Who in their right mind at 68 years of age with a slightly dicky ticker is going to sell a rifle that still permits the owner to shoot three five round groups one after the other for an average of 0.512" - the best being 0.350" - at 90 yards?

 

I'd say a 68 year old with another hornet that's just as good may as well consider it! Top up the pension and all that! :lol:

They're totally different animals. I've rebarrelled mine because it was shot out and I fancied a change. Wymberley is selling his because he's got two and he wants to buy a car. There's certainly nothing wrong with the .22H - I've been S******** bricks for months wondering if I've made the right decision going for a .17. I still don't know the answer to that question yet, but the .22 is going to take some beating!

They do crack a bit, but a mod makes quite a difference. They make quite a boom for the size of the cartridge.

 

Stand a hundred yards or so away, not as bad as you think.

 

Horses around me don't jump, cows don't stampede. Chickens peck at my feet as I shoot. They are use to it. No worse than thunder!

The more people are shielded from bangs in the country the worse they will react when they see you!

 

Just my opinion, no need for any one jump on my head :)
