Tour De Yorkshire

[si brown 8,486]

woke up early this morning and decided to make a day of it,

so I've been to 4 perms some that I've not been to in ages!

this was the first proper session for the 97 and I'm well happy with it, forgot how nice good springers in .22 are.

 

first perm I picked up a couple of woodys got a few more and a couple of crows but couldn't find them due to overgrowth

 

 

second perm "big garden with paddock "I wanted to see the owner to sign off on something for me but he wasn't in but I bagged the

first rabbit for the 97

only saw the one and fired one shot.. 37yard off a fence post

perm 3 no-one about and no rabbits:(

only dropped the one woody and it didn't quite go to plan!

trampled

called in on the last one on the way home to a pig farm to see if the farmer had noticed if the rats where picking back up!

answer yes please, throw a night shift ...

so I had a walk round and fed the pigs a load of ferrels that were living in the rafters

picked up a few doves too

 

tonights tea less the rabbit, dropped that off for a mate on the way home!

think me and this 97 are gonna get on fine, even more so when I put a decent scope on x4 is challenging

It's got an old hawke hd fixed at x4 but I've set parallax to 35yrd

It's ok to 50yrd then it's guess work so no long shots!

Local shops ain't got what I want in

Indeed.

 

Was toying with floggin one of me 2-7's, of course, you'd get first dibs if you were interested. But your right, 9x would suit it much better.

Nice shooting Si .

 

I`m using a Tasco and a Bushmaster at 4x40 and 4x38 respectively, - hard work, much, much prefer x10 for hunting.

 

 

Well mate, what`s your preference up to now, HW 95 or HW 97 ?

atb Mark.

the 95 is smooth as you like mark and the weight is an added bonus but the 97 trumps it with the

re-loading, its effortless and discreet

both are 5p groups at 40yrd

I don't know how we use to get on before ml dots.. its proper testing using the 95 with the whitetail but it dose the trick!

pcp's are good for full on pest control but I way more enjoy the springers
