Hmmm if you read the whole post you would have noticed this:-


Yep it has a Simmons 6-18x40AO Air Gun Compatition scope on it and NO foresight . I put a cap on the thread as the muzzle is threaded to take a Sound Moderator (silencer) but I have not acquired that little gem yet .

The 6x42 that was original planned does not have a long enough body tube to get the eye relief right I so robbed this one off a BSA Supersport Five .22 L/R. it will have to do for now although I am thinking of robbing a Pecar 3-7x36 off a BSA Monarch in .270 until I can get another scope.

Ahhh I get it now you saw the 1100Lwt and thought it was the 25-06. I only posted the photos of that in response to the comment on the wood as the 1100 has nice grain one side but is quite plain the other side while the newly acquired 1200C has the tiger stipping on both sides.

Were do you live that you can shoot behind your house?

well we have 6 acres and no real near neighbours with lots of farmland out back. This photo was taken from my 70 yard point:-


I have straw bales with a steel plate behind them as a backstop. I originally set up the straw wall for my Achery to catch the arrows and added the steel plate to catch the bullets that make it through the straw...
