Good man.

Now, repeat after me, "I want a 99, I want a 99.."

**baldinio** · 21-10-2021, 12:35 PM

Hopefully I will get time to strip the new to me 99 and post the spring off for some custom fitted guides

and start polishing the internals

Zeroed the HC today and will have a proper plink on Saturday. So it will be standard HC v Nick G special.

That's going to be lots of fun, Pete. Nice one.

How did the weekend's escapades go, peeps?

And we know our Pete had a most excellent result with two boingery additions.

The HC was very nice....raised more questions regarding the 97 which will need more investigation.
I put my Prostaff which was on my 97 onto the HC.
I was selling the Prostaff as the BDC Ret. Didn't work with the pellet path. Running out of aiming points too quickly. The HC however worked well. Power etc is similar and pellets from the same tin. It may be an eye alignment issue so I will see if the adjustable butt pad makes a difference. This is why we love springers

Oh and Debbie was wondering when the next Bash was . She enjoyed it so much she is coming back!. Got to teach her to shoot the meteor

Just acquired an Anchutz 335 mk1 in .177" cal over the weekend. Mach 1.5 had kindly been sitting on it for me at his place until I could collect it. In need of a bit of work, but all together. Chrono'd at 5.5ft/lb and very twangy, so some refinishing and a fettle are in order. Took some time to break the hw30 out for a long overdue session. With collections, you often shoot the closest to hand, and I really regretted not having the '30 closer as it shot like a dream on Sunday afternoon out to 25yds on 15mm knock downs.

Nice one, Pete.

. I've always fancied the Prostaff too.

And very well done on getting Debbie interested.

. I think treating her to her very own beautiful little lightweight (like a 30S) may pique her interest even more and that special day isn't far away now.

I’ve got a bell target I bought a couple of years ago and only just unboxed it this weekend. It’s now positioned at the end of my Man Cave at about 30ft ready for a bit of indoor play when the weather turns wet. HW45, CP88 and Hatsan Mod25 at the ready and well overdue an outing.

Wahay!!

Nice one, Pauly.

. Bell targets are immense fun and there's nothing quite like a most enjoyable and therapeutic session indoors once the weather turns.

Enjoy, matey.

Brilliant stuff; nice one, Chris.

Will you be fitting the CS stock soon or is that a little treat for later?

Going to tune it first then get the stock ordered, can't decide which one to go for at the present.

**TonyL** · 23-10-2021, 04:56 AM

Do they do the full range of styles to suit the 99? If so, that's going to be a toughie.......

Nice choice to have to make, though.

Ayup all - better late than never

Great fun was had on the Saturday. Nice to see a few of the crew again and for me,it was the first time I had shot since the start of the plague. People seemed to enjoy the Steyr - mind you it is a great laugh!. I apologise once again to Craig for it being accurate lol
It was also very pleasant (for me at least) that this venue is only half an hour from home! Proper winner for me.
Anyway - a good day. Only got through 2 and a bit tins of pellets too!
