    That's the sort of thing I'd go for as well !
    All being well, it will be there, with me happily pointing it at the bucket.

    Recently got back into my Springers and got myself a nice walnut stocked prosport in .177 , took it out for the first time today and after a session on targets took it for a wander around the fields . Bagged a nice 30yard magpie .
    Not sure how the firing cycle of the prosport is supposed to be , but this one has apparently been short stroked and feels snappy ,it does 11.4 ft/1b's with 8.4 grain JSB's . Im more than happy with its performance

    Mike a couple of pics below

    done a HW 95, 97, 80 in the past , fairly straight forward ..but best fun was with a cometa fenix 400s.. main spring , guide , top hat , delrin washers , polish and trigger fettle .. it shot as well as a venom lazaglide I used to own .. was really impressed.

    At the mo my son in law as a Remington Tyrant break barrel ( made in china ). shoots kinds ok but with work could be good..
    I cant identify what brand /make the rifle is , as its just a rebadge. Think tuning kit etc would really improve it , but which one???
    Any one got any ideas

    Embarking on a rejuvenation of my Dad’s old BSA Mercury. The aim is to convert it into my wife’s gun into a 10th anniversary gift. She doesn’t shoot much but mentioned off hand that perhaps she should have a gun of her own. She’s not tall so my full size rifles to too big.

    I’ve just cleaned up the piston and stock taken the parts I have and I’m eager to get going on it. Needs quite a bit of work.

    cool - do you do that kit mate ??.

    TB - just to clarify

    The Remington tyrant as a plastic end cap on back of action and but a manual safety in front of the trigger , its not like the Remington express , or hammerli 800.
    cheap little gun but handles really well and dead pointable

    The best thing would be open it and send a pic of the interaction between the guide and trigger block just to be sure.
