Jonjon79 13,358 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 It's taken a while. I've had this for around a month now but, it's taken a bit of time to find a pellet that I'm confident with. I had a few good candidates but, they generally all went awry at distance. After a few tests at Black Cat, I had the reticle mapped out with FTTs - last week, they were hitting the edges of a can and spinning it from 58yrds. Today me and Mark (the one with the posh stocks, not the noisy one) took a walk around the big permission for a few hours. We only got 1 squirrel each but, it was good to be out .... We found a good couple of areas that'll be well worth a visit with NV. As we came down through the woods and over the stream, Mark spotted the first one, moving along the ground at the base of a tree - a standing shot from his Cricket soon finished that one off Mine came a little later in a different woods. I caught some movement high up among the leaves. I had to take the shot free hand at a small part that I could see. The FTT went exactly where I wanted, up through the neck and, brought it straight down to the ground 6 Quote Link to post

This one's an Ultramax se - it's a little bigger than the one I had before. Although it still has a power curve, it's very shallow over 50 shots The funny thing is, being a smaller rifle, I actually find it twitchy on the shooting stick but, pretty stable for standing shots. ..... I haven't got any permissions that I can drive around but, it's a pretty good little woodland rifle 2 Quote Link to post
