22 gamo

[LoneRider]

what do ya think ?
came up alright i reckon.
my nephew should be suitably happy with it.

[fenring]

Is that an older one you've done up?

[LoneRider]

yup,its an old 600 custom i picked up.
bit of a polish,bit of cleaning and oiling and a blow treatment on the stock.
the scope and rings i got from lewis.

[fenring]

I think your nephew should be very happy!

[palla]

What scope did you put on it? Looks the goods.

[LoneRider]

its branded as "sportview" 3-9x32ao.
lewis can confirm this....im not 100% certain.
the koreans printed the info on the underside of the scope body
which makes it hard to read.

I've got a 3-9x40 on mine purchased from Lewis & find it adequate on my Gamo CFX .177 & have confirmed kills out to 50m multiple times.

Im very happy with the setup.

looks sweet as loner . did you blue that wee rifle ? nice & black , it really stands out .

[LoneRider]

no blueing DK,i just rubbed in some oil to get at the very fine surface rust that was starting to come on.
i didnt want to strip it down far enough to blue,it really didnt kneed it.
the original coating of the gamo stock was so dry you could take it off with your finger nail,so it had to go.
its been sitting in an old blokes safe with very little use since new.
hes selling up and moving and wanted to get rid of it.didnt want the extra hassle transferring it and his licence to nsw.

I agree with DK, it does look good.

I reckon you’ll find the Sportview 3-9x32 will be made by Bushnell. I got one of these from Chris Thomas on this site last October, and it now lives on the hunter class club gun. It is a nice little scope.

This is a generic pic from the net of one…….

Well done LR. The lad should be very happy!

it really doesnt take much work to get a crusty looking gun in decent knick to look smashin again.
