Why did you choose

[knightrider]

I tend to buy any gun I'm offered at the right price, and I never worry about what caliber it is.

Being in the farming community I do tend to get offered far more old .22" guns than .177" ones as .22" seems to have always been bought by farmers for pest control --- .177" being for bell targets and ladies.

I still prefer .22" as it's easier to get a .22" springer upto 12ftlbs, and to be honest at the short distances I tend to shoot at now there's little advantage in a .177's flatter trajectory.

What short distances do you shoot at Mick?

What short distances do you shoot at Mick?

I normally set my scopes up at 35 yards indoors off a bench, but when shooting with less support I only shoot quarry out to about 25 yards, but if I have good support I'll shoot out to the full 35 yards.

That's not to say I can't shoot further on targets, which is why I put the Quigley bucket out at 75 yards at the Boinger Bashes.
