It's grouping nicely tonight.

30 ft standing. No scope, no red dot, no stiffening jacket, just iron sights and the mk1 eyeball.

Are you shooting in your home? I'm trying to think of a place I could shoot indoors without an idiot animal walking onto the range

If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

Not with the Meteor, there's no silencer, the Police would give me a visit about the noise.

The Meteor I only use on the range, it's really loud. Power is just under the legal limit for use without a firearms certificate.

Back in the day BSA were one of the companies making Lee Enfield's under licence, the sniper rifle ones were all made by Birmingham Small Arms. Really good gun makers.

I shoot targets at home with the BSA Ultra SE as it is suppressed, but it knackers up the pellet catchers if I don't stuff them with tags first to cushion the impact. I've destroyed a couple so far.

I also have a wooden backstop to protect the wall, I sometimes use suppressed air pistols in the house too.

The red dot helps.
