Took The S10 For A Walk.

[Jonjon79 13,358]

I've been looking forward to trying this out since I got it.

It's the Mk II BSA Super 10 that I picked up last week.

 

I've made a switch from .177 pcp to .22 for night hunting.

It's had some range time and I checked the 28yrd zero this afternoon.

It turns out that it likes JSB RS.

 

I went off to the rugby club for a quick look round and, found a rabbit over by the storage sheds.

It was eating grass with its back to me. I kept watching it - as it turned, there was very little eye shine

 

I knew it was just over 30yrds from my side of the fence to the back of the shed where the treeline starts.

I took aim at the back of the eye.

The pellet hit with a louder smack than I'm used to from my previous .177. The rabbit went straight down without a twitch.

 

First blood for the S10 was bitter sweet - a quick look at the rabbit confirmed Mixy.

 

This is the first case I've seen on my permissions so far. I just hope it's not going to become widespread.

I know mate, I was gutted. I needn't have bothered stalking into it - I reckon I could have just walked over and euthanised it at point blank range.

 

No, nothing's turned up mate. I reckon either our postman or one of the neighbours has had it.

I bought a level last week so, all my scopes are on straight now

Or a visit to spec savers !

It was mate - I'm always eager to get back out - especially when there's a new rifle waiting to be used

Cheers Mac.

 

I have heard it's easy to double load but, 7 pellets

 

You just have to be aware when cocking - bringing the bolt right back and down indexes the mag.

 

I think I've found the level of interest I was looking for with this old Mk II - it's a nice solid little thing to use

nice guns but big mac is right about the double loading problem
