    I am also on a quest to get a range finder and have found a couple that seem to fit the bill, one being a day/night finder. The first one does not say what the minimum range is but having spoken to the seller, I am advised that it starts at 3mt which sounds perfect. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262094722766?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The Hawk 400 has gone up in price with a shop price tag of around £134 but the 400 is not waterproof. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hawke-400m-Compact-Digital-Laser-Range-Finder-Golf-Hunting-Shooting-6x-Zoom-/380672494262?has

    Are you going to sell the standard cylinder once you have the A & M cylinder and if so where will you sell it and how much. I want to get the A & M and am told the original cylinder will sell but no idea where to sell it and why would anyone want it. Just wondered. Phil

    I had a look at those Cragman but whilst it was not in front of me, it doesn't seem to be in the same league as the Primos trigger unit. If you watch the youtube footage, you can see just how good these are in terms of flexibility and speed of setting up. I think I will pay the extra but also after a range finder............................ooooooooh which one first... Phil

    Yes mate it is now on the list, new gun--tick, new chrono--tick, range finder and NV being looked into so the list is getting smaller. I thought my clay shooting cost me a lot, however once bought, these things will not need replacing for a while............................I hope. As a matter of interest Mark, where did you buy the trigger stand from, best price I have found is £105 Phil

    They look a seriously good bit of kit for an ole tart with eye sight that gets no better, hearing fading and knees that now crack.........................this might be quite helpful, either that or turn the gun on myself. 30 in my head-------90 when I get out of bed-------------in truth in the middle+3. Prone position is great, just getting back up is the bugger, kneeling, not bad but need a chair to climb on me feet------------------okay not quite but you know where I am coming from, trigger tripod could be a godsend....

    Just looking at those Trigger sticks Mark, which one did you get, mono, bipod or tripod. The tripod will be very stable but just wondered how stable the other two are. Phil

    I have said it before and probably say it again , what is the point of .20 when you have very good heavy pellets in .177 and some very good pellets light pellets in .22 If you look at five words in my post----------PURE SPECULATION ON MY PART. I was not suggesting we all go and buy a .20 cal gun, simply bringing it into the discussion. AND I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR POST ABOUT 20 CAL IMO Okay, fair comment. Please allow me to dig a little further into this out of ignorance not trying to be an arse but by using lighter .22 or heavier .177 pellets in order to g

    Forgive my ignorance but with a .177, if zero is done at 36yds, 9 - 41yds will be bang on the cross hairs or have I misunderstood what you said. if that is the case, I will not bother with 'Chairgun Pro' which suits me down to the ground, not good with computer software and not familiar with .177 YET.

    Makes me wonder why there are so few .20 guns/users around because logic would say that this cal is a happy medium of the other two, better trajectory than a .22, better penetration than a .177 but perhaps not. I have to say that I have never seen one let alone used one so pure speculation on my part...............................i'll get me coat.. Phil

    Thanks guys, I must say although it is very very new to me so time will tell but I think we are going to be together for some time to come.......................a .22 will be bought at some stage for the rats and because I like them. I was going to have the RM8 modified at Airtech but to be honest I was fed up with the power going all over the place so I do want to find another, possibly an Ultra SE for bumping around in barns etc. Phil

    Thanks David, just need to start looking for a perm now and hopefully with that cooler weather on the way, the rats will start to be more of a problem so fingers crossed. Phil

    Oh Mac, where is your sense of adventure........................... After 40+ years of competition clay guns with semi pistol grip stocks, I wanted to try out the thumhole design and after testing a gun, I found that for ME, it helped with my stance/grip for freestanding shooting that I was struggling with. This thing sits just perfect for me and remains very steady, now of course this could be the whole gun but in my eyes it works. As for .177, well it seems there are a hell of a lot of guys out there using .177 to great effect as of course there are with .22 guns but to be honest I h

    After a great deal of thought and with a short list of 4 guns, The HW100KT came out on top. Laminate adjustable stock, .177 and a Deben bipod.

    I have come back to air rifle shooting after many years away and how it has changed. The technology now applied to rifles is amazing. I bought a Walther Rotex RM8 and am now going to sell it as it is not what I want from a rifle so a few quid lost there but a very good value for money gun. After reading a great many posts on a couple of forums it is quite clear that there are huge numbers of Air Arms, BSA and Weihrauch air rifles out there with strong followers to each brand. There are of course many many more makes than these three but they must have the lions share of the UK market from what

    There is now a new compressor on the market but at £1300, only a club would buy one and the time to fill a 4lt bottle was something like 90mins. I just bought a 4lt surface air bottle which is tested every five years so not too bad. Phil

    Well done LTM, I see you are just over the river from me.......................local boys. Phil

    HW100KT .177 with new laminated stock ( very close to ordering) FX Wildcat .22 (my ultimate ratter) Airtec rework my RM8 .22 into a good gun (seen what has has done with another, then I don't need a Brocock) Phil

    Ah don't worry Mac......................it doesn't get any better!!!!!, I get the p1ss taken out of me by my girls and son in law on a regular basis as I did with my dad, funny thing, what goes around, comes around

    Rez, I was not going to buy an HW100 just for rats. I take great pride in my guns and have over the years bought quality rather than quantity but my interest in a ratting gun was so that I could have that gun set up with NV and not be too concerned about a few knocks and scratches around farm buildings but by the same token it must be able to perform. I don't want to spend nearly a grand on a laminated stock HW100 only to get it knocked about. I will spend that on a gun for hunting and general target work but it won't be my ratter. Perhaps this is just the ravings of an old tart, well

    Your painted gun looks fab, not sure about your jimjams however Phil
