    Greetings

    Greetings gents, been several years since I was involved in HFT and an occasional FT comp , but having recently retired, I have dug out my old springers, that have been lying ignored on the top shelf in my workshop !

    I sold all my PCPs , life has a habit of kicking one health wise, now living here in the warmth, my health is a lot better fortunately.

    I've really enjoyed the old thrill of shooting a springer , and actually hitting what I aimed at.

    I've been offered a Norinco Dragon at a silly price, had about 20 pellets through the barrel, clearly the owner expected the air rifle to magically hit everything , exploding it like the games they all play.

    I've looked about , but can't find anything negative about it . In fact not too much is written about it.
    The Spanish air gunners love .

    Living in Spain, obviously , they are super patriotic, and love their own pellet guns .

    I'll collect it next week, and see what its like to plink with a more modern springer, my present ones , an old Diana/RWS , a BSA Superport and a BSA Meteor mk1 .

    Can't believe its been over 7 years since I last picked up an air rifle to plink a bit !!

    I love springers, the challenge of shooting them well gives me a thrill.

    I enjoy a good PCP, but they can be so clinical , no thrill when you've taken a real good shot like when you boing a target thought to be impossible !!
