    What's your No1 reach for shooting iron atm

    Mine's a Mk3 Webley Vulcan .22 fitted with a humble 4x32 with which I'm currently using up my odd's n sods .22 pellets, trigger breaks clean, balance is very good, shooting off hand to get my hand back in so to speak.

    Mines a heavy barrel Anshutz .17hmr - just for the look on a pigeons face at 140 yards.

    Tricky one really. Of late, restricted to my (short) garden, I'd tend to grab any of my pistols or Crosman based mini-carbines. Or one of my older BSA boingers.....Supersport or Mercury S.

    For more "serious" use, I'd generally be choosing between my V-Mach kitted HW95 or 77.

    Either of my springers, a 97k or tx200 mk3 can't choose between them really. Both had a fair bit of fettling.

    My daughters Artemis PP700 carbine with a 4x32 - or my open sighted 77.

    This is all about to change after Christmas though.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    My CZ452 varmint barrel .17HMR simply for its versatility and accuracy, wind permitting.

    In the last month I'd have to say the 2240 mini-carbine. Even though it's my least accurate gun. All down to being restricted to garden use.

    Over the last six months.....the Mercury S, due to fettling it in January and trying out / pellet testing.
