Introducing myself

[Rikimaru]

Hi everyone

Just a quick post to introduce myself.

Long time airgunner 45+ years. Fan of springers, especially Brummie Webley's.

Live in York but a Sheffield lad.

I have a Webley Vulcan .22, Welsh Willy kit/spring, highly tuned trigger, shortened barrel (11 inches) with a bonded V-mach mod, adjustable butt plate, beautiful gun, shoots 5p sized groups at 25yrds.

Webley Tracker, Walnut stock, custom mod and Carbon barrel shroud, gas ram (yes it does work, beautifully in fact), tuned trigger, adjustable butt pad, lapped loading tap & running at 8 ft lbs with .22 Hobby's which suits it perfectly.

Hope to learn more about the sport because even with 45yrs experience there is always more to learn, especially with Spingers.

Cheers.

Hi and a very warm welcome.

In the meantime, enjoy the forum. Lots of nice people on here and we look forward to your contributions.

Well said Chris.

At least our new esteemed gentleman has the love for British engineering

Welcome aboard and yes please do watch out for Tony and the baloney he speaks, he'll lull you into a false sense of security with his "I have a BSA" and then toss it aside and force you to worship that German muck that has managed to find itself to our shores

Stick to your guns (excuse the pun) and don't give in.

Wahay!

As you say, Pete, just lulling our lovely fresh newbie into a false sense of security and then.....kabam!

Hope you're keeping well, my friend.

And, just to warm your cockles, the last two rifles that have enjoyed plinky times in the back garden have been the Mercury S and the Supersport.

Enjoy fella.

I'm fine Tone, hope you're in good health as well my friend.

Are you feeling a bit guilty and feel the need for some Beeza love

Go careful on the newbie please mate, we don't want to scare him off already

All good, thank you, Pete.

Those BSAs are just more easily and quickly accessible, so when the opportunity for an impromptu quick plink presents itself, they're the ones I tend to grab, saving the others for more "special occasions" and longer range duties.

I see, good to know you don't forget about them

I have a tendency to do the same now, I love shooting my .25 Supersport more than the Prosport for plinking sessions, much easier and quicker to load but the .25 ammo prices kind of puts you off having too many sessions

Pete

[TonyL]

Yep, know what you mean with pellet prices and the high cost of the .25 is one of the factors that would put me off (for plinking). With price rises in recent times even .22 is proving quite costly now and I'd prefer to use .177 for all non-hunting applications. Oops.....might start something off there! I suppose the affordability side of things will be down to different people's perspectives and financial positions.......
