I got this one on Friday, still getting to know her but plenty of promise:

Jeez, you missed a few, is it that bad??

The stock on them is as substantial as a centrefire, the trigger is excellent for a sporting rifle and the barrel seems very good indeed.

I don't think I can bring myself to get this one screw cut and so will probably be looking for another .22 in due course.

Those groups were shot at 50 m and in every case where the group isn't a ragged hole I felt I pulled the shot, can't wait to take it out to 100m but I was so impressed with it that I stuck the Zeiss victory 6-24x56 from my 243 on it to test th accuracy
the trigger on my 201 is a double set trigger, once set the release is, shall we say, insubstantial! yet it has managed to survive lots of jolting and banging around in a truck whilst rabbiting without once releasing accidently! very impressive. the finish on mine is not as immaculate as Flashies and the stock bedding needs sorting out, but overall a nice rifle and in WMR a good choice for bunnies and the occassional .223 resistant fox :p

At least 3 of the targets are clear!

Oh right. :D

That's because I didn't shoot at them, I ran out of the RWS match ammo. :D

You don't fancy selling me that double trigger do you Kenny?

Dear, sweet, generous Kenny... :D
