Great looking rifle mate.

I know you'd like it tuned up but can't be too sad if it's happily knocking over bunnies, pigeon and the odd pheasant. My 77 is as it was when it came out of the factory and has plenty of punch. it's a .20 cal, some people hate them at this calibre but it does the bizzo on all I've ever used it for.

Yer it a fair one mate to be honest, sometimes I guess I'm just being greedy when I should get a slap and be happy with what I have got

Hi Craig

 

I can't see the pellet entry point. Can you tell me where you hit it?...........and before anyone shouts, yes I know you can't shoot pheasants on the UK mainland with an air rifle. I just being morbidly curious.

Good shooting, why the ban on releasing game birds? just wondering

[Craig Fosse 286]

I think it's because the reason why the fr introduced years ago, a load of guys brought them over with the intent to use them as game birds but the states over here banned it, so before they could ban them ring released into the wild, they were hence the reason there are so many and now the ban on releasing them. Don't quote me on that though but I think that's the reason

Being released, sorry stupid dictionary on the phone

Strange reason to ban them, they are a food sorce after all

[Craig Fosse 286]

Hi Paul, you can't actually see the entry point on there, twhere it looks like is where I have wringed the neck, I do this to all birds even if I know it is a kill shot just to make doubly sure, I actually shot it where the neck joins the head severing the spinal cord, I tend to aim a bit away from headsahots on birds because they just move too much

[Craig Fosse 286]

Sorry Paul thought you said you could see it haha

Yes you can, I have shot plenty with my air rifles, just as legal as shooting them with a shotgun!
