Hi mate
I wanted to justify it so that it had less chance of getting moved. Now there is a dedicated long range section it should really go in there, yet as I said, the owner of the gun I was using (Kenny) cannot view that section so I thought it would be a bit off for me to post up there about using his kit without him being able to read it. I ain't got a clue why Kenny can't post in the long range section, I know there was a lot of tooing and froing about Harrys posts so probably something to do with that, dunno why he would be banned/unable to view that section though, maybe a MOD will come along and explain? I've not been a follower of the Long Rage debate either so don't know the whole deal of what went before, but I got to say I thought it looked like good fun so had to try it. I'm always into trying things like this as it spices up a normal day at the range.
The Shandell is a Air Arms 100 series rifle that was converted by a bloke called Bob Shandell. They were designed to really push the envelope at the time and can produce power in excess of 40 ftlbs hence the name 40+. A lovely gun to shoot there were only 8 made I think, the one I have previously was owned by Terry D and as far as I know was made to his specs by Bob. There is another for sale in the firearms section for silly money and I'd have it in an instant but I'm struggling just now to afford pellets let alone a new gun
