    I agree with Mitch's comments above. I bought a Swift Stumpy for a rifle but dont remember which but they are not bad at all and I did have it on my FX Streamline which was very quiet. I did try it on my HW110k as a test, not as quiet as the HW mod but a good result nevertheless, wish I had not let it go on a rifle I sold. I looked a hugget which was on a BSA R10, pretty poor but there again the BSA mods are garbage anyway so possibly better than the standard mod supplied with the rifle. Phil

    Yes sorry about that, I was going from memory on my pal's unit. Well that is a bonus not that my pal needs any extra light but always good to know. Phil

    As I said last night Jimmy, fantastic news and her progress must be amazing for the doctors to be happy for her to return home on Wednesday. Now we can sort the flowers mate. You are going to bring Natalie to the only bloody show that Trish and Myself will not be going to this year, we are booked in for a holiday ? might have to think of driving back but it's a long way to Harrogate from Suffolk hmmmmm Anyway seriously good bit of news my friend.

    Is this a Baikal a single barrel 12 gauge shotgun, if so they have a kick like a blackpool donkey and I really think you are taking a big risk. Good luck with whatever you decide. Phil

    Another very sad story and one which will never go away. Phil

    Nice scope Mark but I just don't get on with the focus ring, far prefer side focus and they are so much easier for NV shooting. The Panarama has good glass though. Phil

    There are very few autos with any type of scope fitting although my Pietta does BUT whilst the Pard are designed to accept the recoil of certain centre fire rifles I doubt that they will cope with a 12 gauge recoil for very long. Phil

    Just an update, my pal checked the extra picatiny rail and 008 studs and they were not tight. It is all now tightened up and he is off to the range to set zero this morning. I think without doubt this was the issue, schoolboy error as we thought eachother had tightened the all the fixings Thanks guys Phil

    Thank you guys, I have passed on all your feedback. I don't know how it could not register the zero Sean because when the cross hairs have been moved to the poi and 'OK' pressed, it is registered/locked in unless I/we have misunderstood the process. It is on a Browning T-bolt .22lr using subs ammo.

    Hang on boys. This is the standard 008 not lrf or with updated firmware so I thought there was only one zero profile. The zero was set last week and nothing else done to it except to switch it off and remove the battery.

    A question for my shooting partner. Last week we set zero as a starting point of 25mt, perfect. Today I had a call from my pal saying that it was off zero by approx 3'' soooooo how could this happen. My pal removed the battery when he got home last week from the range and didn't replace it until today, could that have lost zero. Any ideas please guys. Phil

    I am very sorry to hear of your grandson's accident BC, a tragic loss and one which will certainly be felt this Christmas. My sincere thoughts to you and yours. Phil

    That was back in September so may not be at that price now. I didn't notice it was sept. until after I posted on the thread. Phil

    Due to weather issues this weekend, I didn't bother taking the gun out to test but today, Monday, I popped out with my pal for a walk around one of the perms. Well luck was not on my side with the birds breaking cover from the woods on my pal's side so he picked up a few pigeon and a pheasant but as I really wanted to try different cartridges as the main exorcise, I was still able to sort that out. I tried 30gr, 28gr, 24gr and 21gr and I can tell you that all cycled perfectly well which pleases me greatly as the lighter shells can be used by my daughter on clays. The other aspect was that

    I am pleased you posted this Jimmy because those who didn't know were able to see things were not right so as you have many friends on here, they are able to express their best wishes and without doubt everyone here will be thinking of you and all the family. If Natalie follows after Nicola and you, see will be a strong lady and judging by what I have seen my friend, she has that strength clearly. Best regards Phil

    I am not familiar with this scope BUT normally the very edge ring of the eye bell is turned to get the reticle in focus. I have not seen a lock ring at the point of the mag adjustment to control the focus. I am somewhat puzzled.........? Perhaps a call to the manufacturer or importer to download an owners manual / operating info. Phil

    Well that works Mitch, one hell of a group at that range mate. Phil

    You have this looking really nice Jimmy. If I buy a semi auto shotgun I have on test at the moment, I may be asking you to do your magic on the stock after I have stripped it all down but that is something we can talk about at some point. Sending you a text mate. Phil

    If you look on the right hand side you can just see the weaver rail that blacksheep fitted although I would be a bit nervous about screwing into the casing.

    Just been playing around with it and have to say it appears to be very well made, the parts are beefed up compared to many others so depending on how it performs, it is looking good. A different ejection cartridge 'grabber' which certainly looks fit for purpose, hoping you can see it in the photo's. I will spend some time cleaning the action parts if I buy it. I am going to push my luck when testing as I am going to test some lighter shells as well so my youngest daughter can shoot it at clays as my 32" Beretta DT10 is far too heavy for her. Phil
