Just got my new toy today

[zini 1,939]

Hi all,

I just thought that i'd put up a quick post of my new toy that i bought today. I was going to get it in .177 but the wait was 3 weeks with BSA and the gunsmith in Richmond managed to talk me into this .22 calibre BSA R10 mark 2 with a second stage SAK silencer model instead.

 

I have had to sell my trusty old GunPower Storm but I'm sure that this R10 mark 2 will live upto and beyond the Storm. (Its got some big boots to fill i can tell you).

 

I zeroed it in at 30 metres in a wind free vehicle hanger and i was suprized by its accuracy.

This gun was accurate enough to shoot the drawing pins that pinned my target up on the wooden backstop with ease.

 

After a 10 minute plink in the hanger i took my son Dylan with me for a walk around my fenn and cage traps to see if a tree rat had come for dinner. (No luck there, but maybe tomorrow).

 

Just before we headed home we went and tried out the new gun on 2 unlucky bunnies.

 

The first bunny fell with a car window rested 37 metres head shot and the second bunny was a 20 metres gift. Shame that i didnt have my camera with me but maybe next time i will.

Cheers guys for the kind comments,

 

I'm replying here from my office at work.

 

Yes Festa we will defo break her in at the weekend. I dont know about me being a better shot, Ive seen you do some great shots yourself mate.

 

I went this morning for half an hour before work and got a squizzer from around the pheasant feeders. He got kissed on the side of the head with a .22 domed which upset his grain apitite :dance: .

 

I then went for an hour at dinner time and got 2 corrids and a ferrel flying rat. Ill put the pictures up tonight under this same post when ive down loaded them from my camera to my computer.

 

Yes Wuzzy, I'm going to get a Daystate mate, but i need to wait 3 and a half years till i fininsh this job and get my pension. I fancy the Airwolf MVT in .177 calibre with the tactical stock at the moment but by then in 3.5 years there will be a better one designed so ill get that one instead i suppose

 

Oh Festa i forgot to tell you on the phone mate. I also got 2 squizzers in the mark 4 fenns this morning too. Luckily i had my camera today with me and filmed them and I'm going to add them to the DVD mate.

 

Until later with the photos from today Zini
