    Hi Evert, we are all safe here, and yes I am fully able to do some trips out. Would be nice to see some friends again.
    If you and missus are in the neighbourhood you can stop by for a cup of coffee or tea.
    Plenty of land for shooting too .

    I haven't tried the new Walthers and Feinwerkbaus, so for me it would have to be:

    Sub-12 ft.lbs.: HW 95K with open sights in .177" calibre.

    FAC: HW 80K with open sights in .22" calibre.

    All the better if they were tuned by Venom Arms / V-Mach.

    My Theoben Fenman has held zero for ten years and just delivers. It could be improved with an HW Trigger and an Omega's scope improved stock. In walnut with some chequering.
    My other reach for rifle is a FWB Sport and that just needs a HW Trigger.

    I have a Steve Pope fully tuned HW95 and its still flighty due to being FWB Sport weight. Plus still doesn't have a scope orientated stock.

    Gasram is a superior power plant than a spring. Keep to farmyard ranges then most can be made to deliver; it only goes to pot when more range is tried. Light weight, spring, and long range, with a break barrel will always have one element that lets the team down. But at least they are a true sporting weight and not some brick.

    Sounds great evert, it's been some time since I saw him last time. We've shared some sms and e-mails since then,
    but sure it would be great to meet him in real too . I'll look forward to it!
    I try to give the whole collection a workout now, but it takes time now in the hot weather. Too hot some days now.
    Have made some new shooting lanes to keep away from the sun. The biggest problem now is, "where's that cat?"
    I never know where he is sleeping or hunting, his life is outdoor the whole summer, visiting just to show up what he's hunted.
    He's an eminent hunter and keep control of rats and mice .
