    One thing that struck me was the adjustable stock is a bit wobbly which does mean getting your face firmly set on the stock in the same position is not so easy. I think the NP02 is a better gun IMHO Phil

    Nice to see you are getting out again Mark. Phil

    I must confess my wife likes to shoot DTL and its good fun but I do get a bit grumpy if I completely miss a bird however it's a good warm up before I go on the Olympic Trap layouts, now those buggers are fast. I still shoot a bit of sporting especially at John Bidwell's shooting ground, High Lodge in Suffolk when we stay there. We are booked in for a week in October and I am rally looking forward to it. Try to use 1/2 choke for your first shot and no more than 3/4 for the second, if needed, thats all I use for all my trap shooting as does my wife and she is only using 21gr cartridges, jus

    Perhaps some clever lad on electronics may be able to do it but why would you when the NiteSite does it anyway. I used to shoot around 1000 rats per year at our dairy farm and both my buddy and myself used NiteSite as we are always scanning those dark corners and whilst my pal has 008 and 007 units and loves them, even he would not part with his NiteSite for ratting, far far easier to have a quick sweep of the rifle at waist height than near eye system.

    True although I believe they have reformed the company with a slightly different name with a new range of near eye nv units, they are proberbly importing from China some 007 copy. Phil

    Still got yours then Mitch ?? Phil

    Don't feel stupid fella, I have used NiteSite Viper and Wolf for years and whilst I have not had your issue, these things can catch you out. Not so popular nowadays with all the Pard units out there and the company closed down a couple of years ago, there is someone on facebook who carrys a large stock of spares. I also use a Pard 007 but nothing beats the nitesite for ratting and scanning an area, I would not get rid of both my units, far too useful. Phil

    No idea, I don't know much about these guns. Phil

    Interesting development with this gun, I picked up another mod to help my buddy out but it was still spreading the group like a shotty. In fact we tested two hw mods which were no better although with no mod, it is pellet on pellet. I can only assume the thread of the barrel is sloppy which it feels like it all the way until it meets the rebate in the barrel where it goes solid BUT I am guessing the thread is badly cut. Needless to say the rifle is boxed up ready to go back next week. Phil

    There we go Mitch, no harm done

    No No No Mitch, oh how you misunderstand, I never said I shot it in the garden, Oh No No No, that was a feral at the local dairy farm.......................honestly. We don't want people to get the wrong impression you know. ? It came with a BSA scope but as I bought this little number a couple of years ago for a project and the fact that BSA scopes are shite, I switched them over and this one is much better. Phil

    Whilst in our rfd last week, my wife, Trish, was chatting with an old friend and so was I but with someone else, in the midst of this Trish was stood next to a cute little camo stocked Co2 gun, so she picked it up, shouldered it said it was really nice and put it back. I was deeply involved in conversation when my pal the rfd handed me a bag od Co2 capsules saying I will need those, Why, I asked and with a smile he said for Trish's new toy.................................yes she did, she had bought the little cute gun catching her eye that morning. The gun comes with 2 barrels, the 17'' b

    Just been setting up an NP03 this morning for my pal as his garden gun but the mod was clipping and way to heavy so that needs changing but with one of my mods on it was pellet on pellet in my garden, Nice thing with this gun is you set the scope for optimum position with the adjustable stock set forward a little then simply click the release button and slide the stock right back for using the Pard 007, 10 sec job and a good idea in mt opinion.

    I only know of two people with these Ben and both are utter shite. I would take it back and swap for something else to be honest. Phil
  19. philpot
    Or both

    My shooting pal had one of those NP02, good little guns but he sold it for some reason however today he told me he popped in to our rfd and picked up the NP03 just for garden shooting. Phil

    Nice one Si, it's amazing how boring it gets when you are stuck at home, by the way who shot the target for you ................................................ ? Phil

    Razzle Dazzle Jimmy, it's a little sweety. Have you changed your car as that's not your truck. Phil
  24. philpot
    Give Forest Lodge Guns, Market Rasen, Lincs a call Ben as they used to sell them, perhaps still do and they have forgotten more about rifles than most shops will ever know. Phil

    Pity you are too far away as I have a 35 export model to sell, you could have tried it, not quite as heavy as the 97 but certainly accurate. Phil
