    True Mitch but at least if I miss the rabbits will be heard saying, 'WHERE THE FECK DID THAT COME FROM' Phil

    You can only take it that it is not an issue because they are selling like hot cakes, certainly with the 3 RFD's that I have spoken to and following Si Pittaway who swears it is a tack driver so who knows. Phil

    Looks good Jimmy, I will do the same tomorrow and give you a laugh. Phil

    It's not a dud Rez, I was having a play with one in the shop last week and I totally agree with Si, there is quite a bit of movement at the forend. He has sold around 25 now with glowing reports back from the punters and one faulty one which was exchanged straight away. They are lighter but do not have the feel of the R10. I really want to like it but just don't somehow as I thought it would make a good ratter but can't see me getting one to be honest. Phil

    To be completely honest Si, until I can put up a half decent group, I don't think it is worth bothering about pellet tests because I am not good enough yet. I tried some FAP today which looked quite good but with only a 15mt garden, it is not really not long enough to draw any conclusions. I am popping over to the RFD tomorrow who has a 25mt range so I may have a better idea then. I read that a springer should perform better with a light pellet than anything else but don't know if that is true. I have about 10 tins of different pellet types to play with but thought I would wait until after I

    I was going to buy the Prosport but when I picked up the rifle I found it heavy, then picked up the TX200HC next to it, no contest, the TX won in terms of weight between my hands. I do wish however I had tried the prosport on the range but my purchase was made and I am happy with the decision. Phil

    I had a go with one at the shooting show and was very impressed, if it was a shotgun, I would have described it as fast handling and the balance suited me too Si with a touch of butt heavy but only a touch. I too will be very interested how you get on and what shot count you get from it. Phil

    He will die an old man in my garden along with me. Phil

    My envy of your groups is not fading very much Matt but I confess to an improvement in my groups using the trigger sticks with my TX but alas not in the same league as you yet, I will however master this bloody springer if it kills me Phil

    Ohhh my god David, I never twigged, what a dick.................... Quite funny, that metal 'duck' or whatever it is has the attention of the pheasant quite often giving it a peck on his way past. I am just laughing to myself here David, there's no fool like an old fool mate. Phil
  11. philpot
    I tell you what David, this little chap gets through quite a bit of seed, I put out about 1.5 pints of bird food a day, good job I buy it in 25kg sacks but it is worth it. Phil

    I am very pleased to see the return of our local pheasant who has not been around since we went on holiday, he is just a nice sight in the garden. And before anyone says he will make a nice meal, I have two females who would shoot me if I even suggested him for the pot and to be honest, I like to see him strutting around. Photo's taken from inside the house so not too sharp through the window. Phil

    I may have put up the wrong link because someone in UK is selling them. The guys who have bought them, swear by them being good kit but I have no knowledge myself. I went to look at the Viper at the shooting show and saw the add on NV range finder but the price....................................a piece of kit looking so similar can be bought on ebay for about a third of the price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Scope-Mountable-Laser-range-Finder-Works-with-Night-Vision-Shock-Waterproof-/111973019631?hash=item1a121cafef:g:mQUAAOSwKfVXGUsP From the feedback on another forum, it appears that it is

    I will be very interested in your findings Mark because I have good and not so good things about them. I actually looked for them at the shooting show but I didn't see any. Phil

    I like the leaf strip to go on the net, that looks really good, I have just ordered some. I have net veil and gloves but not with leafy bits on although the green veil doesn't look very natural, a bit too green I think. Phil
  16. philpot
    Thanks Si I put the link for the NV range finder really for Jonjon as I thought it might be of interest if he thought that was an issue, as for me, I have little experience and may get one as time goes by if my little pension provider lets me. I really want a .22 so that is higher on my wish list. Phil

    Strewth Jimmy, you have this subject sown up good style, that is one serious camo job or two. I think the net and tape break down even better than the dipped gun/scope. Phil

    Lost your tickets.............................I would be up for murder if anything caused me to lose my shotgun license, very sorry to hear that. Good choice of rifle even if it was a forced move. Phil
  19. philpot
    Ahh, a different type Mark, I am surprised the RFD didn't know of the product but in truth I don't normally deal with him, strange bloke, it was just that he is close to me. I will try the RFD I usually go to as I will be in there this week. Cheers Mark Phil

    Just found the Brunox Turbo oil you use on ebay, seems it is used on motor bikes as well as general purpose, no wonder it is not sold in my RFD Phil
  21. philpot
    Yes I have the same rangefinder Mark and I think Mitch has forgotten more about NV than I will ever know but for someone like me who has never been involved in night shooting other than wildfowl on a winters night on the salt marsh, this little device looks okay for the money, I will how ever be shooting without one first to see (or not see ) how I go on. I wonder if Napier Power Airgun oil will do the job as I have some. Does it affect the 'O' ring with oil on the mag Mark. Phil

    I got both the 25 and 30mm from ebay about £6 each if all else fails. Phil

    I will show how old I am by remembering that we were part of E.F.T.A. (European Free Trading Association) long before we joined the Common Market which gave us a trading relationship with other countries, we then joined the Common Market to increase our ability to trade further with other countries. Let us just take a step back for a moment, the key word is TRADE and that is the only reason to be part of what then became the EU. We are now part of a faceless group who are telling this and all other countries what to do and what standards we have to keep. Germany is all powerful and I take

    Quote: (p.s. give a very light spray of gun oil to the loading side of your HW 100 magazine,every other refill - makes a big improvement to group sizes.) I have not heard of that before Mark but will give it a try, what spray oil do you use. As I now have a good rabbit perm with ideal night shooting from a statuary position on undulating ground, I had thought of getting one of these which can be used as a night viewing scope as well as a range finder rather than scanning with the gun. A few of the guys on another forum really rate them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6x32-Digital-IR-Nig
