    I have seen the picture of this bell target - and the impressive stand it is mounted on!

    lol... I'm a flipping terrible shot with a rifle... there's no way I would have bothered with the rifle MPL, but the chance of winning the very generous prize, from one of Lower Rustington's leading bell target makers -- has won me over!

    I don't even own an iron-sighted rifle at present, so as of today, I'm looking for one

    I reckon Red Bob will be competing with something rubbish like a BSA Cadet or an old Meteor.

    Therefore if anybody has a superb (though not too heavy), (MPL legal) match-target rifle for sale -- please get in touch


    Oh, P.S. Are we bothering with .22 MPL pistol this time? I don't see any entries yet?

    blimey ricks got me completely sussed! but hes not far off the truth;god did i laugh when i read his assessment of my likely candidates for the comp ;fact is if i could have fitted a diopter to my cadet major you'd have been spot on..
    but in all seriousness now when i was stuck for a choice as most of my collection are .22 i couldnt help but grin when an old "milbro diopter "caught my attention on the shelf ! ,then another thought crossed my mind[yes two] would it fit on a ------ ----- which i new was .177
    and it did ,so after zeroing found i was able to get a [for me] quite tight grouping;only person who knows is bob who gave me the ok on its eligibility
    so now its being fine fettled and let the battle commence. im ducking out of the .22 pistol as i want to focus on the .177 pistol and rifle;i know there mems out there in the wings ready to knock the resident "big kahuna" off his perch.best of luck you're gonna need it.
    ps rick its"upper" rustington.
    ps ps i recommend a bsa meteor with peep sight could be well suited to your requirements!!.

    Hrm...

    If you had to check eligibility with Zooma, then I reckon it's not spring or SSP. Because you would have known those are OK... so it's a multi pump!

    And as you can actually shoot a group with it -- It's a Sharp Ace or Innova!

    Unless it's a Benjamin or something. But I doubt it because aren't they usually .20 cal?

    Do I win a prize?


    P.S. Whoops, sorry -- I mean't 'Upper Rustington'

    P.P.S. I think I once had a Super Meteor with the peep sight!

    Hi Phil,

    Just get your entry in - that's my advice to anyone as I am sure desperation will creep in and you will find a .177 springer ( or SSP) to use soon enough!

    You need to enter the .177 pistol and .177 rifle to keep tabs on the "Upper Rustington Flyer"

    It looks like the "alternative" competition this season will be the air rifle and not the .22 air pistol - ah well - a change is as good as a rest they say..


    Fancy this?
