New Member from Cornwall

#1 Post by rickus »

Hello all

new member from the Lizard in south west cornwall.

Currently have a .22LR for rabbits and a 17 HMR for long range stuff, although the 17 doesn't get out much as the 22 is so effective. 22 is a Suhl 150-1 old target/biathlon rifle, very heavy but a tack driver out to 60m, not shot it much past that range. Mostly do lamping so 60m more than enough.

Have done a bit of target shooting, but looking to get into LSR and get a ruger 10-22 for this.

Also done some Military shooting with service rifle, great fun and hope to be able to do more of this.

keen to start using the longer ranges for the 22 and 17 like the one at zelah (although i don't know any of its details) and do more with the 17 HMR. Will be taking both to Bisley later in the year.

also looking to get an air rifle again, spring this time!

cheers all!

The Suhl 150 is a superb rifle and regardless of weight I would certainly give one house room.
