just-A-snap 1,269 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Determined with mind focused, camera all setup on tripod. Rifle and pellets at the ready. Filming started, stroll over to the Air Rifle. Picking the Rifle up and put to shoulder. The rifle felt very heavy, by the time I cocked and put a pellet into it my hands and arms felt like that they was on fire and as if they was out on an all night Whiskey Bender and having just now staggered home. As I said determined with mind focused nine shots was taken free handed, standing unsupported at Fifteen Yards with the BSA Lightning XL SE .177 Tactical Spring Air rifle and with AIR ARMS Diabolo Field, 8.4 Grains, 4.52 .177 pellets. Hawke Eclipse 3-12x50 AO IR Mil-Dot Scope at Seven Times Magnification. It was just one more day but all is good, some you win and some you lose. Think that I Need to get myself an Hawke Airmax 2-7x32 AMS Scope to cut down on weight, that idea is one taken from REZ's book. Four out of Nine Shots on Target, not bad for a Whiskey Bender Hangover. Metaphorically SpeakingAll the best https://youtu.be/rOJr7-EeXlA 4 Quote Link to post

The only time that I get stoned nowadays is with more than a drop of the hard stuff. Also no Grow bags Rez, just those under my eyes. Yes, to the Airmax Rez, would be good, but would it not negate its purpose with an illuminated reticle. Light weight? Al the best to you and yours 1 Quote Link to post

I'm not sure there 'that' light weight mate, 450'ish g I think, there no where near as light as a MTC UL for example. I think it's more about its compact personality, great ret. to be fair though, your right, the lite up ret models are generally half much in weight again. Quote Link to post
just-A-snap 1,269 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Lighter than my Three Hawke Eclipse AO IR Mil-Dot Scopes or my MTC 4-16x50IRS Viper Rez 1 Quote Link to post
