    Excellent stuff, Jeff. The 95 is a fantastic rifle. One of my favourites and so much more than just a "garden gun".

    .177 or .22? In either calibre I'd most definitely be trying the Field Target Trophy, too. And, if .177, I'd give the Baracuda FT and Baracuda 8 a try. In .22 I'd be also trialling the JSB Jumbo RS and Express.

    Have you still got the 98?

    I had a very early one years ago in .22, it was great, I'd have another.

    Yep, Bisley Magnums are standard weight Baracudas.

    As Tony says, a little bit more than a garden gun for sure !

    I'm on my fifth having owned and sold two .177 and two .22's in the past. My current 95 is a .177 and I'm confident in saying I prefer that caliber, it preferring JSB Exact RS.
    Cant remember what the two ,22's liked, possibly FTT ?
    All five have been the early barrel weighted versions which I've a liking for in preference to the latest offerings and the beech factory stocks suit me fine despite being a southpaw !
    If I ever felt the need for a "supa-dupa tune of bells n whistles plus furry dice", I may consider a bonny CS stock, otherwise the beech handles are fine.
    Scope is a NS Platinum black gloss job which sets off the combo to a treat !

    I mostly use it on the range out to 35m but occasionally it comes in very handy for dispatching the odd vermin in the garden !

    Following a thread on the other channel, I bought a spare piston for my .22 95 & had it lightened ( down to 206 grams) (and glided whilst it was there lol), and wow the recoil has massively reduced.

    It's better than my Mk 1 97 & my reduced cylinder 80 with the rotating piston !


    Its the 95 k & also has a slimtech style silencer ( weight to reduce muzzle flip) & a Bisley butt pad, and a tbt kit fitted, not short stroke any more & b ri t piston & breech seal.

    The work on the piston was very cheap, I'd highly recommend this mod

    Is this brand new out the shop mate or used,as you haven't mentioned ant twang or buzz on shooting I'm thinking it's poss been fettled.
    Ive had a few 95's the barrel weighted ones were superb,the later silenced ones were horrible
    Im glad you like it mate.
    Times are hard and friends are few - so ta-ra to you.
