I can tell he has the skill to use a 12ft pound and not need excess power to hide behind. Tongue

Do you think a 4x32 scope is ok for target field shooting? I was thinking about getting a powerful scope something like a 12x or 16x

Good to see the masses are awake and switched on huh :)

Don't try and up sell him pauly, the BSA is probably so underpowered it'd be fine for 12ft/lb, you're just worried that he'd beat you with a 4x32 scope lol

I'm certainly not an expert on everything but if you are keen on Field target you should try and hook up with one of the clubs and you will get to see what you like and even try other guns.
There's a club in W(h)anganui and one in Wellington. Wgtn range is on hold at the moment and there's a world champ competition taking place in September in Wellington, so plenty of opportunity to see some good gear and skills.
Do plenty of reading about rifles and maybe consider getting your FAL.

There are spring powered and pcp (pre charged pneumatic - air tank) to choose from.
Names such as Weirauch, Air arms, Styer, Walther, Daystate, FX and more. Check out Magair, Youngs air gun and others but that should keep you glued to the screen for a while.

Enjoy.

Once the illness sets in you can justify buying one of each type, possibly multiples. Then you can start on new scopes. Your future looks good young master Shaqa.

100meters might be too far. It has only got a 3x9 Gamo type scope on it, would that be ok for target field shooting?

Sounds perfect for field target and maybe even small game hunting!

I've got an old Ox spring I could sell you if you ever wanted the power for 100meter target shooting...
