"Action' is "Air".
That should do it!
Shall I send them a FAX?

G'day makrand
how are you ? ,
mate it is very smooth
(was expecting more than that)
it is quiet , (i was expecting , it would be louder)
hard to say what i expected from the R9 , you read all the comments and hype ,on it and mate they are spot on
at one stage i was starting to think that , this is still just a air rifle , after all the research , mate it really is a nice machine
hey is it just a optical illussion or do they have short barrels (R9) where is the tape measure???
i am off to some more sight work in back yard

G'day all
here are the results of first session , i know people have better groups , but its been a good 20 plus years since i shoot open sights , but i have discovered a flaw in my plan , when i sight down through the sights i actually look over the top of my glasses (yes i am a four eye
) and can't focus to well on target
this was at 10 metres
oh and i place another 6mm on top of the 12mm ply wood , and no pass through
now where is Lewis ,
how are you ? think i need some mounts for that BSA ? that i got
what are your recomendations

G'day all
complete pass through of 12 mm ply at 18 metres
" jbs exact "
what is this going to do when settled in ??????
