New house

[philpot 5,017]

Yesterday we popped to the next village to look at a bungalow as we at last have some strong interest in our cottage.  For those of you who have been to our cottage will know that Trish and I love old properties, this one is almost 300 years old so to look at a pretty new bungy was not in  keeping with our style but this bungy will not need a thing doing to it for the rest of our lives if we can get past the fact that it is newish.  So why am I telling you guys about a new bungy...................well I took my laser rangefinder with me and I can get a clear 40yds rifle range in the back garden, for some of you that is no big thing but for me, I have a 15yd cottage garden so to have that extended distance is a massive bonus.  As it is pretty rural, I can use my .22 Wildcat fac to check zero before even going out as well as  pellet testing or to zero my .22 rimmy if needed once I build a serious pellet stop at the bottom of the garden.

As I get older, the thought of being able to sit outside and shoot my sub 12 all day at a variety of targets and distances has a certain appeal. I know we are not ready to buy the property yet until our cottage is finalised and of course many things can go wrong but it would be nice not to think of any work to be done to the house AND a cracking rifle range outside..........hmmmm.

That is something that has been on the agenda for me for a few years now. Something always scuppers my plans :-). Funnily enough just before reading this post I had got the urge to put a few rounds through one of my prized possessions. Just goes to show you cannot put a spring powered air rifle away for a few years and expect decent groups when you next pick it up. Won't say the range, embarrassingly close, hence the desire for a bigger garden. If I'd went for chest cavity them antelopes would have dropped though.
