The MK1 HW80 .22 cal`

[mark williams 7,563]

Not sure if you lads remember but I picked up an untouched MK1 HW80 .22cal some few weeks back.

              I have held back from hunting with her as I like to be very used and confident with any new addition to my cabinet.

              It has taken nearly 3 years to find a good, clean, untouched 80.

             I`m very impressed with her to say the least.

Sorry for the late reply Phill only just seen this, yes I`ve been out a good few times already buddy and I`m very pleased with her as for posting photos, no, not until the GL goal posts stay still.

Hi Phil, are you at odds as to why training/ practice with sub 12 spring piston air rifles or sub 12 pcp rifles, FAC air rifles ,the talk, suggestions, bouncing off each other with advice , pellets, slugs etc is not a major part of disciplined hunting is not clear ?

              The pellet advice, accuracy advice, from this forum, given over the hunting section, to me and others has been superb, to say the least, be a little more positive Phil, nothing was posted to upset anyone.( Cheer up )

              No photos to follow buddy as said I am leaving that just now but please feel free to put some of your sub 12/ fac hunting photos up, - I`ve still to see any of yours, after all these years ?

                                        atb Mark.

Ah sorry Mark, I was not being sarcastic at all, I really wondered if you had not posted some piccies as you normally do.  I did not mean to offend.

I don't post hunting photo's, fac or sub 12 because I don't feel the need, we all do our own thing and mine doesn't include photo's, in fact I wouldn't even think to take a photo but that is just me so don't get so defensive matey, I am not having a dig.

I am still crap with a springer perhaps they simply don't float my boat but have total respect for anyone who is a successful hunter with a springer even you Marko
