I was lucky enough to own one of these in my ‘teens. I loved it and shot it lots, then one day it stopped working. Women came along and I forgot all about it. Then PCP’s were born and in my mid twenties I used them instead but i’ve always had a hankering for another Merc S. I looked and looked and couldn’t find what I wanted and then one came up on here. It was decent but far from perfect. The guts have been sorted and it shoots at 11.7ft lb.
Anyway, this is where I am with the restoration. Picture below.
I’ve put a lightweight modern scope on it and it shows 1p sized groups with .22 superdomes off a bench at 30 yards.
I’ve nailed a good few squizzers and woodies since I’ve had it back and am very happy with it. Any ideas on what I could do next to improve it further?
I’d love to see pictures of other Merc S’s if other members feel so bold.
