    That sounds like a challenge .and I am late shooting my cards this month ..and I do have access to an old Hurricane with a .177 and .22 barrel.....

    I am at the club tonight but maybe the predicted wet weekend could see me tinkering with the Hurricane in my garage to see what I can do with it.

    I will try the same Crossman pellets that you are using as they seem to be "Webley friendly" and see how I get on with it

    oh no what have i done! its only fair to let you know the hurricane is the Harley davidson of the springer pistol genre and are very demanding in every way ,bit like playing golf using the wrong end of the club ,so i quite understand if this puts anyone off.

    To cut a long story short - when I get my Tempest back to shooting straight - you can look out, Red Bob!

    The Tempest is only a sawn-off Hurricane at the end of the day ( bit like a racing Harley eh Bob?) so that sounds like a fair rival to me and if my Hurricane cannot be "fettled" tonight I may end up using the sawn-off version too

    Given the Hurricane's longer sight base, and proper adustable rearsight - If I was within say, 5 points ex 300 with my Tempest (.22) - I'd class that as a small internal victory against a Hurricane (.22) to be honest!

    That said, going by Red Bob's March & April scores (.22 cal), I think he'd need to be put under extreme psychological pressure for that to happen

    I agree..and used my grey plastic Original Model 5 again with .22 Hobby pellets for my April 6 yard MPL cards.

    Back to where I started - good fun and still very challenging !
