    It may not be what you want to do BUT the two big forums would also be the places to let it be known what lengths you have had to resort to in order to get the gun that Air Arms should be able to offer even if that means a price hike. Have you posted any comments on the AA users forum /club as that also will get back to them. Phil

    I had read how good these were Mark but I had never shot one until Tuesday and although I had a problem with the cross hairs being too thick on the scope already fitted, making it very difficult to see the small spot target I put out at 25mt, my god, this is so accurate producing a very very small single hole. I ran it again at 10mt, which is nearer to what the range will be in the pub shoots, you could only see one pellet sized hole with 10 shots through. I don't know how I am going to get on with diopter sights & free standing though, it should be good for a laugh and that is for sur

    Looking lovely is that Jimmy. Now as a numpty at this sort of thing, I have no experience BUT I would have thought it was easier to carry out the engraving before the oil treatment because won't the cutter go below the oil depth leaving untreated wood and the need to oil again or have I thought it through wrong.

    I got to tell you guys that I have threatened to buy on of these for some time now but when this one came up in the RFD, well nuff said. I love these quirky looking versions of the S200, they just have something, don't know what it is but I love em. The one in the photo is not mine, that is just a web photo. I have ordered the Air Arms diopter sights as a start point and looking to get a hamster to fit on the track underneath. Phil

    That will be grand mate. This is what the gun should look like if the sights arrive tomorrow although I won't have reduced the power down, that will be later.

    I don't have one but read a few reviews which rated them very highly. Enjoy and let us know how you progress with it. Phil

    Don't know if you are free tomorrow night Rez but if so there is a bell target event taking place at the Cross Roads pub in East Barkwith near Market Rasen. If I can get my newly aquired gun sorted in time, I will deffo be there. Just wondered if you fancied it mate. Phil

    And who has been telling you what I look like Matt !!!!!!!!!! however it is true. No room for a chair Jon as I set the hide in the best spot with a great backdrop and not sticking out into the field at all, to be quite honest leaning back on the tree stump was very comfortable with one gun.

    Well if my back didn't ache before, it does now, all day building a greenhouse for my eldest daughter. To be honest, I far prefer crow shooting with the shotgun when numbers are an issue and as I had taken about during the last three sessions, I thought I would play a little. Phil

    Yesterday, I popped down to a field where I set up a hide two weeks ago for shooting crows on a freshly drilled area. I have used the shotty most of the time but yesterday I thought I would take BOTH rifle and shotty..........................fcuk me, talk about working my nuts off, not in numbers shot but in holding two guns by the barrel whilst the butts are on the deck so that if the bird is deffo landing, I use the rifle (impact) but if they are not so keen on dropping in on the deeks, the shotty is the tool for the job. After an hour, my back was killing me as I was in a stooped positi

    I am very pleased for you Nelly....................................now, NO MORE TALK OF GETTING AN R10 AS THESE GUNS WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!! What made this even better is the fact that you were in the company of not one but two really good guys and you will keep this memory locked away for many years to come matey. Nice one Si and of course Jimmy. NELLY HAS POPPED HIS CHERRY so now you know you can hit em and your guns work fine. Phil

    Hmmmm food for thought Tom. I have spoken to a few people who have now switched to a 20 bore o/u for game shooting and seem to be very happy with them. Phil

    Welcome aboard matey and make yourself at home. Nice gun to get yourself back into the obsession. Phil

    I like the little shotty Tom, never shot a s/s 20, do you find them a bit bumpy at the muzzle. Phil
  19. philpot
    No problem Simon, I have some fine cutting wheels and fine burring tools so perhaps a trip over during the week and I will drop them off in exchange for a coffee. I will pm you with my phone number shortly. Phil

    With the predator pellets, don't be surprised if you get completely different performance between the shorts and longs, I don't know which you have tried but may be worth trying the other style from what you have Rez. Phil

    If you need a dremel to touch in the chequering at the grip, let me know Simon and I will get one over to you. Phil
