Hi I've just joined and shoot a 56TH and a blue laminate 97, The 56 is my pro gun for rabbits and hares, it's heavily tuned. Please contact me if you want any tuning advice on the 56. I'm in Nelson |

I had a 56TH and it had PCP like accuracy, very heavy but very cool!

Lovely looking guns. I did try a 56 th a few years ago, but didn't gel with it, and owned a BAM copy, which I liked, but I just preferred my 97K, and sold it.
Ultimately I probably didn't spend enough time with them. And one must spend time with ones springer for the best of results.

Yes 100% I have been waiting for a Chinese BAM copy to come up down here that I can use

Myson… hopefully next week I’ll get to spend some time with her, and a chronograph.
But just to get her shooting I went stright to my go to pellet, JSB exact, which in .22cal weighs 15.89gr. She seems to like it 😂. Further testing to follow. Billbob… luckily I have a soft spot for bullpups, but it would be such a pity to waste that gorgeous thumbhole stock! |

You will probably want to hunt me down and give me a wacking.... But I've always wanted to turn one of those into a bullpup!!
Now I better run.... Haha Flipping nice guns |

Love your choice of air rifles Pete!!! Great guns!
 What are your group sizes at 30yds or so? Have you already identified the best pellet for your barrel? What Muzzle Velocity do you have? Although they are heavy, a good fence-post rest or similar, cancels that problem eh? Thanks for the info...

Oh, and I've named her.
I believe all good things should have names, so as the biggest, prettiest and most prestigious of all the Dianas, I've named her Lady Di.
