    one of the easiest cheats I have found is to take the boresighter with you...fire 3 rounds, then UNLOAD rifle...insert borescope and move Xhair however far it needs to go in correct direction (easy when you looking at a grid through scope) REMOVE BORESIGHTER,there is some good photos of a banana skin barrel floating around the net when this was neglected to be done.... and then recheck...

    Thought I'd get into rifle golf (PRS). This is the result.

    Howa 1500 heavy barrel Stainless in 6.5CM, MDT XRS, Bushnell XRS2 4.5-30, UTG Recon flex m-lok bipod (see how long this stays). I'm in love with the XRS, absolutely awesome fit for me, I'm toying with a cerakote job on it to make it more tacticool.

    Weight: A metric f*uk ton.

    Tidy little CZ455 American .22LR I picked up for our daughter in law. S & B fixed 6x I got from here. I had it shortened to 18” and suppressed.

    Moved to the dark side of airguns.

    "I maybe travelling to NZ in near future and I have absolutely no need for this, should spend money to pick up something when I am there, I don't need more airguns". These were the sane thoughts going through my mind when I was thinking about getting this but still I pulled the trigger (Pun)

    I think I am insane and addicted

    This is a made in INDIA PCP called Bhim .177, 10shot, 650cc cylinder capable of doing 350 shots in one fill. I consider myself to be a "Walnut and blued steel man" but this will be fully customised and will be made fully "Psychedelic", custom stickers on cylinder, skull Hydrographics on stock

    What is your accuracy like with the short barrel?
    Do you use fine or coarse salt?
    Average penetration?

    Well it's actually hard to miss with the red dot on the end of the barrel.........no rock salt, just the fine iodised table salt.....kills em stone dead, but thankfully keeps em in one piece.....

    My first non-air gun. Sauer 100 in 6.5cm. Unboxed it and promptly drew blood with it. Learned not to cycle the bolt with my right hand while holding it left handed because that hurts! Lol
