    I popped into B&M today to pick up my favorite coffee and on a pallet outside were 12.55kg sacks of peanuts (not in their shells) selling at £12.99 per bag which in round figures is £1.00 per kilo whereas the normal price in most suppliers is nearer to £3.00 per kilo. So if you need some serious squirrel fodder, take a look at B&M, unless of course you already pay less than this price in which case just ignore the ramblings of an ole tart ? Phil

    I am not a springer man myself but if I were to buy another, I would buy one that could be tuned. I did have an Air Arms TX200 which I was crap with BUT after 'charlie caller' worked his magic I was able to shoot ultra tight groups. I only sold it as it was too heavy for me but I want an HW 57 and tune it or have it tuned I should say then I will have a light rifle without a kick. Just my humble opinion. Good luck in your choice. Phil

    Nice going Mark. I have all my perms within 10mins from home and it just makes shooting life easier when perms are close as it seems no effort at all when you just want pop out for an hour. Phil

    Just sent you a text mate. Phil

    Possibly a Tasco scope and there are still a few of those kicking around. Phil

    oh well, I won't wait in antisipation in that case. Jimmy, do you want some JSB RS to try as well because if I remember correctly, I was going to bring you some to Doncaster but as we didn't meet up, I can send you some. I don't know if they are the same as FAP but I do know that in my old Wildcat .22, the FAP didn't produce good groups but the RS certainly did and I use them in my 110k to good effect so let me know matey.

    I saw an episode of 'Ted's holdover' the other day where he had been testing the Hades in his FX rifles which as he is in the US, his rifles are full power and he was saying how the Hades is a game changer producing very good groups. Perhaps the performance is different Jimmy in fac. It's a pity they are not available in .25, I want to see what they are like at fac levels. Phil

    Nice idea Mitch. Phil

    I think most of them are in my RFD's shop because he has a load of old crap kicking around in the back. Better not say who that is...........................? Phil

    So do I but it reminds me of that bloody awful springer with that survival expert Bear Grylls name spattered over it. Shame............ Phil

    Cheers Sean. I will be sending off for a pair in olive or grey. Phil
  12. philpot
    I think so too Mitch but Sean has bought some and will know what the packaging says with luck. Phil
  13. philpot
    Sean do you know off hand if the beaver tail forend and vertical grips are the sam for the Tx1 and Tx3 because there seems to be some for sale on ebay around £20 each but not sure if they are the same for both. Phil

    Nice one Sean. Phil

    I'll jump in on the list too please. Phil

    I had the 5-15 and wish to god I had taken it off the rifle before selling it. Phil
  17. philpot
    Yes, I know where you are coming from there Mitch. Just looking at where to mount my nv range finder on the Tikka. Phil
  18. philpot
    I believe Phil knows more about them than almost anyone else in the UK according to what I have heard. Phil

    When I have had the operation on my eye, perhaps I could also go that route if of course funds allow but that is in the future. Good to know it works in daylight. Roll on the Game Fair next year when I will spend some time on this subject. Sorry Daffy, hijacking your thread a bit here matey. Phil

    Well done. I was hoping to see tham at the Shooting Show last weekend but unless I am going blind, none showing...........pity. I think I would by far prefer the 008 to the add on version for stock / cheek position. Be interesting to know what they are like in daylight. Phil

    Right Mitch. My wife and I went to Forest Lodge Guns today with the main purpose to compare three rifles, the Tikka T1x, CZ 457 Royal & MTR and finally the Anschutz 1416 thumbhole and sporting stock versions. Lets get the CZ out of the way................................fcuking awful. The MTR which looks superb in my eyes, has a really strange pistol grip with no possibility of having your thumb over the top of the stock, instead it is designed with the thumb upright position and the balance is not good. The Royal version again has an unusual balance and to be honest the 455 is a bett

    It is plastic but I can tell you that it feels really good compared to guns like the Browning T-bolt range and as Sean will confirm, you can add a sleeve to fill out the forend and a different shape pistol grip in order to change the FEEL. the rifle also has some embedded rubber in the plastic to offer superb grip. I was impressed just how nice it feels in the shoulder. I recall thinking how crap the Impact looked to me UNTIL I had hold of it and once in the shoulder, I had to have it, I am not saying the Tikka is exactly like that but it does have presence in the shoulder that sticks in

    I did wonder that myself, perhaps an error but whatever, I will be looking at them very soon, maybe this week. This will be the first chance I will have to get to handle both the Tikka and the CZ 457 in order to be absolutely sure. Phil
  25. philpot
    Mitch, here you go mate, scroll down the page until you reach CZ and they are listed as being in stock along with prices. I like the MTR version. https://www.forestlodgegunswragby.co.uk/rifles Phil
