Re: Using Club pellets?

This is an interesting topic so thank you for starting it... Tins of 500 pellets are CHEAP... Even the good ones are really cheap for 500 shots when compared to quality .22 target ammo. I'm currently using the RWS R10 and they are about $13 A tin here in New Zealand. I'd happily change to other bran...

Re: Grip fitting

Thanks for sending the link to the Rink and other gentleman. Grip fit is everything I would think. How they get a custom fitting grip made without the customers hand in their workshop Id love to know..? Not looking for "clever" replies here. Clearly measurements can be scanned/emailed to R...

Re: Grip molding putty/paste

Hi guys.. Thank you for all the replies. It's really appreciated and goes to show what a great forum this is!! I've just today finished the grip with Kwikwood. It's worked an absolute treat.

Re: Iris..

Hi there..

Thank you for the feedback. I come from 30+ years of smallbore where we aim in the middle...not this damn area aiming nonsense!!..lol focusing on the foresight constantly has been a bit of a mission admittedly. Ill get there....hopefully.

Thanks again and kind regards from New Zealand.
