monkeyjaimz Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 After a little sweet talking and frankly a lot of bull-****ting I managed to get my hands on my 1st Daystate this christmas .177 Air Ranger, Nikko Stirling Platinum Nite Eater 8-32x60, Harris Bipod = a very happy chap. I havent been able to get out for a proper shoot as yet, but have bumped off a few squizzas at work in my spare time, and had a few trips to the target club. I also managed to pick up a night vision monocular from LIDL when I spotted them on sale by pure luck - as above not managed to test it properly, but in the garden (30-40 yrds) at night it performs brilliantly. Just need to get out for a lamping session now when I can find the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyjaimz Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Lovely looking rifle m,j thats a beastly scope sitting on top Cheers Took a lot of persuading with the missus as we're buying a house later this year and getting married next year - my 'theory' is that if I didnt bite the bullet and buy the best rig I can afford now, then I'd never get the chance again for a looooong time. Im hoping to get into Ft and HFT shooting in the future also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
