    Having issues with posting photos now with the photobucket farce. Phil

    There are a few guys on another forum who use the P700 for ratting on a regular basis not because it is anyway better than the rifle but simply as something a bit different. One of the has fitted a mod and extension stock a bit like a crossman ratcatcher.

    Very difficult to explain Jon but it is the casing tube not the adjustment ring for focus

    I was about to swap over one of my MTC Mamba Lite scopes onto another gun last night when I noticed that the eye bell looked to be very slightly out of line with the main tube. I set the rifle level and checked with a tiny spirit level, main tube cock on but the eye bell was sloped down and a tiny gap could be seen at the top of the eye bell where it touches the mag adjustment ring. Does anyone know if this can be adjusted / undone and reset to level as I am not wanting to send it to Daystate for obvious reasons. or of course can suggest a good place to get in touch to sort it.

    I am looking into the whole NV set up for my rimfire and had some really good suggestions but one thing I would like to know is this, is the Yukon any good at all in daylight although it may not be important as I am toying with having the .22 rimfire for night use only. Just curious. If you do your usual Jimmy and sell it, just let me know as I would love to try it. Phil

    Thanks Ian...........................to the point and sound advice. One of our other members, Villaman also suggested the Ward to me some time back. Only heard good things about them. I would love to try one because the add on systems such as the ward are sold as a bolt on when needed for night work but surely the the eye piece is so far back, you would need to change position of the scope in order to mount the gun correctly, I have never been able to get my head around that unless of course it is left on and used for night shooting only.

    I had one on a .22 version but swapped it for an HW mod which was much better. Phil

    Good points Outback. My .25 fac air rifle is using 25.4gr pellets pushing a touch under 900fps but that little Impact is a £1700 gun and used day and night but I think you are right in the respect that one of them is to become a 'night gun' and to be honest the rimmy was bought for rabbiting so it is likely to be the night gun. I normally shoot in daylight a 6x mag and at night scan in at 3x then zoom up to 6x but I do find the NiteSite loses so much light at 6x that sometimes I take the shot at 3x. This aspect of the NiteSite is bloody annoying but I have no comparison with o

    Thank you for that Alsone, very interesting. I use MTC Mamba Lites on all my air rifles both fac and sub 12 and now on the rimmy but perhaps this situation needs reviewing as my NV set up is a NiteSite Viper with an extra IR to cover 100mt +. This is not working out so well on the Anschutz rimmy and I either have to fit a longer scope or look to a dedicated NV sight when pension allows. I only use mildot holdover method and if I am totally honest, I am not sure how the turret compensation method works. Is this the same as the MTC Viper pro method shown here. http://mtcoptics.co

    Thank you the relies chaps. I do use an FX Impact pcp .25, running at 46fpe out to over 90mt and the reason for getting into rimfire was to help with windy conditions or at least that was my idea. I was out last night and tonight and paid particular note of the distances of rabbits seen using an NV rangefinder, over my usual shooting range, the rabbits were between 100 -156mt so my thought of 250mt was a maximum in my head. I was told a .17 HMR would blow a rabbits to to mush Ian so your comment interest me greatly and the fact that it is a cheaper ammo. I am curre

    I use my trigger sticks at least once a week but usually several times a week and have done for the past 18 months, superb product. Thank you for the repair info and keeping my fingers crossed that I don't need to do it. Phil

    I am new to live ammo rifles although I have been shooting shotguns for about 40+ years and air rifles in both Sub 12ft and FAC but now started my new interest with an Anschutz .22 rimmy...................................however the thought of progressing to a .22-250 or .17HMR for longer distance rabbits is something which is in my mind. Having just read another thread on cal choice for foxes, there was some talk about the .22-250 being a barrel burner, could someone explain just what this means please. I should also say that foxes are not on the hit list as my largest permission owners run a

    Thanks Cliff, I know John won't mind at all. We normally go and stay at John's place a couple of times every year and have for the past 13 years.............good job my wife shoots as well. I will get in touch next year when we are down again. Phil

    What a bummer, I have just got back from Suffolk after a two week stay at High Lodge shooting complex, I would have popped over for that Phil

    None of my FAC rifles have the mods listed by name as there is no serial number or name listed on them so in effect, you 'could' swap them without anyone being any the wiser. As said before, they are found every now and then in the sales sections of forums, I gave one away a few weeks ago which you could have had but too late now. Check with Crawfords in Scunthorpe to see if they have one at a price you are happy with, I can pick it up and you could meet me at one of our Bell Target evenings around the Market Rasen area if that helps.

    I'm not shooting at the moment or posting much because a very nice young lady whilst whizzing around getting last minute things for her holiday ran straight in my car so all efforts and attention are focused on repairing old bessy. Unfortunately, she had just done swap with her sister in law and had not got the car insured........... She is paying for the damage but it really messing my shoot time up, I am desperate to get out with the new gun.............................oh well, these things happen. Loads of geese and rabbits on my perm or at least there was bef

    Yes you are right, page selection on my PC is not working, just takes me to some point but not a page....................................WTF Phil

    One of these might be the way to go on my rimfire rather than the NiteSite but too early to say yet. We do have some good people on here, loaning kit or giving kit to other members or I should say friends. NICE Phil

    Interesting about the wet grass Bry, I will take that into account. The one I borrowed just didn't have the degree of adjustment needed to align the red spot to the scope picture. Perhaps some kind of adjustable connector to offer better laser positioning on the gun/scope depending on the gun being used. I will be using it on my FX Impact to start with but also on my rimfire at a later stage once the system works (hopefully). It will be easier on the Impact as there are extra weaver/picatiny rails to use but the rimmy is another thing altogether. Phil

    Nice going, it is surprising how an improvised position can sometimes work really well. Phil

    Thats the way to do it matey. Interesting idea regarding throwing a shot crow from the hide, I would never have of thought of that, you learn something new every day. Phil
