good kill Jeff I just can't seem to get a rabbit I got all kinds of birds rabbits just know when I'm about I think....

Looks like the little gun is earning a living.Just goes to prove you dont need to spend megga bucks to have a decent hunting tool.
What barrel is the gun fitted with?,Must be a decent one as 35 yard head shot is a really good shot.

Good quality for a standard barrel then.Makes you wonder if all the hype about fitting custom rifled barrels is mainly just an advantage in 10 metre target shooting,And hunter field target.

that little gun shot well above its weight there Jeff. Nice shot.

Is there a sight you'd recommend, for a standard .22?

they are just a cheap set of 4x32 sights, they are spot on for close range, i cant see the point of paying more for a set of sights than the gun cost, cant get any cheaper than mine a friend gave me them ha ha, jef

 

[whipcrackdeadbunny]

too right. ta.

[mckee]

brilliant shot jeff

Very nice shot. Is shooting game from a car legal in the UK? It is illegal in all the states I have lived in in the US.

There are no standard sights really, it all depends on what you want from the scope and the kind of shooting you will be doing and in what conditions. If you want a good all round piece of glass then you don't get a bad Bushnell. If you fancy spending a bit more cash I have heard good things about the new Falcon scopes, and then if you want to splash out then there's the Swarovski's etc. It's always worth spending that bit more on the scope, as a rule of the thumb spend the same on your scope as you do on your gun. Second hand is often the way to go!

Most important thing, and if you knew this already I don't mean to insult your intelligence, is that on a spring piston air rifle the jarring motion of the piston can allegedly ruin a scope that's not designed to handle it. It's just on those kinds of airguns but I'd hate to see somebody ruin an expensive scope

EDIT: oh and [email protected] Jeff!! is there anything you can't shoot?!

 

[NoSugarRob]

yep. i had a BSA Supersport 12 foot pounds power. had a Tasco Gold Antler 3 - 9x 40 scope in a one piece mount, the recoil broke the cross hairs. its because a spring gun recoils in two directions.

You cant beat a good little gas gun, they are light and dont move when you shoot them, and can be left all day while hunting with having to release a spring, and no cocking sound, jeff
