What's the best rifle scope for the money
philpot replied to Anthony Crouch's topic in Night Vision & Thermal
The UTG Bug Buster should not be even on the list and the fact that it is tells me that the list is a complete waste of space. Phil -
Well done that man, a proper result Jasper. Phil

Yes, in that price range, the Wildcat every day of the week, I wished I had kept one of mine. The ONLY down side to them is the 8 shot mags which when ratting, can be a bloody pain but apart from that I loved mine. Phil

Just been having a look at one of these in my RFD, not bad really but a few negative points for me. The stock was a little short for me and the pistol grip is preformed to a given shape so if you hand fits the shape of the grip, great but if like me and two other guys in the shop including the owner of the shop, we all found the shaping didn't fit our hand plus a little to short in the depth of the grip. This rifle would benefit greatly by having changable grips as on the FX Impact so you could get a more comfortable grip. Weirauch don't make good looking guns and this one is no different to a

Got the trigger sticks tripod but a bi-pod is handy when prone although I have to confess Sean that once in prone position, I can shoot well enough just can't fcuking get back up again ? Phil

I am also looking at a Tikka .22lr, bloody sound rifles. Phil

Come on boys, you must have some ideas.....

Hatsan do a pink camo 20 bore semi ....................it's the colour, I know. My youngest daughter was wanting one. They shoot well with very low recoil. Phil

Nice to have you back Ethan, there has been a gap in grandad's hunting reports as you were not with him. Anyway, glad to see you are getting back into shooting and perhaps we will see you again in the not to distant future my lad. Phil

I bought an Atlas clone last year to use on my Impact and also on my HW110k but in all honesty, I am pretty fed up with it as it constantly comes loose to the point that I cannot trust the gun to be supported for long and definately not leave it. A guy on another forum made some delrin washers that made all the difference but not on mine. I am using the Dr Bob's bottle ring with my normal bi-pod fitted which works perfectly well but doesn't fit the HW110k without another fitting to convert the weaver rail to take my normal bi-pod. So I would like to get a better version, does anyone use

£1119 for the Crown..................................................oooooh I do wish my pension was as good as it should have been ? Phil

Even though the Brocock is from the dreaded Daystate stable, I do confess a liking for a couple of the models and one of them won the Extreme Benchrest in Texas last year so they must be up to the accuracy level needed but again fac level. Phil

Very well said Simon. At times I do wish I had kept the TX that you shot but hey ho too late now. Phil

Save the dosh for the Impact Jimmy......................................no messing with that bloody thing. Phil
-
I am so pleased that you had a good session lads and also pleased I was not there otherwise I would have been turning slightly green at the new gun Jimmy. Glad it is woeking for you mate. Phil
-
I was looking at one last week Jimmy but to be honest, I just didn't click with it. I didn't have a shot with it though so perhaps it's okay but I doubt it. Phil

Well at least you only have to turn around to turn the pan off Si and put the kettle on ? Phil

When you cock the rifle, the mag can jump out. I know now that it was not the odd rifle affected as a number of issues were reported and Air-Fective tweeked the guns to sort it. I had my rifle adjusted by Pickering guns to resolve the problem but it didn't completely erradicate the problem although it became far less of an issue. VERY annoying at the time. Phil -

Who knows Rez but take it from me that they did and always at night in mud....................? Phil -
I have a VW Passat with just over 200,000 miles on the clock, very comfortable, very reliable and average of 48.5 - 50mpg running around and upto 58 on a long run although I must admit I don't put my foot down nowadays as the pension has all on to keep up with fuel prices. The only downside to the Passat estate is they are very low and so not that easy to get in and out as we get older, with only 140mm ground clearance, no good for green lanes, strictly tarmac unless you get the 4x4 version but then road tax goes up and so does the fuel usage.

In my mind the two are not really comparable Phill as one is a bullpup and one a normal length rifle albeit slightly shorter than the 100 series. Perhaps a better comparison is the Wildcat and the 110k as they are both short rifles. I have had two Wildcats in .177 & .22 and confess they are lovely to carry and shoot with 200+ shots per fill (sorry I can't remember exactly how many) but the downside for me was the magazines which jumped out of the gun on a number of occasions plus they are only 8 shot which FX could have improved when they brought the Mk11 out. Do't get me wrong, I rea
