I just worked out the secret to shooting small groups! Cover the shots you don't want with masking tape

Yep LR, I am now the proud owner of Chris L's 1980 FWB 124s, and you should have seen the smile on my dial at the range today!

Smallest group at 25m with my forward hand cradled by a sandbag.........

I learnt a bit about how it likes to be held, and the group shown above was with a medium firm hold. Gentle holds open up the groups to just over an inch. Very firm holds seem to have the groups around 1 inch. So it likes a cuddle, not a strangle.
The trigger is very nice, and the rifle is very smooth to shoot. I had a ball.
And once again, dealing with Chris L was a joy. He offered me the scoped FWB at an irresistably good price, then threw in pellets, bag, sling, pretty much all the bits and pieces, loaded me up with additional gear for the juniors at my local club (slings, resettable targets, pellet trays and more), we had an excellent chat, and he crowned it all by handing me a stubby of Coopers!
Life is very good, and Chris is an absolute gent. Thanks again Chris!
Thanks again Chris!
