I recall starting this thread and looking at it now i remember how green i was at the time and its not long ago . I shoot .177 now but have just purchased a mk2 Airsporter in need of a little fettle . I shoot BR with an wonderful ftp900 purchased off here but the Airsporter is going to be my .22 challenge rifle . I now have 25 acres to shoot on , i still do not hunt but may someday . I intend to try and shoot a 6 inch aluminium plate at 100 yards on open sights with this gun , nope , im not mad but want a mega challenge different to a 2mmX at 25/50m ( 1 pellet out of a tin full qualifies the challenge as complete cool: . I may be some time but as this post shows , i vill be bark , say that in an austrian acent to get the benefit of the joke please . Happy new year peoples .
