If you are after small groups then Elay Match or Lapua Centre-X are your friend.
This is my first ten shots through my finnfire p94s at 25 meters kneelin position using eley match

Sounds like a few of you guys have been putting serious amounts of rounds through your/your clubs finnfires.
Have you needed any spare parts? Ejection springs are said to need replacing on rimfire central forum.
I see brownells do replacement firing pins for £15.
The J&P replacement springs are eye wateringly expensive I notice!
What would you estimate your round count to be? Mines a bit of a safe queen, so I would think it to have shot somewhere in the low thousands in my hands, but it's second hand, so could have done any amount of work really!

My dad's had a fairly easy life bashing bunnies for the last 10 years. the last year or so however it's been to our club for almost all probationers to learn to shoot on averaging roughly 100 rounds a night twice a week. give or take.
I'd say at this point it's probably shot in the region of 10-15,000 rounds. 20,000 at absolute most.
No signs of wear, yet.

SK Pistol Match is popular with LWSR shooters at our range.

My original finfire seems to like eley club or eley subs but finding it difficult round here to get any club, so just testing with std cci at the moment
