Cheap Is Not Always Rubbish!

[Underdog 2,337]

I had a smk xs78 a few months ago and after some work it was very capable.

 

A work colleague needed a gun for his micro farm so sold it him for what it owed me.

I always after that one fancied a QB 78delux. So while shopping with the family in Ayr I snook off to the gun shop and in the window was one!

 

Deal was done and stuffed in the car boot until the end of the holiday away.

 

I soon got it stripped and tuned, trigger sears polished and adjusted and zeroed. So today I took it pigeon decoying in barley.

I set a few deeks in the barley under some dead cherry in a scrubby hedge.

After a slow start birds started to visit and sit in the cherries.

My blind was 20yds down the hedge and when a bird landed in I would slowly stalk for a shot.

Four hours later and six to hand. Seven in the barley lost. Several missed and a few clipped twigs.

It made a great change to be quiet.

 

 

Not bad for just over £100, some pellets and some co2!

 

By the way the thing shoots pretty much any pellet I have. Expensive and cheapies!

These pigeon were taken with cheap Anglo arms things!.

What more could you want? And for less than some pay for a scope,which you don't even use! Some good eating there after a good days shooting,becoming a standard for you this is...

Not cheap for the pigeons, as they will not be going cheep any more. Cheap or expensive should be irrelevant, if it is capable of hitting the target within the killing zone with sufficient force then it is capable of doing the job. Well done, and yes food for the table or your dog?

 

All the best

Meat loaf these birds will be and the dog loves it too.

 

Thanks fellers.

You must have some good eye sight to knock them over with open sights.

Have never shot off sticks, even when I use to deer stalk. I will use an impromptu rest if handy. Can't be doing with to much gear.

It just sounds like an airgun mate.

They don't make that much noise in the first place airguns really.

 

Never understood the need for fancy silencers, airguns work at close range and a good solid hit makes a lot of noise anyway.

 

It's 22 mate.

Looking at the picture it seems to be fit for purpose mate
