It's never been touched, it's basically like a new gun. Shooting consistently. I will put seals in soon. Not just yet though fun time first 👍

I put the word out on another forum I was after a unmolested mk2. I had a message there was one in a dealers as of then not even advertised. Soon as they opened Monday I was on the phone to them. It came with a pro stalk scope with risers, but I had the frontier scope and 30mm mounts so it would have been rude not to. 😁

Cleaned the barrel with pull throughs. A bit of molybdenum grease on the bolt, it was a bit dry. Waxed the stock to within a inch or its life. I'm done for now, just going to use it  :)

Been testing pellets in the gun today.
Accupel ok. My mk1 loves them.
Air arms field. Excellent.
Jsb diablo good, not as good as AA.
Think I'll be sticking to AA with this one.
What other pellets do you use in the mk2 out of interest?
