    I will make a stab at a 600 ORE Phil

    Well, these are quite close and available here, what is more, I have a tin in .25 which I tested through my Impact at 47fpe........................................fcuking shocking groups, by far the worst on test by a country mile. I was lucky if I emptied the mag at 25mt and kept most of them on a postcard size. http://voymir.com/hn-25/370-hn-grizzly-airgun-pellets-cal-25-635mm-150pcs-4047058018461.html Perhaps the ones on test with Matt far much much better than the crap I have.

    Went out today with both the shotgun and rimmy / Rapid fac but the pigeon were not around so the rifles came out, no rain just very strong winds. I set out some targets at 65mt to run a few tests leaning across the car bonnet using a bipod................................well you lot would have p1ssed yourselves as I simply couldn't stay still long enough to keep the cross hairs on the target. My pal had a couple of mags with the Rapid which he is buying off me when his FAC ticket comes through, oh my word any rabbit would have sat and laughed as the safest place was sitting in front of the bul

    There was one in my RFD a couple of weeks ago and that was up for £450 with a crappy scope but of course it is a business so he has profit on that and I would guess he paid no more than £280 - 300 as he is a tight bugger. Phil

    Okay Jimmy I will send a PM in a few minutes mate. If this does what you want at the factory, You will be needing to make inroads on the rabbits won't you. Please only send it if you are sure that you don't need it for a few weeks, I really don't want to cause you any issues by sending it to me. Phil

    Oh great Matt. I am going out today and try to find a slightly protected spot to play with the rifle testing ammo / zeroing at longer range. It may not be any good but just need to get out. Phil

    I'm going stir crazy, desperate to do some target work at range with my rimmy but the winds and rain.....................................film, log burner on and a gin & tonic, shoot another day. Phil

    Must confess, I love these early two piece stock versions. My 200t is so accurate and once it is taken up to 11.5fpe from the 6fpe it is running at now, it will be my sub 12 rifle and a keeper. I don't like the newer stock versions at all, just don't feel nice in the hands. Phil

    Thank you for that kind offer as well. It has crossed my mind already but to be honest I am desperate for some good weather to test the rimmy out to max ranges and be happy with the ammo before I start with the NV for this gun, I will however take you up on the offer if it is still around when I am ready. Thanks again Phil
  11. philpot
    It will. I have the Viper with an extra IR T50 torch which will then give all the range you need for fac air and rimmy. I will also be honest and say I am considering a dedicated NV some time next year but cannot knock the NiteSite at all. Phil
  12. philpot
    Not sold on anything for certain yet Mitch nor could I afford to just splash the cash at the moment but it more a process of elimination. I know the NiteSite Viper very well which has helped with a great many kills and I am sure it will on my rimmy as it does on my fac air rifles. I have never tried the Photon, ATN, Pulsar or Ward so whilst various people have said how good these units are, and I don't doubt it for a minute, however I have not tried any of them. Before I retired, I would have just bought whichever and see how it went but I don't have that luxury now so the purchase has to

    Just remember Jon the issue I had with the NiteSite Viper on my Mamba Lite scopes. Spray some silicon on the inside of the rubber scope connector and allow to soak in overnight. As the recticle focus ring is bulkier than other scopes, you may need to hold the eye bell in one hand and ease the rubber sleeve on with the other as you can damage the scope. My NiteSite sits really well and very sharp on the Lite so should yours mate. Phil

    To be honest, with age my eyes simply don't see the fine details of the target using a scope set for 100mt fixed parallax but by using an AO scope, I am able to get the subject really sharp. The issue is made worse by sub 12 airgun range but for me it is more to do with being an old tart. My pal used fixed parallax scope with no problems so his eyes must be better than mine. Phil

    Ahh now twigged the message Jimmy. Thank you mate, that sounds like a cracking idea and very good of you (as usual). We can try to arrange something nearer the time buddy and it will be good to meet up with you boys again. Phil

    The best groups in mine are with AA Fields 25.4gr which also happens to be the lightest pellets I have. For sub 12 the JSB RS would be ideal but I am not aware if they are made. Just found these at which are lighter but have no knowledge of them. http://www.uttings.co.uk/p103528-bsa-pylarm-25-pellets-x-200-706/#.WiUZ3oZl8dU & http://www.uttings.co.uk/p103638-handn-field-and-target-trophy-25-pellets-x-200-hnftt25p/#.WiUaKYZl8dU Hope this helps Phil

    What set up have you got and I will sort you a few out. Phil
  18. philpot
    I have to agree Rez they do tend to be all the same. I have seen a couple from Canada where there was greater detail in the preparation than the shot itself. I watched this one Si and to be honest, keeping the rat in the sights whilst it goes through death throws is just good canon fodder for the anti groups. Phil

    Now sorted thanks guys. Now need to look for a couple more mags. Phil
  20. philpot
    Cheers Si and Pav. Phil

    The point I am making is that all this type of rangefinder cannot be set correctly for position on the gun without an NV unit. Mitch put up a post a couple of weeks ago saying good value for day / night and I agree they are, it is just that, I think day time shooting is still handled better with a Hawke 400 / 600 where at least you can be sure you are pointing at the quarry distance rather than 'somewhere in the area' situation. Si as the Yukon is both day and night, it would be good to know if the flicker is seen through the yukon in daylight as it is a digital camera / screen or once se

    My 200t (two piece stock) is running at 6.35fpe which is fine for target work but for the short term I fancy taking it up to 11 - 11.5fpe. The gun has the exposed adjustment nut / screw on the side but not sure how to adjust and if anything else needs changing. The gun will be taken back down to 6fpe after I have used it at the higher level for a while. I have taken the diopter sights off and fitted a scope to do a bit of ratting. This is the gun. This is not for open forum, obvious reasons, so if anyone can help, please PM me. Phil
  23. philpot
    Right Si, now you have one of these units, please tell me this......................................can you see the rangefinder flicker if you simply point it down your garden in daylight with the naked eye. If not, it wouldn't be seen through a day scope either which does make me wonder how it works as a day and night rangefinder. Good talking earlier Si and thanks for the info mate. Phil

    This is worth a look. Phil

    If that was close, I would come out of retirement for that one. Phil
