I love the low power fixed scopes. Usually as much power as you'll ever need, lighter and handier. I'll have to keep them in mind.

Re: Variations on a theme Range test

Short range session. Not for accuracy but for function. It went bang every time I pulled the trigger and ejected "with authority", accuracy was minute of small rock and broken clay pigeon.Great job, Tim.  ;D    Doug

Excellent!!  ;D I put one of my custom ejector improvements in it, a short machine screw that helps keeps the spring straight while the head works to add spring tension like the BB trick. Glad it worked good for ya Doug, just don't put yer eye out!!!  :o :D
