Back in the day. I killed a lot of paper to work my way up to these. Nothing wrong with target shooting. Bugs, grass blades, aspirin, smarties candy. You name it I shot it.







Sold all my fancy Pneaumatic guns years ago.

Not hard to believe... my little 24 is really a sweet shooter. If it wasn't for the trigger in the R7 I think it would be just about as good. This rifle helped me come down from the magnumitis I was experiencing for a while, and made me appreciate pleasant little guns that happen to be highly accurate.



I might send this little pup in for a tune one of these days. I don't know how many miles it has. Shoots in the high 400s but just stacks them up.

After I got my R9 I thought: "Well that should do it, that gun will be all that I ever need."  After a while I started thinking how nice it would be to have a simple little gun...quick and easy...iron sights. Grab, easy cock, load, crack open the door...aim...thup....plop...fine 10 meter shooting and more pecans for me.  Seems like every day now I am thinking Diana 240 Schutze...sigh...sure would like to take Diana for a walk, maybe sit under a tree together, hold her hand. Sigh...sigh.  So if I had my R9 and Lil'  Diana Schutze then that should be all that I ever need.  Right?
