bsa mercury

[junglie]

having never seen a bsa mercury I bought one off here a mk2 in .22 .....was impressed full size rifle but not heavy.....I fitted a bsa 3-9 x 40 sight and zeroed it shoots nice using gamo pellets 3/4" group at 30 yards not bad for and old Springer.....it is a keeper

It will shoot a lot better with H&N FTT's in the large head size 5.53 if you can find them . RWS hobbys & superdomes go well in them too.

I remember -4.5mm groups with Marsksan pellets! Thinking back perhaps only one shot hit the target and the rest of the shots missed the target altogether?

Hee, hee!

I've heard that before a fair few times re those 5.53s

When I had my last one (an S that Pete has now), it certainly liked the 'Domes and the aforementioned budget-line H&N Excite Hammer. Can't remember if I tried the Hobby.

My old Challenger which had a .22 Lightning barrel loved FTT's, my .25 Supersport loves JSB's.

I used Hobby's in the Mercury / Challenger I had with very good results
