HI Billy and Roger , hope You had a good xmas and new year . Yes I got the rifle but have been too busy to reply , I put a Hawke 6-24 sidewinder on it , but the big wheel for the adjustable objective is no good as it fouls the magazine.
I haven't joined a club yet but zeros it at 12 yards in the cellar lol and 1 hole 10 shot groups , ok so far .
Pub restaurant was shut yesterday and I set a backstop up and shot from 25 yes good groupings but they had opened up a little , need more practice .
I'll try some different pellets and let You know how I get on ,
Kind regards,

Paul

Hi Paul, AADF 4.52 is what I use, I've tried a lot of different pellets, but not found anything to beat these. Rog

the small Sidewinder wheel works fantastic on the Ultimate Sporter and does not foul the magazine ..
