bigmac 97kt 13,767 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Just had a blast in the garden. Excellent!! Is my first impressions. But just bringing it up to the eye and back off I can see why ranging can be hard. But I'll give it a whirl next time I'm out. Atb Like i say,d Chris set your targets out your prefer,d zero distance then put some more out to 40, 50, 60 , yards and set your self away once you have mastered it you will be on your way mate. did you try the high vis trick yet atvbmac :thumbs: Quote Link to post

jocky 198 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 mac why do you not get on with the 177. i have got a s410 classic in 177, that in use for rabbits day/nights,.. But i have got a s410 carb in 22 that is great for rats or roost shooting pigeons. the 22 just does not seem to kill the rabbits so clean as the 177 does. 4 Quote Link to post

And have ago at the bolts on the back wall , And to my shock he never missed, and I mean not one ! , and he still raves on about .22 I'm confused Quote Link to post

charlie caller 3,654 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Haha BM, and so you once again have the finest air rifle calibre in your hands seriously mate, if you can just get your head around not giving holdover as soon as you would with a .22, the .177 will amaze you, I know you have used em before mate, and probably shot over the rabbit,once you start dropping them with the .177 you will want one again, I am enjoying my 99s in .22 that I have tuned, it is silly accurate,but I have to say I am constantly thinking about hold over,perhaps too much to be honest, but with the Cometa Lynx even with the Yukon Photon on board at night,its just point and shoot,out to what I have now got used to as my 40yard personal limit, enjoy mate and keep us posted 3 Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well said cc but i dont think you will change his mind , just stubbern gits up north lol 2 Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 No I wont change his mind, but the little flat, fast .177 will do, with its superior killing power 1 Quote Link to post
