@Matt.............."5" Yards should be ample for your zero mate :sneaky::sneaky::insertevillaughhere::whistle:

Looks like there is plenty of meat in the forehand of the stock to get a bipod stud into mate.:thumbsup:
Will you add a sling to her later on.......or not bother?

yes mate i,ll be adding a sling stud for the bipod at some stage and will prob get a sling as the rifle is a hefty lump to carry around :cool:
 
borrowed a charging kit from @divebuddy ( thanks mate ) and the rifle is now charged and ready for the new scope (come on amazon) some times prime delivery does pay off ....guess what im going to be doing this evening :rofl:
 
new scope fitted :alert:...u can tell its a budget scope :D...but it will do for the next month or so while i save up for some thing better :rolleyes:...

so out to zero the rifle in the back garden :lol::lol:...max distance i got to play with is 19 yrds ..so i set to loading the mags ...after faffing around its apparent one of the mags if faulty :mad::mad: (will take it back to shop and exchange it )

put up target and then had to focus the scope in as couldn't see anything all blurry ...10 mins all done with a nice crisp picture

so set to zeroing the rifle took around 15 shots to get it near enough ....put up a new target and emptied the last 4 shots out of the mag into it ...think it will do :rofl::rofl::rofl:
