    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

    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

    After testing most of the .25 pellets available, the best groups went to AA Fields 25.4gr with JSB King Heavy in second however I started testing H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme which gave good results but I confess to sticking with the AA as they just make rabbits simply fall over dead. If you go the .25 route Mitch, don't waste money on H&N Grizzly.....................................the worst pellet on the planet, grouping at around 3'' at 25mt so god only knows what they would be like at 40mt let alone 70 - 90mt that the AA will perform to.

    Many farms have either a rubbish pile or cesspit so just ask the farmer where to throw the unwanted birds. Phil

    I have the FX Impact .25 fac producing 95-105 shots per fill at 47.5fpe, not sure what size the bottle is but around 500cc Phil

    As a matter of interest, what gun have you got. Phil

    I couldn't agree more with your comment on perceived fashion which has been found over and over again in the clay shooting scene, some of which were of no use whatsoever whereas others proved to be a great success. I confess to a strong liking for multichoke however I tend to set chokes for the task in hand and not change them during that type of shooting. I use a 32'' gun but still own a 26'' which still puts a smile on my face when I do use it on occasion. I will use 24 or 28gr for all clay shooting from skeet to Olympic trap with the appropriate choke. 29 or 32gr for pigeon/crow shooti

    SbS are lighter and that is the ONLY advantage if you are walking or standing for hours. O/U have less muzzle flip, the extra weight reduces the effect of recoil and bear in mind many of today's cartridges are faster than those of years ago, single sighting plane, single selective trigger, multi chokes of offer many different uses/aspects of quarry shooting and finally, the weight helps to keep your swing steady although it takes slightly more effort to start the swing. I could NEVER to back to shooting a SbS with double triggers, no wonder they don't sell in the shops.

    I have the NiteSite Viper which has got me loads of rabbits out to 90mts but that is with an fac air rifle however with a T50 IR strapped on the side as well, I can easily see them at 160mt (NiteSite rangefinder readings). I must confess that after buying a .22 rimefire, I was also looking at an alternative sight but as Xmas, daughter's birthday and a costly car fix, it is on back burner until I have recovered somewhat. I really do like the NiteSite and don't have any issues with back light scaring off the rabbits so far anyway but have both red and ND filters if it does becom

    ooohh I wish I had some spare cash Simon. Phil

    I don't know it works for normal day scope use but looks good. I know my nitesite rangefinder is bloody superb at night and really wished it was possible to use in daylight. Not tried it through the nitesite during daylight hours, hmmm must try that. Phil

    You did bloody well Mark if the wind was anything like we had on the east coast. A plan was made to go out and set up the fac guns today or tomorrow after a few changes to ammo, scopes etc but the wind blew that out of the window, trees down in the next village, I could only just open the car door ( I'm not very strong ) up on the perm.............but it was nice from inside the car watching about 200 duck fresh in from the marshes...........................................................in the farm next door Phil

    It is only a stock Tom, so put it anywhere or both sections. Phil

    Like a fool, I sold mine as it was not used as much as the Combro................................big mistake, we all make em from time to time though. Phil

    Nothing much to say other than another one up to your usual standard old pal. Phil

    Really very nice Si and similar to the Streamline. Now please tell me two things, firstly what scope is that, looks just what I want for my AA 200t when I am not target shooting with it, ie not too big, is it AO side focus, I can't quite see as my bloody screen has a blue cast for the last couple of days, on it's way out I think. The NV spotter, is that one made by 'Some Bloke' on NV forum. Phil

    Very nice but a very low shot count. I love the stock. Phil

    I agree with Mitch, change your pellets. In .22 the Falcon accuracy Plus shoot well in most guns or AA Fields / JSB Exacts We all buy loads of pellet makes / types and test them at the ranges we shoot as this is the ONLY way to see which pellet produces the best grouping on paper. Once you find which is the best pellet for your gun, stick with them. If your pal uses another pellet that doesn't mean it will give the best performance in your gun so always test for your own gun. Rest your gun on a bean bag or bipod and either shoot from a stable bench or prone on the ground in ord

    With my .25 Impact I zero way shorter than most at 25mt because on one perm the shooting is very close so are the rats at another perm and my local RFD has a 25mt indoor range so it is handy. At 60mt I am half a mildot holdover so not really an issue but on my Rapid .22 fac, I zero at 40mt as the pellet flight is nowhere near as flat as the .25. Phil

    Firstly, a goose has a huge amount of feathers and even shotgun loads don't always get through but more than this, geese are NOT a bird on the general list for air rifle shooting. I know geese have been shot with air rifles but you need to be very close taking a head shot but in all honesty..................................leave well alone. It sounds like you need more experience to gain the accuracy rather than gun tuning and that means 'range time' to get to the level you want. Many of the members on here are able to hit a 10p coin at 60 - 70 yds but that doesn't mean they will shoot li

    I sold most of my rifles as I use the Impact on every occasion BUT I wished I had kept one just as an alternative or back up. I have an S200 t split stock for target shooting and toying with popping on a small scope just for ratting when I find a suitable scope. Anyone got a small side focus or AO scope they want to sell ideally s/f Phil

    I use this at times but is also available in green on the bay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAR-56-019-FIRE-RED-Lighting-Filter-Colour-Effects-Gel-Theatre-DJ-Party-Lights/160955686620?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Phil
