My daughter just got the invitation to come to the induction day at my club on the 9th of October. One very happy little girl. Just so happens that I'm one of the guys running the induction day so I think her chances of getting in are pretty good. Given that the news has her bouncing off the walls I can't wait to see what she's like when I tell her I bought a rifle for her to use.
Well if it's as accurate as my S510 she will be out shooting you pretty quickly
The MOD 48's are good, nice to see you have finally come over to the right way of thinking in calibre as well

This rifle just filled in a lot of "wants": I wanted a Diana made rifle, I wanted a side lever and I wanted one .22. As I've said before there is quite a thing growing around shooting with open sights and I've enjoyed the couple of competitions I've done at that. The iron sights are missing on the 48 but I've ordered a new set and I can see myself using this rifle strictly for that.
Missed this before, well done G After a lot of messing about about I got the TX working again or the 'Bitch' as I now affectionately call her. You'll have to have a go with that

You'll have to have a go with that Cheers mate. I do like the TX, even if not quite as much as my HW97. Remind me; is your's the full length rifle or the carbine?
Had a fun competition at the club today. Round 1 was with 10m pistol and some silly targets (small pictures of Santa etc), two points for a perfect shot, one for a more marginal hit. I managed a pretty poor 13x40, though I should say that this was on the higher end of the score chart. My mate, who shoots at a pretty high competition standard managed a much better 22x40, despite opting to shoot with a Crosman 2240.Round 2 was up at the HFT course; 20 targets, kneeling or standing depending on personal preference. I have to say I had a pretty bloody good round at this coming back with 33x40. That beat a good few PCP shooters and was the top score with a spring rifle. Combined scores put me in 5th place out of about 20 shooters. Anyway, the main aim was to have fun and in that regard it was a total success.
Here's one for you Smashie. My mate has gotten very into the idea of open sights shooting and so has put some diopter sights on his Tx200 carbine. We were shooting at our indoor range tonight and I asked if I have a go. I was stunned by shooting this five shot group at 25 yards! That's less than a 5p sized group with open sights. The guy who owns the TX was looking at my hits though a spotting scope and couldn't quite belive what he saw.
