    A pair of good quality sidecutters or secateurs helps cut the feet off which makes pulling the cape off after gutting a whole world easier.

    Awesome, if you you didn't miss it wouldn't be air guning lol

    Look up artillery hold (if you don't already use this) and you will be surprised how this technique improves your accuracy in the field. Also relax and take your time, anytime I miss is when I've rushed the shot.

    Yeah I gave the artillery hold a try which definitely helped with accuracy but still wasn't the most amazing shooting though.

    One more thing to check, remove the stock and check the breech cross bolt it tight, if there is any movement here can throw the accuracy out

    To be honest the rifle leaves much to be desired. I'm not too sure if its me, the rifle or the pellets that are being used but I can't seem to get it to group consistently even when using a bench rest. I'd like to think I would have got more rabbits if I had a rimfire

    The Svord is great. Made easy work of the meat
