christened the new toy

[22-250jock]

Christmas came early yesterday

my archer finally arrived yesterday morning..................sods law, the mrs was out, so it was returned to the post office.........

.any way bless her little cotton socks, she gets in from picking the youngest up from school and pops along there just before it closed, so it was sat on the table when I got in from work

now after being rained off 3 times already this week, I didn't have time to faff about moving the scope forward etc, so it was just slapped on there, which only took ten minutes...........quick bit of grub down my neck...........then the boy and me were out the door like a pair of scalded cats

now my mate has a 'C' grade, this is a 'D', so I was expecting a few spots............ tbh I had to look real hard to find any.......two tiny tiny tiny spots on the very edge of the picture, you just barely see them if you search for them:thumbup:

so with the rain due by 9 we had a quick ride round on the polaris, out for three hours and didn't see bugger all, until we were thinking of giving up..............then a quick flash of eyes and this fella was right out in the middle of the field..............didn't stand a chance to be honest


180 yrds with the 22-250,

now just need to move the scope forward and add the extra but spacer, job done

so managed to christen it on its first outing.............one happy bunny

I can completely understand the excitment when something new turns up. Men will always be boys hey

Good shooting mate just a shame we won't get to see any footage

as I said, didn't think we were going to get one.............it was a last resort calling into that field on the way back to the yard, paid off though
cant wait till the keeper on the neighbouring estate gets his thermal, should make for some good nights

Nice going mate, which archer did you go for? And how do you find it on the front of the scope? What scope you put it on?

hi Gaz

went for a 'D' grade, was originally going to go for a 'C' but Julian said there would be little, if no difference. compared it to my mates 'C' on Friday night and he was right(if anything, to my mates disgust it better than his)
fitted to my sightron S111 8-32x56, lovely clear picture and the side focus works perfectly

just need to move the scope forward a tad now and add a 40mm spacer to the AI stock and it should be sorted

cheers jock
