trying to stick a pellet in either ps or tx with cold hands is a Fcukin nightmare

That's my only gripe with my tx, 97 far better.

Went to buy a few little whips an some maggots and stuff to take the kids an nephew fishing earlier today, popped j to Glasgow angling, (field sports) had a look at a few of the air rifles, deffo gonna go with the 97 black line I think, I told the guy I’d have one an went to go look at scopes an he starts taking about licenses, my mistake I’ll buy one tomorrow when j get home or tonight on web once I get settled in hotel, anywhere online I can look at the rifles an scope an everything at same place 

Avalon guns, somerset.  Have a look there katch.  My eldest lad, and my brother in law have had a couple of very good deals there.  Complete setups, new, used, second hand.  All brands and budgets.

I went for a stainless finish because I'll admit I actually thought the bloody thing was stainless. However it looks amazing and I mean amazing in Walnut, pics to follow when it's finished being... Errr.. Finished... 

But the playing is not great on my 97KT and the bluimg on the docking leaver retainer is pants it's all oily...

Its not the HW I had when I was a kid and its taken a lot of fettling to get it shooting as good as a breaker LGV..... Mmmm..... That beasty looks like it'll suffer the same finish inconsistencies as my 97  KT Stainless IMHO... I came very close to sending it back... 

But I took it to bits so I couldn't.. 

I must have been that naive thinking it was stainless steel.

Probs totally wasted on me mate I can’t even remember how to zero a scope properly but I’ll have a bash an see how I get on,  then I let some targets set up at diff ranges an get some pellets in it an hopefully get bit hunting done with it if I can hit targets

An ex soldier like you .... cmon man you must remember the marksmanship principles and making sure your CZP and MPI are correct.

Ok let’s start you off ....

1. the position and hold must be firm enough to support the weapon.
