    Yes, as you do with any FAC rifle. I have sent mine back to have a variation and now have slots for 17HMR and .22WMR although it is unlikely I will bother. A variation is only £20 and takes a week or two. No issue really Mitch Phil

    I am seriously pleased you have changed your mind my friend, it would have been a sad place without you Jimmy but with Sean and Si there to give you a clout round the ear to keep you in line mate, all will be well with the world. Best regards Phil

    I have only tried the AA Field Heavy 18gr in three fac rifles and they were spot on in each case. So that is the black beauty, very nice mitch and so was the shot. Phil

    You can have more than one fac air rifle in a particular cal so there is no issue. As for a spare barrel it may well be similar to most mods as few have maker's names let alone serial numbers and are listed as unknown.

    I have a slot for a .22 barrel on my ticket Mitch as it was my plan to have both cals but in truth I have not needed to go that route. At half the price of a new barrel / mag, I would have had this had it been in .22 and totally legal. Phil

    That is a shame Jimmy because I was thinking it would be perfect for you mate, you never know how long it will be in the RFD after all it is not that many shooters have Impacts so could be a slow mover. Had it been a .22, I would have had it myself. Phil

    My pal has just bought a s/h Impact .25 which came with a spare .177 barrel and two mags. My pal didn't want the spare barrel so the RFD has it for sale, they cost new £350 approx plus £50 for the extra mag and is up for sale at £200 with both mags including postage direct to you. I have no interest in this sale, just thought if anyone has a .22 or .25 Impact might want a .177 spare barrel set at a good price. I think you could get it a bit cheaper if you push it but that is down to you. The RFD is Crawfords Shooting Supplies in Scunthorpe, tel 01724 846 000 and by all means say that

    I don't use it Mark so I will have a think about that mate. Just not sure if I am going to buy the new HW110K in which case I need a scope although I might try one of these new Discovery scopes .......................................... who knows yet. The problem with the Genesis lite was no AO adjustment, couldn't see a bloody thing most of the time and far too much hassle changing focal distance. I suppose the fact that it didn't have a side focus which I am so used to pissed me off no end. The Mamba Lite, in my mind was a much better bet for me. Phil

    I had the Genesis 5-20 x 55 scope, fantastic and wish I still had it but a bit heavy and looked at one of these Lite models but could not come to terms with it at all. Hope it is okay for you Mark, I settled on a few Mamba Lite scopes which seemed to work for me, think I still have one kicking around. Phil

    Posted today so should be with you in a couple of days, normally I send first class but for some reason I didn't ask to send it first class, senior moment, sorry about that. Phil

    Weaver or picatiny rail, same thing Phil and you can buy a Nitesite clamp on it's own, in fact there was one in the sales section. Phil

    It will be interesting Mitch to see how well the Crown does in comparison with the Impact at max range for these guns, I don't go beyond 120mt and rarely but the comparison would be interesting shooting through a Chtony at that distance to see what the output is. Funnily enough I never used the Rapid .22 fac at any distance so no idea what it would have been like. Phil

    Here we go Phill, mission accomplished. Remove the Nitesite bracket , now with a touch of filing the top edge of the normal scope clamp, the rangefinder will fit on the scope clamp. As you can see I have fitted the clamp to a piece of 1" tube, in this case, a section of a very old sea fishing rod but a piece of polypipe or copper pipe will do perfectly well. I have then fitted on the tube, one of the fully adjustable torch clamps that can be bought on ebay or other sites. Now the complete unit can be fitted to the gun via a picatiny rail whic

    Sean .................................................................................... WELCOME TO THE CLUB MATE Phil

    I see you have fitted a carrying strap Mitch, I am just testing a strap system but was not keen on anchoring it on the scope rail as I was not sure if there would be any distortion due to weight so fitted mine on the under rail which works okay so far and also gives me my gun down shooting position with the Nitesite that I use 90% of the time at night when not using the Trigger Stick tripod. I might change positions to try it out. Am I right in thinking that Discovery are doing a range of first focal plane scopes as well as I seem to recall one of the magazines doing some gun

    I only had a couple of hours playing with Jimmy's Photon but simply couldn't get to grips with it at all in even getting zero which I am certain it was down to me but Pav and Si Brown are a bit whizzo with these and definitely the guys to talk to about setting them up. Good luck with it Phill. Oh by the way, I have sussed how to retro fit the Nitesite rangefinder and will post photos on your other thread later today. Phil
  17. philpot
    Shut up you old tart Mitch. I know you use a Nitesite for much of your shooting but just don't tell anyone ? We have already got these so making good use of them and they are every bit as good as the CRS just more expensive but there again I bought mine at almost the same price as the CRS ............................................... SO THERE ? What a relief the Pulsar kit is sooooooooo well priced............he he Phil

    Cheers Si, Phill we need to train you up on computer skills but not by me because most of the time, I am crap but our Si to the rescue, sorted. Having a second viewing angle, that unit looks spot on and I am deffo up for one of those. I wonder what, if any, adjustment the bracket has because I think you will need some to get it just perfect. Phil

    Go to the page Phill, then swipe the curser on the http bar at the top of the page to highlight it, right click the highlighted name bar and 'copy'. Now go to your topic thread and start a new post, right click in the post box 'paste', left click and the link is then posted. A condensed instruction, hope it makes sense. Good luck. Failing that Phill, just look at the advert on their site and you will see an SKU number, just give me that and that will direct me to the item.

    No problem, if I think of anything I will let you know. I will post on Monday as the village collection has already gone today, just let me know when you have taken delivery. Phil
  21. philpot
    Optic Warehouse certainly have a large product range but I am buggered if I can find the above item either complete or as a mount on it's own. Can you post a link please Phill. Phil
  22. philpot
    It's yours and don't need anything for it, just sat in a cupboard so you might as well make use of it. just send your details and I will post it matey. Phil
  23. philpot
    Let me know how you get on Phill, as I may get one of those. Phil
  24. philpot
    Now then BN, have you found a charger for the Viper, if not, PM me your full name and address and I will post you my spare foc. Phil
  25. philpot
    There is a fully adjustable mount like the one Si has shown and I believe there is another that can be bought on ebay which will allow you to set exactly to the aim point. In fact I am thinking of doing the same as I have weaver rails on the FX Impact that are not in use so I can set my Nitesite finder to the gun rather than the Viper or Wolf units I have but in my case I may need to transfer to another gun at some stage although I really don't think it would be required.
