Well it goes like this .

 

Few weeks back , I posted a picture of my new , revamped , MFR . Si had said to me over the last 12 months , a few times , that he is seriously contemplating getting one . Well with all the agro I had with my last MFR , and considering the new one was relatively new to me , I thought i would offer him the use of it , as the Theobens had given me a headache and knocked my confidence .

 

I said to Si , while chatting , that he should use it and give it a real 'test drive' see what he thought , I was fine with that s long as he could leave me with something to point at rabbits ! Being polite , as he is ( far more than I , I must say ) he said that he would graciously decline I case he caused any damage to the MFR . That was the moment I changed tack . I thought about it and asked Si , if he would reconsider my offer , and calibrate the scope for me and see what kind of results he could get with the new rig . To my delight , he agreed and we met at Sandwell Field Sports when he fetched his springer . As a bonus he also offered me the use of his JB'd R10 ( yes his recent purchase ) !

 

Well it didn't take Simon long to txt and say that he'd had a woodie at 65 meters with the MFR and it was performing well . I on the other hand , struggled to get time to have more than a plink . Until Today !

 

I went out at 2 , and had a good hour with the R10 , just getting to know it , and get the feel of it . I went thought my usual routine of zeroing , but I used the marked out ret card that Si had made . As I was getting decent results , and the pellets were going where I wanted , I pushed the range a bit . Shooting from a pod , I was happy with the performance and decided to move on to rabbits . Now I shoot mostly static , and had my first rabbit at 56 yds , off the pod , and was well happy . With that first one in the bag , I moved to my next permission ( some workmen had turned up at the first ) . The R10 performed faultlessly , and the couple of misses were down to me , that much I can garantee . I finished up with 8 rabbits , sorry no pictures , my camera is playing up and not exposing right , and had a great afternoon out with a cracking rifle . I have to be honest , I would recommend an R10 without fail , from my experience with one today . Cheers Si , I'm looking forward to a review of the MFR , and you can do one of this R10 , IF I let you have it back .

 

All the best guys , Buster .

 

Just got in and getting in the bath , lol !

Cracking Craig,

 

I'm so glad that you had a nice time and 8 bunnies at them ranges is cracking.

 

Yes I think I will dedicate a episode on VerminHuntersTV to your Rapid buddy and take it to the allotments and show it shooting out to 55 metres (61 yards) to which is shoots lovely at.

 

I have beaten that woody now with you rifle buddy on a magpie after some very accurate and precise scope calibration, but Ill leave the range till we speak in person.

 

Si.

[secretagentmole 1,701]

I'm out at the minute playing with a JB'd R10 . Just knocked a rabbit over at 56 yds , straight down the ear'ole . This could turn out to be an interesting evening .

 

Great shot mate!

[Buster321c 1,010]

Cheers mate .

 

Was a great afternoon out , and great to get to grips with the R10 .

 

Daz , the old Ninja pulled off a 86yd maggie the other day if I'm correct , I think it was an MFR in 177 , sub 12 ftlbs ? just waiting to see what Si can do with a Jedi tool from the same stable .....

 

 

[robwelsh 354]

86yrds, that is far. There's some guy on YouTube with an airarms shooting a rabbit at 100.. I don't know whether that is true mind

Nearly Right Craig

 

Me Dad the Ninja's Rapido is a .22, So the 86 yd Maggie Kill is even more impressive ,

Been out with Ninja Pete about 3 or 4 times now on His Permission, And He's an Excellent shot

as You would expect an Ex Game keeper with over 40 odd years of Shooting.
