    I must confess to simply firing the round into the ground to remove any issue and with pellets being so cheap in comparison to other forms of ammunition, does it really matter. Phil

    Merry Christmas to you all. A good start to the festive season, I am up stuffing Gaviscon tablets down as I am unable to sleep as I have really bad acid. Phil

    The strange thing is Jimmy / Mark, when I was struggling to produce a decent group, I just sat the fore end on my bench rest holding the gun only at the grip so there was no holding tension on the fore end at all. It was not until after I had produced some shit groups that I went for resting the fore end in my left hand. I have not had a decent session with the rifle at the range for a while so it is time to put some effort in and I am more than happy to try anything................................................................I should just stick to pcp. Having said that, I was shooting

    I am quite sure you are right Jimmy, it is just me, I simply can't seem to crack the technique of springer shooting although I had no problem whatsoever with my tuned TX. I will be putting a bit of range time in to see if I can improve things somewhat. Phil

    I saw this a few days ago, what a load of crap. Air Arms each year manage to produce seriously awful Xmas vids which does make me think their female CEO has no fcuking style or taste.............................................look at the Galahad a perfect example. Phil

    As you all know, I had both .177 and .22 Wildcats and both were fine although the .22 needed a tweak to the mag feed BUT I wouldn't go for the .25 FAC as I understand they are not so easy to keep on target, a bit of a twang and only a 7 or 8 shot mag. If the new Mk2 has a bigger mag as the Impact, it will be on my bucket list in sub 12. Not getting any xmas presents from my wife nor am I buying her any as we tend to buy stuff as and when we see them rather than buying only for xmas. HOWEVER my birthday is on New Years Day so that is another story all together. Phil

    I must admit that I want a tuning kit to smooth mine out. I have the one in the photo's above that Jimmy did but I am truely rubbish with it but there again I was with the TX until our Charlie Caller worked his magic on it so I guess I need to get my arse in gear and sort one and get it booked in with Tim in the new year.

    I would have stepped in with a piece of wood or my boot if all else failed. Phil

    The RT version has a digital doubler so running at x6 until you press the button and hey presto x12. A friend of mine has the RT x6 and says it is much better than the XT version. I have borrowed a 4.5 XT just to try and see if I like it. It would be the RT version if I decide to go this route. Phil

    Oh my lord, this is just bloody awful. It is bad enough for my daughter but for you and your family it is just not right. My thoughts are with you and hope you manage to have a decent Christmas despite the job situation. Phil

    What sort of shot count do you get Bry. That looks lovely and very similar to an old Brocock I had. The one in the shop is a sporter, not the light version. Phil
  16. philpot
    To be honest Bry, I don't know. It is a well formed sporter stock. The asking price is £285 which seems fair. Phil

    I was in the RFD today and whilst sipping a cup of coffee, I saw an FN2 in .22. Never used one but picked this one up, it felt superb in the shoulder, light, stock fit was perfect, hmmm, now would that do as a ratter as it was cheap. The thing is I know nothing about these guns soooooooo are they any good and what is the shot count like on the .22. There must be some of you guys that have had one and give me the low down, I might just swap my T200 rifle for one if they are any good. Phil

    I was born and lived my first 40+ years in Sheffield and the hares shot on the high Derbyshire land was strong and for me, awful but down here in Lincolnshire, totally different and good to eat, perhaps something to do with the different types of soil ?? although I don't shoot them any more, just like to see them around. Phil

    My grandfather, who was a gamekeeper in the midlands used to shoot and eat them and there is a chap from Jimmy's neck of the woods who will come and pick up crows if there is enough to make it worthwhile as he uses them in pies. 'Four and twenty black birds, baked in a pie' etc etc as the nursery rhyme goes and the black birds were rooks and crows so why not. Phil
  20. philpot
    Well I would try them in my Rapid FAC. .22 Phil

    Really not sure mate. I think it is fine on a range gun but for hunting ??? Having said that, Hatsan produce a pink cammo semi auto shotgun and I know a woman who owns one which she uses for all her pigeon and duck shooting so what the hell, it may not matter at all. Phil

    Strangely enough Jimmy, I have been playing around with it today. I was hoping to test out to about 100mts but the area which is ideal for setting scopes and holdover at distance has sugar beet all round the green lane running through it, low wind area, BUT today they were cutting the crop.......................................bugger. If all goes to plan, it will be later in the week. I have been sat in the garden a few times looking out across the fields to get used to the feel of it and have to say I do like it. It does seem a little strange looking through a digital image with one

    Bresser are a good make normally starting around £50 up to about £500+ so I wouldn't have thought it to be so bad. Phil
  24. philpot
    That stock looked pretty bloody bad Jimmy, had it been in a barn for twenty years or so. Whatever, I am sure it will look good when it is done. Colron used to do a black oak and Jackobean dark oak stain which just might be perfect for that Jimmy, if they still do such a colours. Just a thought mate. Phil
