A mixed bag with my newly tuned Diana .22

[Stuart1985 256]

Hey

 

I had been looking forward to picking up my air rifle which i had tuned with V mach kit.

 

This is one of the best air rifles i have ever fired, keep your pcp etc.

 

this is what i managed in about 3 hours walking about a permission of mine, I am really happy i have my 52 back.

 

Squirrels headshots at 35 yards

Crows both taken roughly 30 yards Chestshots/heart

Magpie was shot using a woodie as bait at 20 yards

and the woodies taken at 30 chest shot.

 

This rifle really shoots like a pcp but still has the feeling of a springer!

 

Highly recommend theses tunning kits

I love this gun before it was tuned but now it's just perfect, it's never going to be sold.

What scope are you using?

[Stuart1985 256]

What scope are you using?

 

a s i superscope 3-9 x 50, however am getting a hawke 3-9x50 ir very soon.

 

You from Falkirk?

Forgive me for saying so but.......

 

Shooting Woodies with chest shots is not acceptable Ferrals yes, Woodies no! and I know that the regulars on here will agree with me on this point.

 

Why?

 

Because Woodies have both a huge amount of Muscle mass on their chest and behind that a bloody tough Chestbone, that acts as a freaking strong shield at 30 yards a head shot/neck shot would have been a far preferable shot!

 

I'd have your gun chronoed

 

I know some would disagree but we aim for the most humane possible dispatch of our quarry do we not?

 

As for the rest? Well done

great results from a little mooch about. im lucky if i even get the crosshairs on a woody!!

get a pic of the rifle up lad

[Stuart1985 256]

My shots were perfect for the situation, I shot the woodies from below due to them being up a tree so my pellet would have missed the solid chest bone and came out the back as you can see in picture, I always aim for a humane dispatch of my quarry no matter what it maybe.

 

My rifle is sitting at 11.6 as I picked it up that day (friday) from gunsmith.

 

 

[Phantom 631]

So it wasn't actually a chest shot then If you'd originally said it was shot from below, I would not have questioned your shooting technique

 

Tony

[Stuart1985 256]

I understand where u were coming from, however it was a chest shot as the pellet did go through the chest cavity from below taking out the engine room of both birds.
