Its a 22. Where's best place to get cleaning kit?

 

Like the gun. Think this could be fun.

the Napier pull through kits are good but I refuse to pay 30quid

I use heavy fishing line to pull through 50mm square patches... works a treat and costs nowt!

there are loads of vids on youtube

 

Rez on here put me onto h&n FTT in .53 for my .22 97 and they work a treat!

 

enjoy your rifle, there an excellent bit of kit

Once you have found the pellet that " delivers" with your air rifle, - change absolutely nothing, - " period" !

Spot on Mark

Let the rifle do all the work and as Jonjon said practise, practise and more practise. And mark wiliams is spot on, the grass is never greener if you are getting the results. Why fill onse head thinking that it is so instead of concentrating with the good results one already has?

Above all Enjoy

All the very best overrun

Good choice me old China plate. Good choice.

 

Not one to go against the grain, but mines never had its barrel cleaned, though it is stripped twice a year, and pretty much puts any lead within half inch at the usual distances. That includes 19grn hunter extremes. Kindly sent to me from Si.

 

It's utterly run in though. Coming on 7 years old.

 

H&N FTT's 5.53 seem to be the dome of choice in mine. Can't fault it. Or them. Of all me bits, I'd keep the 97.

I would respectfully suggest you try supporting your local gunshop for kit like accesories, cleaning material and pellets etc. You can always rely on the internet of course, but, I'm keen on supporting good old fashioned gunshops.

 

There are one or two poor robbing sods in the trade that aren't worth your custom of course, but that's their look-out in the end.

 

If the people in your local gunshop are good, friendly and decent and helpful, it's worth supporting their business and they can often return the compliment by helping you out with kit, put a rifle or a scope aside to help you pay for a better gun. Maybe give you a bit of discount into the bargain. Plus you might have what you need there and then, no postage charges and no waiting around for the postie to roll up.

 

All the best.

Read the article on shooting springers on this site it will get those groups down faster than anything else.

[secretagentmole 1,701]

I would suggest Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums as a good starting point.

HW .22s seem to prefer a 5.52mm head, the weight at 14.3 grains is not too heavy, they worked well in my old 77.....

[The one 8,482]
