I nipped around to my parents earlier and my dad had dug out my brothers old air rifle (it's a .22 cometa of some description fitted with the obligatory cheapo mid 90's scope). It turned out that this renaissance of interest in airguns was a result of our dear friend buggs making an appearance in the garden and as a result I was greeted with something along the lines of "I don't suppose you've got any pellets that will go in this have you?". As it so happened I had approximately a quarter of a tin of accupell (a pellet I've never had good results from) in cold storage in the shed. I duly off loaded these on him with the warning that he was unlikely to be able to put a grouping in the size of his garage door and possibly worse due to the accupell To prove my point I decided I should prove to him that the setup wasn't up to shooting at live targets (I'd rather do a demo of cyyyrap shooting than risk wounded quarry). The end result of this fools errand is that I put 5 shots in a 10mm group freehand with what I thought was a cheap and nasty piece of Spanish rubbish that hasn't been fired (or cleaned) in at least 15 years using pellets I don't rate admittedly it was only at about 20 yards but having only shot pcp's recently what can I say?
It seems to have created an itch that needs scratching and I have a horrible feeling it may be the start of a bad case of "springeritus" ! My local RFD has a second hand tx in .22 as well as a couple of new prosports and all of a sudden my wallets feeling very hot and weighing heavily in my pocket Please please good people of the AAOC talk me out of doing something the missus will (very much) make me regret

Now that sounds like a plan, I get to buy the rifle I'm dreaming of, the wife never knows and the gun gets to be appreciated in it full glory. As it sounds I can't fault it, it's just for some reason I've got this nagging doubt someone's missing out on something some where
