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

hey Hair Bear,
does that mean "smooth, quiet" or quite smooth?

G'day makrand
how are you ? ,
mate it is very smooth :D (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 :D
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 :D


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 :D :D :D

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 :D ) and can't focus to well on target :(
Image

this was at 10 metres
oh and i place another 6mm on top of the 12mm ply wood , and no pass through :D

now where is Lewis ,
how are you ? think i need some mounts for that BSA ? that i got :D :D
what are your recomendations

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