A couple targets from my new Versa.

Just bought a Versa barrel from Wreckhog, and this was my first real tryout.  I like it!

That's how my versa shoots too. I love it. It'll shoot good with just about anything I feed it too. ;D
Did you scope yours? I'm still using the irons on mine.

I put a cheap Simmons "22mag" scope on it.  The dual reticle makes a perfect hold over at 100 yds, so it has worked out well.  I had 5 different types of ammo to try, but left one of my range bags behind by accident.  All I had was the Federal 333 bulk packs.  I want to try it with some Aquila or Eley (same thing?) match in it just for giggles.

 ;D Yesterday I was at the range to dial in a couple of VP barrels that I put on CF receivers. One with irons, one with Simmons 4x32 Blazer. The iron sighted one was pretty consistent (and high) at 20 yds, so I put it aside for the scoped VP. Started at 20 yds, then took it to the 50yd range where I hung a couple of golf balls from the target frame. After a few shots to get on the target and dope the wind I had two .22LR rounds (Federal bulk) left to shoot at the golf balls. First shot winged the first golf ball and it swung around like crazy. Last shot took the second golf ball and made it disappear like it was blasted by Capt. Kirk's phaser! After several minutes of searching I found it about 10 yds away in the grass at the foot of the berm. It had been hit pretty much center and broke the fishing line that I used to suspend 'em and flew away... awesome ;D.

Love those VP barrels!

By the way, I have 3 VP barrels and two of them have two different heights of front sight. One is really high, and the other seems like the normal sort of sight I've had on other Handi barrels. The one I was shooting yesterday is the one with the 'medium' sight. Anybody else have high and/or medium sights on theirs? (Barrel #3 has no sights - they're on order and I'm waiting for 'em.)

I'm gonna start a new topic, with pics of my VP sights, so I don't hijack this one...  ;) here it is: http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,210128.new.html#new

Regarding the Aguila/Eley (same thing?),
I believe the 'Eley priming' method is done on the Aguila, and some others, under a contractual agreement. The ammo itself isnt made by Eley at all.

I assumed some connection, but I did not know what....thanks.
