You will not regret it.

Shot mine in a 200 yard and 300 yard match on Sunday - gusting wind and still managed a silver at 200 and a silver at 300 up against some very fancy modern rifles !!

Well done for picking up a bargin. I have a Super Sport 5 that will still put in a 1/2 inch group at 50 yards. Its a shame that if you can find a mag for the rifle it will cost more than the gun.
Gun control is hitting the target.

Dont forget the Mini McQueen too - 50m with scaled down targets automatically exposed .2" V-Bull - very challenging !!

Surely a 0.2” v-bull at 50 yards isn’t challenging, it’s pot luck!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Not at all - with my old BSA using Ely Match, I can put 10 rounds into one ragged .5" hole easily. Its inward marking so in my last match I had 5 in the bull and 4 clipping it so a 50.9. Thats off a quality bipod with a rear bag and minimal wind.

I reckon I can do better - will be trying Ely Tenex at some point............
