Myson- I bought it second hand, so I unfortunately don’t know her full history.
I’ve put about 100 pellets through her so far. Billbob— Russian mistress 😂😂😂 During the many years I was a trails guide in Big 5 country, my wife used to call my .458Lott my “other wife” because she was with me 24/7 for days/weeks on end while out on trail 😂 Mercs - correct, a gamo “recoil reducing rail”…hummm 🤔. I needed a few more mm height, so it was selected for the honor of residing on Lady Di 😂 I’ve got a few tins of Exact in my pellet collection. Edited by RangerPete - 05 May 2024 at 4:33pm |

From a new setup thats very nice 30 metre group.
Nice looking rifle. I note what might be a gamo rail used as a riser, knew they had to be good for something. Beautiful day with a bit of time working up a new air rifle, has to be good for the soul. Are the Exact 15.89's available again or already on hand?

Great group at 30m Pete!
Approximately, how many pellets have gone through the barrel? And have you ever cleaned the barrel? It's looking like a "keeper" for sure!

Tried to mount a scope onto Lady Di yesterday. Trying out some adjustable height, one piece mounts.
They seem to work well. Took her to the range today to try get her Zeored. JSB exact 15.89gr pellets at 30m, best group was 3 shots, 1 hole, and then a fairy tight 5 shot group. I’m happy with that for now. Need to spend a lot more time with her. Something to look forward to 😉 |

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