    Anschutz 335.
    My FWB 124 isn't too shabby either.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    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…..

    SMK XS38 177 tuned by ARC just as accurate as my TX200 and Diana 48

    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.

    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.

    The Tornado was the better of the two, I’m surprised you don’t have them both?

    They’re getting hard to find now though……

    Buying the Relum at the Bash was spur of the moment mate. I've never had (or even tried) one before and I really didn't have great expectations for it, but it's a fun little thing to shoot in the garden and, most importantly, my lad loves it.
    He wanted a scope for it at first but then found he could get decent groups with the opens and said he wants to keep it as it is
