    The little Relum Telly that I bought from Melv (Chippendale) at last years final bash has surprised me.

    We think it's completely bog standard (it's properly boingy) and just has the standard open sights. I can keep a 1 inch group at 20 yards, which doesn't sound awesome by modern standards but I was expecting GPMG style shot pattern!

    I've a service kit for it which will convert it to a single spring rather than the double, plus a piston seal conversion, so it'll be interesting to see how it shoots with a little fettle.

    My .25 Supersport is pretty accurate considering it's a BSA and the calibre, I've pushed it out a bit further at the range and it can keep up with my son with the .22 LGV.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I was about to post much the same thing (but without the son )
    I almost regret selling mine, but the hassle over pellet size was doing my head in.

    My .22 Supersport is one of my favourite Guns, its a 1986 but looks as if it was made yesterday with how well it's put together, She'll be at the Bash with me if I can get there.

    I one hole grouped my unfettered mk 5 .177 meteor at 35 yards a few times. So literally through shooting 10,000 pellets and trying every mechanical assistance I could dream up ( homemade springer friendly bipods made of sponge, twine and hazel) I got that dog of a rifle on paper to shoot very consistently. Essentially I learnt marksmanship using that rifle and got close to the best from it I reckon.
    prone position down!

    My BSA Superstars are quite accurate, as good as my TX200HC, but, I have become inaccurate…..

    Original 45.
    It was less expensive than the FWB Sport and HW35/80/77, just not as cheap as a Webley Vulcan MK1.
    They shoot well.

    This in heaps.
    I've used several of Lyn's tuned up, budget Chinese rifles and they knock spots off of many outfits offering super tunes on HW and AA rifles.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    35 years ago we found a very rusty Relum Taurus in an abandoned half sunken boat It was covered in red rust. I took the stock off & chucked the rest in a tank of diesel for a week. Put a new piston head & washer in it & it & it was shooting again. The trigger on these is agricultural but you can see that the budget for these was spent mostly on the barrel. It is beautifully rifled & shoots really well. We still have it.

    I like my Stoeger X20 ATACs. Very accurate at short range.

    Mine has a later proper .25 lightning barrel which excepts .25 pellets, I had a .243 barrel before which was a nightmare for pellets.
