Busters Custom Theoben MFR

[zini 1,939]

Here is an accuracy test of Craig's custom .177 Theoben MFR as requested by him.

 

He asked me to try and find the best pellet for his MFRs barrel and then test that pellet at 25 metres out to 70 metres on targets.

 

He also wanted me to calibrate his scope and its mildots with the best pellets for the barrel.

 

After trying 5 different brands of pellet with a scope that didn’t really do the rifle its full justice, 1 brand came out as a clear winner.

 

No surprises which pellet was the best of the bunch.

 

Watch as the test unfolds and see what this rifle is capable of achieving.

 

Even though the rifle showed impressive results I honestly think this rifle is capable of far more than I achieved with it on the test due to the low mag, non AO scope and my shooting skills not being up to the rifles possibilities.

 

Stick a Hawke Sidewinder Tac 30 on this rifle and it would take some beating even by some of the most expensive sub 12, hunting rifles on the market.

[Mawders 595]

Nice rifle, don't think it matters though these days which rifle you decide to buy because they can all shoot straight with the right pellet, starting to think it comes down to what looks more appealing on the eye. Nice shooting Si!

[zini 1,939]

We are going to a barn dance in the village tomorrow night with my mum and step dad if your up for it pal.
