He is not kidding Jon he was hitting the little bell at 60mtrs not 60 yrds shot for shot with the 35 mate he could not miss if he tried to mate its nice to cock even better to shoot next to no recoil if any . i would say he is a crap shot but after seeing him shoot that 97 with two of the best shots with a 97 iv seen out hunting on Marks land i cant say that lol, I think its a case of the rifle is to light for him with the PS it was the for hand as the stock was to wide for him so it did not sit right in his hand ...thats not the issue with the 35 as the four hand on the 35 is thin I think its to light for him just my opinion mind atvbjimmy 1 1 Quote Link to post

Lol its going to a young lad so I might have to shorten the rear for him if he wants to use a scope! besides that trauma the the 510’s ace 1 Quote Link to post

I reckon both rifles would benefit from an adjustable cheek piece and butt pad. Quote Link to post
