It's a lot smaller than I'm used to but for whacking vermin at 50yds+ it is ideal, it's a suppressed BSA Ultra SE .22 Cal (10 round multi-shot)
I've spent a few hours zeroing it and collecting data at various ranges and angles and am happy to report that with the 4-12 x 50 scope fitted a first round head shot at 50yds is a piece of piss (and if on the odd occasion the first round doesn't do the job then there are of course another 9 rounds in the mag to fall back on) and with the new moderator fitted it barely makes a sound
The scope reticules are illuminated at the turn of a switch for night shooting but I'm also going to have a play around with a couple of my night vision/TI scopes to see if any of them are compatible, I think a bit of stalking over the next few evenings might be in order.
Clearly it's no .338 or .50 Cal but to be fair for what it is it has a good amount of punch, easily penetrating tennis balls at 50yds
This is one of the little feckers' that I'd been seeing on and off for a few weeks, it actually had a good feed off the rat traps without setting any of them off!!
So it would seem that he was a dab hand at defeating rat traps.....though not so good at avoiding axes
I also picked up a stock mounted bi-pod that I still need to fit and a big dive bottle in order to keep re-charging it to its full 200psi
It's been a bit of a learning curve as my shooting position has had to be adapted due to having no vision in my right eye, however as there are no cases to eject and with it having zero recoil it's actually pretty easy to fire left handed. It's also quite a forgiving stock that gives enough leeway to enable me (if I need to) to tilt my head all the way over and fire right handed but using my left eye
I'm not planning on digging out my ghillie suit just yet but these little sods are certainly in for a bit of 'Berenger' justice
