I've decided!

So far Fairweather is doing well and I am quite impressed. It's connected well with a couple of items and in this wind we have just now. It is I think with my atec muffler on as quiet if not quieter than my unmodded 22 with HV ammo. It certainly is safer.

The stock is made of pallet wood by the looks but it's looking better as the true builds up on it.

I'm wanting better glass now but want it for nothing! I wish you could get a fixed 7x. 

Any ideas on good glass that ain't going to fleece me?

.22 LR - Great calibre that can't be beaten for silence, but a high ricochet potential due to low velocity and it's failure to fragment the bullet. Sounds like you've seen the light.

Overall, it sounds like we have a new mouseman.

Have a look at the hawke vantage range, you can get a 3-9x50 for about £100 and they have started doing lifetime warranty, I’ve seen second hand ones for about 40 quid

I don't mind, .17's are marmite you either love them or hate them. By contrast .22 lr gets too much love. very versatile but has it's faults.

How can anyone hate such a beautiful little mouse exterminator

Just referring to "heard you've seen..." 

A mere jest

[Alsone 789]

No offence taken Ben. As I said it's marmite. I got the double entendre.

Get someone else to shoot it while you have a listen. I was out a while back with a mate and his HMR and I was amazed how loud it was and I was a fair way away from him.

But there is a reason it's the most popular calibre in the world.
