    A bailiff on a river that I fish has just got a pistol for dispatching mink. I arranged for him to go to my local RFD as I could not be there when he came to the area and left word with the RFD to sort him something suitable, if you want I can ask the RFD as I will be going in tomorrow what the pistol was that he supplied. Really not sure but I think it was a single shot gun. Phil

    I hope you are right Mitch, I simply repeated what I was told by Hull Cartridge, sounds like a lot of people would prefer what you have been told rather than what I was told. With that in mind, it will be interesting to see when they actually become available.

    You got it Mitch and then it is not confirmed, simply that Hull Cartridge are advised the delivery SHOULD be here in September. Also bear in mind that there are over 800 advanced orders plus the stock so we are talking a minimum of 1000 unit required for the UK. Forgive me as I cannot remember the exact numbers involved but trust me when I quote 1000 but I think it is higher than that. Phil

    Premier Guns in Derbyshire alters and fits adjustable combs to all manor of guns and I have thought before when looking at both mine and my wifes shotguns which have these combs that they are not so complicated it is just a matter of getting the rise n fall posts/locks which must be made by some company and supplied to the trade. Now with that Jimmy, wouldn't it be perfect for projects like this allowing you to basically remodel the comb top. The kit can't be too expensive because Premier will do the job for you at approx £200. Just me mumbling to myself, take no notice. Phil

    Would it be worth getting simon to make some paper or card profiles of the side of his left hooker stock to give you a template to work to. If you got 4 or 5 profiles, it would give you a real guide to model the stock to. It is a great opportunity to take your stock finishing skills up to the next level Jimmy, good on her mate. Phil

    To be honest Rez, I left the camera and phone in the car which really annoyed me as I wanted to put some photo's up. One very good point was that you got a 30 page free show guide, a great help to find who is where and a refreshing change from most shows where they try to rip you off. Phil

    No problem at all and we didn't get there until noon. If you have pre paid, there is a car park closer for those who have tickets. The normal car park is a pleasant 10 min walk. It is worth taking a jumper as the wind blows a bit there although I was fine, my wife got a little cold. Phil

    A guy at the shooting show bought one with the two point rest and took it out of the bag outside the halls with several of his mates trying it on for size and whilst I did not buy the two point rest for mine, it did look good when they were playing with it. Phil

    Trish (my wife) and I have just got home after visiting the show which was very enjoyable. I went there on a mission with specific things in mind and on that score it was a success. I have been looking at a springer as some of you may have read but could not decide which to go for, the list was Air Arms Prosport and TX200HC or Weihrauch 97k or 77k, Walther Underlever which I cannot remember the model but really was not that interested after owning an RM8 so that was dropped very very quickly. After much discussion with various stands and some test shooting, the TX came out on top in sooooo

    Fantastic, well done young fella. I think you and grandad are going to a lot of fun this summer. Very well shot. Phil

    It is worth phoning Countryway as they are a big supplier but the web page only says 4.5 as do most places so you need to speak to them Rez. http://www.countrywaygunshop.co.uk/product/hn-field-target-trophy-177-22-20-25-air-rifle-pellets/ Phil

    I should have said earlier, the magazine is foolproof and the adjustable laminate stock version I have is superb. NOW GO AND BUY ONE !!!!!! Phil

    There are some very experienced HW100 owners on here who will I am sure be able to enlighten you more than I can BUT all I can say is that, like you, I heard so many good things about these rifles, I decided to exchange my gun for one of these.................the best thing I ever did, These guns just feel right for me, will outshoot me, and when this old fool does it right, produce one hole groups all day long. Try one if you have not already done so. Phil

    I wish I could remember but it is around 40 years ago but I have just googled the G80 but no photo's. The best way to describe it would be a very short springer that looks to have a full length shroud so it looks quite chunky. I think they were also branded Milbro Diana. I will keep looking but thanks Mark. Phil

    Awsome matey just awsome, Does the but plate much work to get the fit correct. Phil
  16. philpot
    Just for a moment Mark, the first photo looks like you have had extra long barrel and cylinder fitted, then saw in the second photo, it was the trigger sticks, silly old bugger. Nice shooting mark. Changing the subject, do you find the TX200 shoots well of the sticks with the recoil. Phil

    You know the more I see what you are doing Jimmy and the genuine appreciation you have Simon for the work being done, I think we all share in your joy of what is about to land on your door. Very interesting post Jimmy, I think I might print this off if you don't mind. Phil

    You know it is such a pity that we can't see the little fella actually shooting but I understand why you would not post photo's with all the issues with children on web sites and the nasty stuff that goes on, anyway it's good to hear he is enjoying himself and clearly doing well with his new gun. He is a lucky grandson and I think you are a lucky grandad being able to share the sport with him. When my son was about 6 or 7, ( he is now 46) I bought him a Diana ???? rifle, it was very small and the barrel was wrapped in sheet tin/steel so it made the gun look as though it has a thicker tube

    September they are hoping for, not confirmed yet...... Phil
  20. philpot
    Yes that was exactly what I was getting at Jimmy because the TX seemed to be front end heavy but of course as I know next to nothing about the high end springers so it may be that this is normal. I have just had a chat with Hull Cartridge about the differences between the 77 and 97 guns and the guy told me that they have an open day on Sunday 29th May at Humberside Shooting Ground with all the guns present for trying out so that is one for the diary. Just as a matter of interest, they have pre orders for 820+ HW110 and added to this they have ordered another 250 for their stock. The fi

    oooohhhh really pretty, me likeyyyy. Am I right in thinking that they are a little lighter at the barrel than a 97 / 77 with the under lever tucked away .

    One for you Simon, the sixth one down, a lefty custom stock 77 http://www.shootingsupplies.info/gunroom.html Sorry, it wont go straight to the gun but select air rifles and the 77 custom lefty is the sixth one down the list Phil
  23. philpot
    Right you have just helped me decide Jimmy, I will not buy the TX until I have at least tried some HW rifles but the prosport, well I have never even seen one. Phil Just had a look at the 97, quite similar to the TX £440 new, see what I can find s/h, not sure about another .177 or a .22, Oh god here we go................................................. Just found this one http://southertonguns.com/weihrauch-hw97k-22-air-rifle/ I'm in love but a bit more than I want to pay however a lovely 77 http://www.duncansgunmakers.co.uk/pre_owned/spring_air/images/HW77Lam.jpg

    Right Simon and Jimmy, a few things to think about there chaps. I had wondered about a Weihrauch because I love the quality of my 100 and may decide to have a good look around before jumping in and perhaps it might be more beneficial to sit and talk with you two prior to making that purchase, at the end of the day, I no longer have a nice salary coming in so I need to ensure I make the right choice. We are off to Highlodge in Suffolk on the 14th for the week and it will be the last time I shoot my Berretta DT10 sporter shotgun as I have decided to sell her when we get home so I will have s
