    Nice shooting, they are great rifles! I spent a couple of hours in the woods at Blackbrook this afternoon with mine, is currently going quite well with AA Diablo express 7.87gn. Your stock looks nice, I’m guessing it’s a CS but which model please?
    Thanks,
    Dave.
    Regards,
    Dave.

    Its a cs500 buddy.

    I've a few of them mate seen here showing differences all great in their own right a huge improvement ergonomically over a std hw one.

    In my opinion anyway they seem to "fit better"

    One of the all-time classics and finer springers money can buy. And Dave can certainly sing a fine tune.

    I have had one years with a Vmach kit in it.

    All I can say is its heavy, heavy is good, heavy is reliable.

    Nice shooting, lovely stock.

    I fancy picking up a 97 myself, had the TX200hc and stupidly sold it last year.

    I love my Venom tuned 97 too. Was shooting it kneeling just the other week knocking over successive knockdowns first time on the plinking range all the way out to 55 yds. Might have to give it another run out tomorrow. My biggest problem, too many rifles not enough time.
