    I find most AA guns have a similar cocking issue, I don't think it is a problem just the design. I picked a 410 for my son in law which was the same and was advised by the RFD that with AA bolt action guns you should use your thumb to centralize the bolt when pulling it back which does seem to work.

    I agree, it is worth pushing him on price because he might think the stock appearance is cool but should you decide to sell it at some point, those holes/carving WILL knock the price down. Phil

    Am I right in thinking that the WTC and other simmons scopes are not available with mil dots. Phil

    I use a pair of cheap Thinsulate gloves over shooting gloves so I can keep taking the over gloves off when my hands get warmer. Just bought some MacWets because they do help keep the heat in as well as work well in the rain. As an option, buy two pairs of thinsulates and cut the index finger off or slit it, so cheap and such great heat keepers. I bought a couple of pairs Hot Socks 3 years ago and they work really well, also sell as Heat Holders, same product, worn with a normal pair of everyday socks underneath, all day comfort and I can stand hours in the water fishing with these under my

    Now I am a plonker when it comes to striping down guns to do mods as Chris (seamaster) will confirm, thank you Chris for your help with the bits on the Ultra, however, this is not something to just take back for a refund my friend, it is a classic and a few quid and some outside help if needed would be very worthwhile because these things are going to become more and more hard come by BUT YOU WILL OWN A CLASSIC while others will not.

    Yes, I have heard about the marking on the mag but it doesn't really cause a problem indexing from what I heard. Cracking gun. Phil

    I am with you David, shorts and tea shirt. If I go into our village shop in long trousers, they ask if I am going to a funeral or wedding, xmas shopping in shorts, much to the annoyance of my dear wife. When I used to keep a fishing boat in Grimsby dock, we used to go out in the worst weather for the cod and one product I bought was the best bit of clothing I have ever bought, Sundridge Sleep Skin or sleep suit. Worn under any outer clothes and I was toasty warm and I think you can still buy them.....................very very good Yes you are a southern pansy Jon Phil

    The Derwent Si, pike or grayling. Down my neck of the woods the Derwent is trout / grayling water so what do you get up there. Phil

    I am somewhat jealous matey, it is at the very top of my wish list for next year. Only had a few shots with one at the game fair and hooked good style just wished somebody round here had one for to me have have a session because the scope on the one I tried was utter rubbish for me, blurred as hell although I am certain I will be getting one or perhaps two. Have you had any mag indexing issues with your .177 as I heard the .22 was no problem but the .177 had this problem. Phil

    I popped over to my perm today in very heavy rain on route to a fishing session, just to scan over the fields BUT the land next to my perm had well over 1000 canada geese on the wet stubble. Out with the binos as this huge skeen took to the air making a real old noise in the process. 200 yds and they will be slap bang on my perm................................ooooh how I wish The rain feel good style so the fishing was done under a motorway ( where the motorway runs over the river), no pike but a good banter with hot coffee and my fishing buddy so not a bad day, need a bit of frost to

    Let me get this right Si, you bought Accupels already washed and lubed..................................from where. Phil

    Nice one Mark, I'm pleased you went the older glass route to complete the real classic air rifle package. Spot on matey. Phil

    Hmmm my FAC ticket should be here this month if things are not too far behind.................... Thanks for the invite, I will certainly let you know if I get up Wakefield way. Phil

    Just a thought Mark, are you going to try and get hold of old scopes to keep in tune with the period, I bet there a few still kicking around in the back drawers of some RFD's who would love to get rid for a few quid. I think I would take this route in order to stay true to the era you want to remember. Some of the Simmons scopes are basic but good and still around. Food for thought sir. Phil

    Perhaps we will be needing a 'Classic Guns' section soon. Hope you enjoy it Mark. Phil

    Just had a look at Pellpax site, very nice but it looks like your cheek is on the mag or perhaps not, difficult to say but it must be very very close. If that is the case, is it comfortable to use. A really good price though, less than half the cost of the Wildcat that I want. Phil

    Love the look of your perm Mark, reminds me of a Forestry Commission perm I had some years ago, sadly a change of area manager changed that. Phil

    I will have a think about that mate, could have a mini meet, you, little hunter, David and me not forgetting Si,.....................where to pull the trigger though. Phil

    I have changed my opinion regarding reticle design/thickness on different scope makes. I started off wanting a strong image but as I got better needed something a bit finer and then bought an MTC Genesis with much finer reticle than anything else I had used but when I got used to it, I could never go back to a thicker reticle. In fact the Ultra that I have just bought has a BSA scope which has a really thick reticle and I just can't see the target so that is already off and going to the RFD to part ex on something. Take a little time to check the quality of the reticle on the scope you might

    One here Jimmy if he wants to try it out mate. Phil

    That's true Mark BUT and there is always a BUT, there is a lot of dosh to go back into the bank account because trust me, when you build these things with quality products, it costs, OH MY GOD does it cost, £85 for a sheet of lightweight wood finish ply, I won't bore you with details as there are 3 A4 sheets of inventory lists in the file so the £15k will reduce by a very large amount. We have had a few people look at the project whilst it was being built, saying things like, I might think of doing this myself......................they don't know the half. This is the third one I have been

    It will be going on at £15k but understand this is not a sales ad, I was just showing something that I am quite proud of. It will be going on ebay soon. Phil
