    I have never owned a Beretta semi auto so perhaps I will take one out to try. It isnt going to be well used, occasionly on clays for my daughter and on the pigeon / corvids in the hide so not wanting to spend much on a gun that is not going to get a lot of use. My old cammo Hatsan is sat in the shop so I may just buy it again, at least I know it shoots well or used to anyway. I am after another sub 12 pcp air rifle as well so must balance the books ? Phil

    Yes totally agree, the Hatsan has it's haters but I have had two and both were good as gold and sold them to pals, my mistake. I am in the rfd tomorrow as I only borrowed the Fabarm as I often do with guns when they are s/h, in some cases to show other people and some cases just to try one out which was the case with the Fabarm, I just liked the look and feel of the gun and thought it would be nice in the hide. I will have a look again to see what there is tomorrow. Phil

    Fcuking dick head, you are so far up your own arse it must sting. It is 'Newtons third law of motion' so try to quote the right thing next time.

    If you get it Deker, load it with Air Arms Heavy, 18gr pellets. I was put onto them by a Rapid specialist and he was right, tack drivers. Phil

    Still shoot plenty of bunnies though Mitch old boy and what about some of the other systems, Pulsar, X=sight, erc that weigh a ton, the niteshite (lightweight) is one you hate but it works and thousands of rats and rabbits up and down the country are no longer able to tell you that fact. ?

    Same ole shit again meece, 'not holding the gun correctly' bla bla bla, after winning a place in the north of England teams, the odd championship and a great many competitions around the country......................................................................I think I know how to hold and use a shotgun albeit an o/u and amazingly an auto but thanks for your valuable input.

    The Streamline I had was an air cylinder not a bottle. Must confess I didn't check if it comes off but there will be something on youtube somewhere. Very nice rifle and the only reason I sold it was it's length as I was very used to shorter rifles and bulpups so it seemed too long for me. Phil

    Must admit Jon, it is very rare that my Nitesite units ever scare anything away and with the screen light control I can reduce the ir beam seperately to the screen, despite how they are disliked by a number of lads here, they work for me using standard ..............850nan............ir light. Pav and everyone else.......................................I am getting confused with my pills, think I must have taken the wife's instead of mine, I need a paracetamol or three, I will go back into my burrow. No fool like an ole fool !!! ? Phil

    So sorry, I am having one of my senior moments ........................................................ as above 940 nan is the black sun pill. The link shows all the range available with the two lamps on the bottom row being ir, left hand light is 940 and I was trying to show the difference. Old fool am I !!!!

    Well I stripped down the gun taking out the trigger unit as well and it was all very very clean in fact it looked like it had just come from the factory. I tried 30gr Gamebore Clear Pigeon with some 32gr I tried yesterday but this time I tested three different butt pads including the Isis x pad, Beretta and Browning recoil pads and the outcome..................................fcuk it, it kicks like hell, it can go back to the shop, great pity but I have had enough. Bugger it, I will see what else there is. Phil

    A black ir is simply an ir operating at 850nanometers whereas the normal ir runs at 940 nan. The 850 is supposed to have no visible trace but having never used one, I cannot comment BUT the 850nan ir doesn't have the range of the standard ir and from what I read, it is quite a bit less range. I do not know if the camera in the scope / nv is different when using the black pill so it may or may not work for you Jimmy. I think this advert shows it better, the bottom left lamp is 850nan and next to it on the right is a standard 940nan lamp. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T20-Osram-Infrare

    It's a bit weird that Jimmy, why should switching on the ir make them bolt. Hope you didn't sell the Endurance mate, looks like you might need it. ? If the Pard 019 has no effect, then you need to borrow an 008 or 007 in case the laser in the Pards is not having any effect, I don't have one otherwise you could have borrowed that. Phil

    It fires the first shot but either doesn't eject the first shell completely or doesn't bring the second into the chamber only making it halfway. Not the case with heavier cartridges. I do think the 30gr will be a nice fit for the gun and not too heavy. Phil

    Yes you are right Matt Dubber does some great hunting in SA, I have watched his channel for a few years, 'Airgun 101' is where you will find lots of fac airgun action. Phil

    I picked a Fabarm semi auto with 26'' barrels the other week and took it to the local clay shoot on Thursday afternoon. It is very quick to handle getting on the target with ease BUT it did not like my Eley Superb 28gr cartridges and in fact I tried a few different makes but it was not cycling any of them which is a pity as the first cartridge was breaking the clays very nicely with a fixed half choke, before jamming every time for the second shot. It will not be any good for clays which is a pity as my daughter wanted to use it on occasions but that was never it's intended purpose. Hmm

    They should have come my way in that case ? Phil

    You are a gent Stav, please add my name to go in the hat . Phil

    I had a Rapid .22 fac and was guided Air Arms Heavy at 18gr and whilst they are made by JSB, their performance was better so if you stay with pellets, try them out. Phil

    I expected nothing less John, a collection to make us drool, I hear you bought the house next door to keep all your guns in ................................................ ? The Crossman would be my route as well SD. Phil

    Well I don't need to comment Mitch regarding Sportsman other than to say they are always posting guns for sale on Gun Trader which are not available and have no delivery dates. I challenged them and was told they don't put the adverts on, Gun Trader pop them on without asking .................................... utter boll0cks they should stick with Gaystate as they are both well matched.......................sh1t companies to deal with with no integrity.
