    Generally a post below someone is directed at them, hence my original post that was for moles attention since it was below his, if I'd been asking a question for your attention I'd have actually quoted your post directly or named you. Therefore to clarify, I've actually quoted your post to enable you to understand for whom it's attention it is directed towards this time. No guilt is felt here and my attention span thusly hasn't been dramatically diminished by undaunting thoughts of having committed a faux pas. My level of immaturity is unchanged and I shall endeavour to keep it in

    I gave an honest and true opinion, just as any RESONSIBLE person would have done when you had not named the person you had directed your post to. This forum is NOT you personal messaging page. My response to it was not directed at you so your response to it was unwarranted, insulting and displays a possible level of guilt and immaturity. I sound like a tool? It is better to sound like a tool than be like you and act and write like one!

    Straight answer, yes, and I now have 2 more of the same 0.177s which have all been tuned using the TR Robb kits. I used the old thread so as not to clog up the page with another thread of the same type and point scores do not interest me because they prove nothing of a responders actual skill after the many times I have had failed projects due to inaccurate information from 'helpers'. All the XS79's are used purely for back garden plinking while my main collection are for comps and ranges.

    I have the RM8 in .177 and it is as accurate as my Regal, WH100 FSBKT, in fact as all of my others! It is now fully ran in and is as smooth as silk. Only small problem I have at the moment is that is overpowered with some pellets which I am looking to gain info on to get it adjusted. If Walther can turn out such a great one as this has turned out to be what the hell are the other manufacturers doing to justify their far greater costs of 2 and 3 times? Seems to me that they are ripping off a captive market!

    Agreed, the kit is well made and at a decent price but when I installed it into my new XS79 the new bolt he provided would not allow the bolt handle to lock into the cocked position. I eventually had an idea to loosen the barrel retaining grub screw and then try it again because everything else worked as it should and it would shoot if the bolt was held in place but not down and locked. This time when it was cocked the bolt handle went into its locked position easily but it had also pushed the barrel forwards by 0.035" (35 thou). Logically then the new bolt front is too long!

    Its nice to be back and health a lot better. Anyway I too am having some power problems with my Regal .22, one of the first ones made. The test sheet from DS states it delivers 11.40 over a ten shot test but when I chrono it using DS Sovereigns, which I assume is the pellet they use for their tests because the test sheet does not give the pellet details, the best it can do is 10.3 and that at a fill of 180 Bar. Being honest I prefer to buy British BUT I am becoming very disillusioned with Daystate and now use my other non Daystate's far more. The price Daystate quoted me for a service is unr

    No need for bad language thank you. There are other words to describe things which are disliked. Hardly surprising. I would never had fitted a cheap scope such as the Richter onto any of my full bores, even now with their new and much improved range I would still limit their use to air only and then to those with a proven low recoil action. Personally I just don't see the point in spending more than necessary on a scope that gives no more accuracy than the more expensive ones and I suspect are bought more as a posing point than anything else. I tend to equal or sometimes even outperform som

    Buy cheap? They are not exactly cheap even at the low price I was asked for on an introductory offer for the new range. All of the old range are now discontinued. But no problem, it was only a suggestion for you to try the newer models, even by borrowing one of mine if you lived locally. Its your money and your option not to try them so you will never really know the truth of how much they have progressed. I can remember rifles which were once scorned as being poor and now are in use by many (in competitions too) since they have been developed and improved. Its a thing called progress and it n

    7 or 8 years ago is a long, long time in the world of progress and development. I was of the same opinion and also let a rifle go with the old type/model scope on it in 2009. I then looked at the new range and found to my surprise that the progress they had made in those years since was remarkable so I bought one. After using it for a few weeks and handing it some punishment in open country without loss of zero or anything else (also gone was the weak reticle which had had a mind of its own and moved at the slightest bump) I searched for a review online. That led me to the new Richter Optik

    Go for it and you will not be disappointed. I have now bought another one and fitted it to my LGU too! Bear in mind though that on the Richter Optik website all models are not shown. Mine are not and they are the RI 4-16x50 SFN (side focus) ones which I picked up online for 99.99, usually retailing for 149.00. I am working at the moment on adapting a 100mm side wheel to fit it instead of the 40mm one it has. Should be finished it today with luck then just got to calibrate and mark its edges with distances. I will probably post some pictures of it later.

    Just got to say that that is where any newbies to our sport learn how to be safe and responsible...from we oldies with a wealth of experiences to pass on. I do not doubt that I will enjoy being here too.

    Coffin Dodger....I like it and intend to do so for many more years yet...... Its nice to finally be on a forum where there appears to be none of the nonsense I have experienced on some of the others. Hopefully it will stay this way. Next shoot will be on Tuesday at Kibworth if I can get my right leg to bend enough with the support that is on it now courtesy of Tesco and a wet floor with no warning signs. Please, please, please bend..........

    Deker, Years ago they were a bit poor but I would really suggest that you give the new range a go. Mine latest one is not listed on the Richter Optik website but is a new model and a side focus one too, the RI 4-16x50 SFN, fitted to my HW100 FSBKT, which I got for 99.95 (should have been 149.00) including the side wheel and mounts. Sadly they do not offer a sunshade though and it is a different diameter to any others available. I intend to run one up myself soon though. My 'older' but still new model is the RI 8-32x50 AOE SF which did not come with a side wheel. This is currently fitted to m

    Thank you for the comment. Yes, I can but agree with your sentiment because it is up to all of us of whatever age or experience to impart our knowledge to others willing to learn or better still to those ignorant of our safety record, stringent rules and laws yet spout their own ill informed and factually incorrect rubbish against our sport. Perhaps if the laws and regulations governing our sport were more and better publicized by the government and daily rags we would enjoy a better response from joe public. One day maybe.......

    thanks to all for the welcome to THL. No doubt I will spend many hours here..........

    At 68 I suppose that I will be one of the more 'mature' members and with having scores of years experience in shooting my types and caliber's I have now through my age associated afflictions opted to use only sub 12ft/lb weapons for my own and for the safety of others. I hope I can offer some worthwhile content whilst learning a little more myself via this forum. Onward and onward......

    I have always used top line scopes but recently was given a new Richter Optik RI 4-16 x 50 SFN and after mounting it then having a day on the range soon found that it was very close to the equal of my other scopes including the Mamba and Hawkes. In future I will take more time to read reviews and specs before I take the easy route and waste my money, some were 3 and 4 times the cost, on named brands that offer precious little more usability for me. The build quality was also more than acceptable so they win my future business. For a little over a hundred notes they really are worth a go....
