Thanks To Jimmy

[philpot 5,007]

Today Trish and myself met up with Si and Amy to pass over the BSA Airsporter.

 

Jimmy I thank you mate so much, she is a cracker. I didn't open the case whilst with Si because we couldn't get the cars close together in Beverley and not such a good idea in the middle of the market square so it was not until we got home that I had a good look at her and my goodness she is lovely. Just popped on a Hawke Vantage 3-9x40 AO scope which just sits really nice.

I would have gone for a scope of the period but in all honesty my eyes need AO function to get things sharp.

 

I will be taking it to the range on Tuesday or Wednesday to get it zeroed and ready to go.

 

I must also thank Si for taking the trouble to come down to hand the gun over, cheers mate and it was a pleasure to meet you both.

 

I am so pleased with this gun................................really pleased. Here is a couple of photo's with the scope now fitted

 

 

 

 

Jimmy you are a star mate and a friend.

What pellets did you try in her Jimmy.

What pellets did you try in her Jimmy.

JSB EXACT JUMBOS 15,89GR

 

BUT THE BARREL HAS HAD A CLEAN AND SHE ONLY HAD A HAND FULL OF PELLETS THROUGH HER

 

SO YOU MAY NEED TO DO SOME PELLET TESTING WITH HER TO SEE WHAT SHE LIKES

Looks a real belter that mate

[philpot 5,007]

Okay, I have some of those and a test selection tin of JSB pellets so I think I have enough to start off with.

If it helps any Phil,

RWS Hobby .22 ( flat heads) - 11.9 g left my old Air Sporter rather quickly and accurately out to 30 yds, after that range, I don`t know as I was shooting rats on the farms and ferels for my local churches and did not venture further.

This combination took a lot of vermin , accurately mate,

Thanks Mark, I think there are some opened tins at the range but if not, I will say yes please.

 

I am hoping after the accuracy of the TX with AA Express, I am going to try JSB RS and FAP which are the same pellet although in FAP guise they were shocking to feed/index in the Wildcat but the RS version was a good rat killer with no indexing issues.

 

The Hobbies would be easier to get hold of locally as a side thought.
