Title: Red nutter birthday present
Post by: dk1677 on May 14, 2025, 11:09:34 AM
A red decided to make a birthday gift this morning by raiding my bird feeder. 30 yards with the 850 and a RWS SHP.                                       (https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54519301810_b3dff571e0_k.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2r4FF1f)red51425 (https://flic.kr/p/2r4FF1f) by David (https://www.flickr.com/photos/150676152@N05/), on Flickr

Nice present indeed Dave!  Great shooting on that fast elusive red devil. 

It's amazing you are still using your 15+ year old Hammerli 850.  Has it had any leaks?

My 850 has had no leaks either come to think of it and I got it in 2008.  The only issue is that it empties the 88gr bottle faster than before like in 3-4 days if I don't use all the CO2 in one session.  It used to last several weeks so there is a seal on its way out.  I need to get the CO2 adapter to use the 12g.  The 88g are too expensive.
