BSA #2 MK IV* 22. Trainer Range Report

[Ovidio]

Nice thing she is!
The only thing not ok is the trigger, very gritty.
All the rest works fine
I needed a few rounds to get on target at 50 metres. With a big 16” target.
The first shot I could put on paper was at 9’o clock, far outside. That, after raising the rear sight quite a bit.
I shot another round and landed in the same spot, so I started adjusting the windage. Once in the bullseye, she stayed there.
I then put an 8 inch target and adjusted for elevation within a few rounds.
After that, even firing relatively fast, I kept around the bullseye without effort.
That with Fiocchi “Semi Auto” ammo.
I switched to Winchester “Super Speed”. At 50 metres, they landed a couple inches higher. Adjusted, and then it got almost boring.
Great toy.
I’ll make a nice job on the trigger in the coming weeks, then I’ll have a great shooter in my hands.
Next toy will be her sister with the Garand sights.
