    As a matter of interest, I have just been to my rfd and a guy came in who was in your position so he is keeping his guns in storage at the rfd until such time as he knows his mind a bit better, I know it is at a cost but may be worth it in the short term. Good luck with it Jake whatever you decide mate. Phil

    I have reason to be looking at security for a pal and the police gave me this link as it covers all aspects of gun security, look at page 9 which covers fitting a cabinet to a caravan so if it is possible to do that, you may find something in here that suits you. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/953881/Firearms_Security_Manual_2020.pdf Phil

    Now you have the 007v, have you found to be suited to all your scopes Mitch.

    Strange........................... I will just try again. Phil

    Well I have spent a bit more time playing around with the new 007v 12mm and although it has taken me a little time to get there but I like it, pity it doesn't like all my scopes. With this version of the Pard 007v using my two Airmax Compact 30 scopes I got very good results and I have to say the field the other side of my cottage wall is 130mt to the tree line and at IR level 2 and the lens halfway out, I could easily see details in the grass by the trees and the wire fence so all good. As most of you know, I have been a NiteSite user for a number of years and never had a problem with them

    Where have you been hiding Jon, it's an age since you have been on here...................................no excuses, just back involved matey, OR ELSE ? Phil

    Sorry to hear that, it is not what anyone wants. As you have had two years on the land, it would be worthwhile asking any and all ajoining landowners / tenents as they will know the previous farmer so you can reference him as your introduction. Failing that, it is a case of hitting the road and cold calling but it is very worthwhile to speak to EVERYONE you know and that means relatives, friends and work mates if they know anyone with land, check with allotments in your area as they can get pestered to death with pigeon, rabbits and rats even churches can have major issues with pigeon althoug

    I have enough with Mitch and Jimmy without you starting Ben.......................................picking on an old gentlemen, not fair ? Phil

    My pal bought one for his .22 rimmy, totally useless as you say, flogged it for £35 as I am guessing everyone knew they were no good. Phil

    Ha bloody ha

    Mitch has beaten me to it Dave but I paid £36 including a £3 extra for a membership card which is worth saying, on the back gives all the benefits including payout values so good to be able to show the farmer actual cover there and then. Learn BASC learn..... Phil

    I looked at some Hawke low converters which work on the same method as BKL mounts and only about 5mm thick as I wanted them on my Sako Quad as the dovetail rails are an odd size for scope mounts. Phil

    I just joined 'Country Cover Club' insurance which gives me £100,000 for legal cover as I dropped out of basc after they dropped legal cover. I now believe we need that cover to protect ourselves and our passion for this sport as the vast majority of shooting men and women are staying within the law so police forces must be taken to task if innocent members of our sport are to be victimised in this way. I seriously hope you are not affected Mitch. Phil

    With the HMR scopes, are they based on zeroing at a certain distance/ mag. Hawke also make a .22 rimfire as well but I thought they a bit restricting in use from what I had heard. Phil

    Or even a 455 perhaps. Must admit I by far prefer the Tikka in terms of handling and the fact that I can swap forend and grip to suit me was a bonus. If it turns out that the hmr rifle get a fair bit of use, I may well go for another Tikka, Phil

    Just picked up some ammo yesterday afternoon and as the dovetail rail is a funny size, I am popping to the rfd to find a dovetail to weaver rail as I prefer weaver anyway. I put the 007v onto my Tikka with OUR scope on...................really bad interference in the viewer to the point I could not tell the difference between the tree line starting and the ground finishing. I then put it on an Airmax Compact, much better but not as good as my pal's image. We were talking through the problem when he said to check the box to see what lens was on this one, 16mm and he found the best results wer

    One other point to thow into the pot, the importer, whose name I cannot recall, were as much use as a chocolate fireguard and suggested it was my fault I was having issues with the reg, over filling with air causing the problems so I guess all the owners whose guns were at Airtech, all over filled their guns. Phil

    I will just expand my thoughts on the RM8 having owned one, please note 'OWNED'. These guns are front end heavy with a 19'' barrel and steel air bottle, with a scope and possibly nv fitted, they are a dead weight. They are accurate but a great many including mine had reg issues, mine ran from 11.6 - 9.3fpe, I did contact Airtech to see what he could do, he said he had six on the bench with the same problems. Airtech were making new custom regs and the fix apart from the reg was to cut the barrel down (sorry I can't remember to what length) and fit a BSA R10 aluminium air bottle with a t

    Well you have far more experience than me Mitch with Pard so I take your word on that.
  23. philpot
    To be honest Jimmy, I was not wild about the 007 but this new 007v is really good, looking forward to picking it up on Wednesday. Phil
  24. philpot
    Ah pleased to hear it Mitch. DB, NiteSite, many a true word spoken in jest me thinks..............................Mitch has a couple but keeps it to himself ?? Phil

    Shooting corvids, a great passion of mine and had not thought of using the hmr for that but at distance, that could be good fun. I took a few out yesterday with my air / fac in the wind, very satisfying. Does the wind cause issues for hmr, I never found it a real problem with wmr but have heard hmr being bad in the wind however of course I have no personal knowledge.........yet. Phil
