    Have you still got that green HW100 BN, I really liked the look of that. Phil

    I was a repro specialist for The Konica corpoation whizzing around Europe, Japan and the US and finished up as uk dealer sales manager selling all pre press items, Plates, film etc plus press chemicals. I worked for Dantex Graphics in Bradford linked with Konica and then for a really shit company called openshaws. There were some great times in the print industary with loads of money........................ah well, I love my retirement but miss those salaries I can tell you. ? Phil

    Are we talking about Pindar Print here boys. I used to call in to see them as I was in the print game. Trying to remember the guy's name who ran the repro department, you will not what the hell I am talking about if this is not Pindar Print however. Phil

    Got me thinking as well SD and just showed the photo to my pal so now he is interested in one...............................you have started something here Tom. Phil

    Bloody crap DB. You have to consider that the dark ops has a big reduction in range over the 850 nan light so if you want a wolf 940nan, buy an Eagle to get the same distance. I was actually told that by NiteSite staff at a show. To be honest, they are not worth the extra money. Phil

    I totally agree LS, the NiteSite despite all the Ward 700/800 units and the onslaught of Pard everywhere you turn, has a very valid place in night time shooting. I have both the Wolf and the Viper and for ratting, they are supreme in my eyes and despite the light from screen, I rarely scare rabbits away ( I admit once they see my face, most things run like hell ). I am using the wolf at the moment on a spare scope as a spotter hand held which is brilliant from the car checking fields. My shooting partner has gone the Pard route, in fact I am just having a play with an 007 he bought to joi

    Oh hell Tom, that is even better mate and perfect for two perms I have where there are lots and lots and lots etc etc of pigeons but a little close to houses. Perfik..... Phil

    I had a Rapid .22 fac which was good but a bit heavy and then one day in the rfd, he had an impact sub 12 .22 s/h come in so I popped into the shop's 25mt range to have a few shots with it. My god, once in the shoulder, you cannot fail to see how good they feel, just something about them and I had to have one. They have a customer with far more money than sense who buys a new gun then puts it in the shop to sell and buys another gun the exact same. He brought in a three month old .25 fac, it was love at first sight and my pal had my Rapid. I must tell you that about 6 weeks later the guy

    Hang on Tom, are you saying the Investarm o/u has some kind of noise suppressor fitted or have I misunderstood you. Phil

    Like Si, I have a .25 FX Impact fac which is cracking and never fails to put a smile on my face. I have owned two FX Wildcats, .177 and .22 and loved them. They are a dream to walk around with, tack drivers, light as a feather (2.6kg) and around 250 shots per fill. What is not to like............................................the mag is only 8 shot and I would have thought the only improvement to make is a bigger mag. Wish I had not sold mine but I needed the money to buy the Impact. Don't believe all the rubbish about FX being unreliable, there are always the odd issue but most of

    Certainly looks interesting but is ELR mainly a target load or is it used for hunting as well because I have no knowledge of it, like many things in life when I think about it........ Phil

    Nice one Sean, I take it the rifle we spoke about is a non starter. No ticket yet but I have found a rifle. Phil
  16. philpot
    Agreed but I also enjoy range time as well. love pellet testing and live ammo testing as well. Phil
  17. philpot
    Thanks Simon. The HW100 has long gone and 95% of my shooting is fac .25 so little or no sub 12 in fact I think I only shot maybe 50 shots all last year with sub12 and that was .22. Times change... Phil
  18. philpot
    I confess that despite trying lighter .177 pellets Simon, my best groups were with Bis Mags in the HW100 and gave me the confidence I never really felt with lighter pellets for hunting. I also liked the JSB Heavy but for some reason nobody sold them near me so stuck with BS. Phil
  19. philpot
    I agree Mitch, in fact my pal and I have just set up an 81mt range out of the wind in our quarry perm and hoping to extend it to 100mts in time but need to do a bit more work to get there. I love practicing and pellet testing and the new range will give us scope for the rimfire and centre fire as well but holding judgement on centrefire as neither of us have got our variation tickets back and therefore not bought the .223 rifles yet. Looking hard though. Phil

    Ah, here we need the advice of some of our other members because I am too old and lazy to have gone the route of a pump. If nobody comes forward with advice Daniel, start a new thread ' pump advice needed' and I know there are some guys on here who know the score. Phil
  21. philpot
    To be honest Mitch, I think his results are pretty poor taking into account the many results I have seen on 101 and youtube. Perhaps it is down to Matt and I am not being unkind but if you aint good enough, you aint good enough and I am happy to put myself in that group because I have not tried to put together a group at 100yds. Yes I have shot rabbits out to that and a bit further BUT never tried to produce a group and never tried slugs. I confess that I thought he would have got better results but his name is not VILLAMAN ? Phil

    I think it is heavy because it looks like either a target or HFT stock rather than the normal sporter stock. Take a tip Daniel, don't run the air tank down to empty or it will be a sod to pump up, instead top it up after say 20 shots so that way you should stay within the correct point of impact. Get mom and dad to buy you an air cylinder and whip for xmas then it will only take you 30secs to fill it but the pump can be taken out in the fields when you go. What scope is fitted. Phil

    Mr Manning has been testing the H&N slugs in his Impact. The Airgun Show, impact / slug test. For some reason I cannot post the link but if you key in that title it should come up. Phil

    I hope you get plenty of enjoyment with your new gun Daniel. Phil
  25. philpot
    My rfd has one of these in s/h in mint condition but I know very little about Savage guns so don't know if they are a good gun or not so it would be good to get your views on the gun. Phil
