My new (old) little .177 bullpup.

Took Elly out for her first bit of rabbit control tonight.

Was a cold night, but not raining, so I went for a walk around a new permission.
With a thermal scope on Elly I set off with my shooting sticks, head light, double layers of tracksuit pants and Stoney ridge fleeces and a spare little mag in my back pocket.

I should have put the whole tin of JSB exacts into my back pocket because I ran out of ammo half way round my lap of the paddocks 😡.
I could easily have taken twice as many rabbits if I had more pellets with me.
I lost count somewhere around 10, but I think the final number of bunnies left sleeping in the darkness was around 14.

Not bad for just over an hours work/walk.
Definatly need to plan a few more visits back to this new permission.

Managed to zero the scope today after work.
I’m really chuffed with this group 👍🏻
I think I get some bragging rites 😂
7 shot group at 25m with JSB exact 8.44gr
CTC 6mm

So I’ve named my little S510. I’ve called her Elly.
I needed to get some super high rings which have taken a while to get, but eventually I got them.
I’ve just fitted a 6-24x50 FFP scope, on the super high QD rings, might be a bit of an overkill, but it’s a nice scope and I’m happy with it.
Now all I need is somewhere to go shoot where I can zero the scope. It sucks living in the middle of town and not being able to shoot in my back yard.

The stock was built by a very clever guy up north. He is an engineer and made all the metal work which includes scope rail/ airtube clamps and trigger linkage.
Stock was originally made to convert a Marauder rifle into a bullpup for a while, but later adapted slightly to accomodate this AA S510.

Very nice, who built the stock?

Here she is. Quite a sexy little thing I do say.
An Air Arms S510 FAC, although at the moment she is not at FAC power levels.
She is currently set at about 12fpe.
But as the above pic shows, she can hold a pretty tight group.

Here are some groups I shot with my Mk2 Impact.

7 x 4 shot groups at 50m. Inside, so no wind, but great accuracy for rabbits



And here's another group shot through a Sytong HT60 with an Edgun Matador.

What's the prize for the correct answer?
