    I would have swapped places happily Jimmy, we had a monster of a thunder storm with about 10 seperate seriously heavy downpours, a few places in the village flooded or I should say the streets were but just for a change, we were fine, no flooding around our cottage today thankfully. Long may it continue. Phil

    I have had one for about three years now and find them to be excellent although I don't use the two point rest, not very good in my opinion but never go out without the tripod. As for shooting prone, yes spot on just cant get back up again for fecks sake ? Phil

    Nice going NP and what a lovely morning to have a wander. Phil

    No Jake, just spoilt ?

    Agreed Alsone, barley straw is effective on blanket weed but very very slow to work. A good 'Y' blade cutter will soon rid any pond of heavy weed. Phil

    Just think how much that bloody lot cost and the cost of a big carp can run into the thousands as well. Nice looking lake Si, is that where you were going today if you weren't feeling so OLD. ? Phil

    The Hawke Compact do have IR

    Hawke Airmax Compact range. I have one and can confirm that they are superb, my shooting partner also has one which is highly regarded. I have mine on a springer and he has one on his Impact fac. Not cheap but well worth the money. Phil

    Just checked Jake, it is the 18650 cell.
  12. philpot
    I think they are standard 18650 cells Jake, that you can buy from ebay or any E-cig vape shop such as these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2505460.m570.l1311.R1.TR12.TRC2.A0.H1.X18650+batteries.TRS0&_nkw=18650+batteries&_sacat=0 Hope that is right, they are 65mm x 18m dia.

    Thanks SL but I don't think the guy has been back on since so a bit of a waste really, never mind, one of those things. Phil

    Looks like you popped on a MTC Mamba scope on your hmr Stav. Nice reticle but I find them to flare out white when in changing light. Still got one left mind. Phil

    I know what you mean Mitch as my hw110k performed really well when I took it out but my mistake as I bought a .22 and struggled with holdover after running the Impact for the previous 3 years or is it 4 years, never mind, next time it will be a .177 then it might get more use. Phil

    I nearly said, over a hundred but thought that might seem silly .................................................... WOW John, that is some collection. Phil

    A touchy subject, badgers are a powerful and deadly killer of anything it can get it's claws on. We have a big chicken farm close to me where the farmer was convinced it was foxes killing his birds until I set up the trail camera, then he knew what was killing his chickens. They are protected and that is that, although it makes me laugh when the general public think they are cute and only eat snails etc, if only they knew and watched one ripping a hedgehog into pieces while the poor little bugger is screaming out loud, I have, very upsetting to be honest. Nasty b%stards and should be culle

    Ah yes, Mid Wales Shooting Ground, that is the one I meant not North Wales. Good on yer Meece. Phil

    What is that white thing at the top of the first photo DB. I had a look at one yesterday in the rfd and agree they are a bit on the heavy side but if on a bipod or tripod, it would okay in a static position was my own thought. Phil

    How many rifles have you got John .................................................................... I will have a bet there are quite a few. Phil
  21. philpot
    Well you know Trish and myself are always there for you my old friend and of course if you want to drive a bit further, a warm welcome waits for you Jimmy. Phil
  22. philpot
    Here you go, a few to look at. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2505460.m570.l2632.R2.TR7.TRC2.A0.H0.Xpellet+pouch.TRS0&_nkw=pellet+pouch&_sacat=7301 Phil
  23. philpot
    Yes I had one from ebay but in all honesty, I didn't get on with it and gave it away. You will find something suitable on ebay or Amazon. Get your sling on there as well. Phil
  24. philpot
    We are in total agreement there Jimmy. ? Phil

    I am pleased to say that my local rfd has decided to dip his feet into stocking FX rifles with the first stock arrived last week, Crowns, Dreamline, Impact and Impact Short. I just kept looking at the Short as it looked strange but of course when you put it in the shoulder, it;s an Impact in every sense but shorter, quicker and lighter, However, the mod is useless producing a crack when fired although with no pellet and in the shop, it will be louder but in my opinion, a Swift Stumpy would be a much better option with a section or perhaps two removed. No scope on so couldnt take it in
