HAS ANYBODY had dealings with Pellpax
philpot replied to redial's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Welcome aboard Brian, interesting that you have picked up on a thread from 2011 but nevertheless it is always good to hear good things about a dealer. I have never dealt with them nor would I because if we do not support our local rfd, they may not be there when we do need them. I have witnessed people bringing rifles into my rfd with a fault and because it was new and my rfd is an agent for the rifle, they expect them to sort out the issue as it is under warrenty, normally they are referred back to where they got it from and quite rightly. I have borrowed dozens of guns to test, scopes -
Just ordered two from this guy for the p35. Phil

The truth can be so hurtful Mitch

I think from what I have both read and been told that I am lucky it seems as we still have plenty on our perms ....................................................................... so far. Phil

I was talking to an rfd I know in Suffolk who told me they are not stocking .22lr rifles as there are so few rabbits to be had in the region. For years there have always been huge numbers in the area I know so well. Phil

Well BSA has finally seen the light a brought out a side lever Ultra, CLX 160th Anniversary model which comes with a lovely grey laminate stock and a shite bsa scope all fitted in a nice hard case at a very cheap price of a grand all but a penny. My rfd has 4 in stock and they are really nice but not at a price that floats my boat although my shooting pal fell in love and ordered a .22 which he will pick up when he is back from holiday. I confess the side lever is far far better than the bloody awful fear bolt (hate rear bolts) and feels good in the shoulder. It is a pity this new gun d

As some of you know, you now need to make up a minimum order value of £135 to buy direct from Carm but there is another way however admin I have to be a bit naughty here because there is a chap on another site who collects orders for people until the value reaches the amount required then places the collective order with Carm. So as to not break forum rules, pm me if you want the details. I will be getting a few for my P35 in the next few weeks. Phil

The gun looks good Jason but you deffo need to wait for some decent weather, pity to spoil it now. Phil

View Advert NiteSite Eagle nv This is an almost new NiteSite Eagle used less than half a dozen times. It has both IR light intensity control and screen brightness control which means the passive light on your face / body is very low if needed so doesn't scare off quarry. I comes with a high capacity battery which can be clipped to the scope or via cable (included) in your pocket. The unit also comes with both mains and car chargers and is in as new condition. The range of these units is stated at 500yds which is twaddle but 200mts should be no problem,

This is an almost new NiteSite Eagle used less than half a dozen times. It has both IR light intensity control and screen brightness control which means the passive light on your face / body is very low if needed so doesn't scare off quarry. I comes with a high capacity battery which can be clipped to the scope or via cable (included) in your pocket. The unit also comes with both mains and car chargers and is in as new condition. The range of these units is stated at 500yds which is twaddle but 200mts should be no problem, at 135mt, I can easily pick out long grasses / twigs and rabbits are very pronounced at that sort of range. I have not used it at any longer distances so cannot confirm stats. The NV can be picked from North Lincs or posted at no extra charge if the asking price is reached.£200

That was the first thing I thought as well Jimmy.

Very well done Jason, that stock looks superb. Phil

The likeness is uncanny Mitch................................................barstewards. Where is IanB when you want him, HARASSMENT!!!! ? Phil

You lot need to stop taking the micky out of us older citizens.................................twats ? Phil

Ask the rfd to loan you a s/h gun to keep you going for the time being. The worst he can say is 'no' so worth a try. Phil

Quite dashing really but the cammo effect is still giving me trouble.

Thats the last time I loan you a bloody dress Jimmy if you can't keep it to yourself. ??

I am beyond councelling Mitch ?

Just hate the fact that you can 'play' with it and put different clothes on it.....................buy a doll with extra dresses and play, much cheaper..........................................................thats what I do ? Phil

Now that is one FX I wouldn't buy, plenty of other better guns but ALL of them are better in fac. Phil

The tension is building....................................... Phil

Methinks perhaps Jimmy will be first Jason.

My dear wife lets me stay up if I have been a good old boy so I am around for another hour as I don't need to get up early being a retired ole tart. Get yourself a firearms ticket Jason and the Impact is yours providing you cross my palms with enough coinage. I am of the same mind Mitch regarding the .22lr. Phil

May your mother and father soon be married Mitch.........................................BARSTEWARD ? I really love the handling of the Wildcat and the weight advantage it has over the Impact and whilst I do love my Impact, it tends to be left in the cabinet. The Tikka is cracking but in all honesty, again it is not used much at all and my thought is to replace it with an 17hmr to offer a different aspect despite me not being a fan of the rifle however I am thinking there are a few perms where it could be an advantage. All just thoughts buzzing around in my head at present.

rifle with night vision recommendations
philpot replied to maddy1984's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
It would help Maddy if you could give us a budget so we can advise with that in mind. There are now quite a number of 'add-on' systems to work with a day scope plus electronic day/night scopes and of course a torch, it is all down to budget. You are not a million miles from me so if you wanted to come over here, will either take you to my dealer in Scunthorpe who has a 25mt indoor range where we can test a few guns / nv units as they have a number of good s/h guns and scopes in stock at all times or have a shoot on one of our perms with some of our gear. My buddy makes nv add-on units for ab
