    Ahhhhhhhhhh You have me Steg old boy, yes I have gone to the dark side for some of my shooting, just awaiting for the variation to come back and I can go and pick up my Anschutz .22 rimmy................................perhaps its an age thing, get one before I am too old to use it. Phil

    I have FAC air and can confirm it is not an open ticket. Each cal must be listed but of course you just put N/A regarding ammo. I suggest checking with the landowner if anyone at any time has had the land looked over by the police for a previous request as it will be a formality because the land will be listed as approved for fac then the farmer will not even be contacted most likely as it was in my case. Speak to the firearms dept regarding driving offences and the fact that you cannot remember them which I assume means they were quite a while ago and the police can and will check it

    We have an impostor on the forum lads pinching our Jimmy's login, well it must be after just reading the post above. quote:- Im not buying any thing else until iv got my FX WILD CAT 177 WHAT THE FCUK.......................................................That is not Jimmy........................................NO sir and I sold mine with five mags a little while ago.

    Very nice shooting Mark. Phil

    Certainly tough although the recticle is not very good for hunting, perhaps designed as an airsoft scope not target or hunting scope. Phil

    I have both and both are decent but Jack Pike zips don't seem to last so well. Given the choice I would put the Deerstalker on top. Superb quality, lightweight and very comfortable to wear. Having said all that, I do like my JP jackets and they get plenty of wear. I'm not helping really......................sorry mate. Phil

    Okay, thanks Ian, what range do you sell. Phil

    Nice result Si and I fully expect to be seeing the three musketeers on Saturday eating rabbit sarnies as you walk into the show Phil

    I'm pretty sure Ratworks could do that for you. Phil

    Ah sorry Dave, just saw you have a CZ. The one I am getting, I think, is an Anschutz but can't remember the model ..................................... I will check it tomorrow. Phil

    What gun do you have Dave and are you coming up to the show on Saturday mate. Phil
  12. philpot
    Thanks Walshie, yes you are right on both counts, it is a .22LR and again it may well be a different result in my gun BUT at least it gives me a start point and I do need a start point. I am not switched onto the better makes of shells like I am with pellets or my shotgun cartridges so looking to perhaps save myself both time and money. I spent so much on .25 pellets for my FAC FX Impact air rifle and would like not to buy every bloody make on the planet. Good advice always well received. Phil

    As I am in the process of buying a .22 rimfire, I am going to buy different shells to establish what suits the gun but in the vain attempt to save a bit of cash, where would you experienced chaps point me in the right direction. Phil

    Thank you Rob for a comprehensive response and just what I had hoped for. I am going to the South Yorkshire Shooting show next weekend and will be spending a little time on Scot Country stand but very strangely today I heard of a chap who lives only a few villages away who actually makes thermal spotters, believe it or not for the paranormal !!!!!! so I will be trying to borrow one to try out, it will be worth a go. I am very curious about the Seek range for the job of finding shot quarry which are a lot less money and I would assume much shorter range although that would not be a big issu

    Please forgive mu ignorance guys but I have been toying for a while about a small hand held thermal device to find shot quarry, ie pigeon in crops or rabbits at night and with this in mind what would you suggest. I am not interested in a thermal scope, quite happy with normal NV Phil

    The request to your doctor will be that if the doctor thinks your condition makes you unsuitable to hold an FAC to advise them accordingly. If you are unsure, ask your GP but if you are talking years ago, I would simply say no. Phil

    Phil, I have tried chairgun a number of times and never yet got a result that actually works ....................................... it's me, I know it's me but I just cannot get my head round the bloody thing. It is out in the field for me at measured distances to get the hold over info. I think Hawke are going to be at the South Yorkshire Shooting Show next weekend so if Doncaster is not too far for you, have a day out with some of us and have a chat with Hawke at the same time.

    So will we see you there ??

    My Wildcats were a .177 and a .22 and to be honest, I had no issues at all. The .22 ran JSB RS pellets and the .177 ran either AA Field or JSB Exact again with no issues. Both rifles were very accurate but as Si has said, stick to JSB pellets as the guns are set up on them in the factory. H&N pellets were rubbish and would not group at all neither would Falcon Accuracy Plus, in fact the FAP's could jam quite easily. We all like different things and different designs so the choice is yours. I think my Impact is an ugly gun and I have never liked the look of this type of gun BUT the

    What is mole ??
  23. philpot
    Used a wolverine but never owned one. I have had two Wildcats and loved them but they had to go in order to buy my FX Impact. These guns are quite different with the wildcat being a light and fast handling gun, the Daystate is much heavier and with their customer service record despite some people have no issues, I would not buy any gun made by them. Just my thoughts. Phil
  24. philpot
    To be honest, I play safe and use a range finder except when I have left the bloody thing in the car then I just guess. When I got my first perm, I put up markers on the area I was shooting in order to estimate distances but gave that up as range finders are not so expensive and easily available on ebay, no brainer really.
