has anyone patterned an outlander or one of its derivatives ???
I have had two afternoons with the auto shooting rook and pigeon from a hide. Only had four or so birds to shoot at per day, missed more than I hit , I know I am not the best shot BUT I was on most of em but nowt happened. I reckoned it was shooting well under so I had a shot (a safe shot) into a grass bank at thirty five ish yards and absolutely no dust came up above the bead. Not an exact trial I grant you but wow is it shooting low and that's with a pound coin at the back of rib. It has the 50 shim in so obviously I need to change that for a kick off.
anyone got any thoughts / comments. I am hoping someone has patterned one.
ps
gun comes up lovely, balance is good, trigger is not the worst I have ever had. The cluncking of the mechanics takes some getting used too and the recoil in my opinion is no lighter than a break barrel but it feels different as in straight back with little perceivable muzzle flip. Loading is a fumble until I get used to it and the bleeding thing cant half spit empties a long way ? oh it has cycled my 30g fibres without a hitch as expected. All in all I like it. But no more or less than any of my other guns, its a tool for the job and cheap as French fries and the looks are growing on me, a bit like that girl you picked up when you were 19 she looked ok at night but in the morning you weren't too sure but you persevered and had another date and decided she was quite attractive after all........or was that just me ?
