Fenman. This one's in in better nick that the first but it has a plainer stock, it is however a very accurate shooter which I have used on bunnies in the field with much success !

    Nice.


    If you're ever in Lincoln, John, nip into City on Newark Road. When I picked the little 30S up the other week, Ady was proudly showing off his private collection of various Theobens, including many very rare models. The shop is rammed with all sorts, old and new. There was a brace of Lincoln Jeffries rifles there that I had to resist. Lots of stuff for sale, rifles, pistols, gear etc. and, in addition to his Theobens, he also has his own Sheridans, Benjamins and Setras on view.

    Give him a call first and tell him I sent you. Apparently some find him a bit, er, frosty, but if is expecting you and knows I sent you you'll receive a warm welcome.

    My RB carbine gave best accuracy with the larger head size ftt's,they shoot most decent pellets well too, superdomes etc.

    I had a beautiful thumbhole stocked Olympus in 0.177.

    I had problems with the Ram in winter when the weather dropped to near zero or below. From a warm car you could put it over the chrono and watch each pellet shoot a lower velocity. So I had to get to a shoot and leave it out for 20 mins to stabilise ( MV would be low now in the cold ). I also had to shoot it quite slowly because shooting it quickly seemed to warm up the Ram and power would be all over the place. Could that be a problem with your Fenman in this cold weather?

    No not really, i shoot it indoors over 25 and 33m. The power remains constant but the group is not as tight as I would like !
