    I've been using an Impact GSX100 for a little while Mark. It a well balanced rifle - probably due to the slim cylinder. The GSX200 has a larger bottle that will bring the weight forward. I have a 17 shot .177 mag. I can empty 4 1/2 of these before I need to refil the air. The cylinder on my rifle says that it has an swp of 220bar but, I only ever fill to 200bar. The American Walnut stock is very nice. Ive never been a fan of floating barrels but, this all feels well made and sturdy. The up-back-down-up-forward-down cocking procedure isn't as smooth as the HW100s but, it is

    Welcome to the world of spring rifle tuning mate I must have had my TX apart 15 times before I was completely happy ....... I had everything from 4 to 19ftlb This was my first and, perseverance is key. I'm over the moon with it now. It's a .22 running at just over 11ftld and it's nice to shoot. Also, it's very satisfying that I've done it myself. Atb with yours

    There used to be a big old sikh bloke that lived by us, he had 2 of them. He used to walk them along the Thames where we were fishing. That was in the early 90s when we were kids. They'd walk either side of him and do exactly as they were told. If he said 'friend', they'd put their heads down and let us stroke them. If he said 'smile' they'd lift their lip. He ruled over those dogs and they served him well. He had a shop on our estate for years - it was only ever boken into once.

    Ooh I don't think I could push the button in the original post but, this one would make me stop and think.

    Same here. grandad moved from Wales to work on the railways when he was a lot younger. He used to fight to top up his money. He's in 90s now but, he's still got fists like canon balls. I'm fecked if I'd give it a go.

    I've said it before - he needs help, not a prison sentence. He did a few tours where he's responsible for his lads lives, not just his own - lads whose wives and kids he knows. That's a lot of pressure. He was a professional soldier and, by his own admission, he's well aware of the rules of engagement and the Geneva convention. He's been failed and hung out to dry when, he should have been helped. Yes a bollocking was due but, so was help from the people that he served. It's the same old story - they take a young recruit, break him down, build him into a capable killer then, aband

    Give them a go mate. I'd advise targets at different ranges at first to make sure that they will actually hit what you aim at with consistency. If that's all good, I'd probably fire some at a dry piece of 2x4 to see what the penetration is like - again at different ranges. Then, if you're happy, use them An accurate .22 at that weight will be a stopper. You just need to learn what it does when it leaves the barrel. Atb

    It'll come My first one, when I returned to the sport after being away for 20yrs, was a rabbit. And that was on the 3rd visit to a permission that was absolutely jumping with them I'm in no rush JJ, Jimmy & Sean are keeping me on the straight and narrow ?? That's good mate...... I was a 16yr old knocking over squirrels with a .22 BSA Mercury Challenger (I'd give my left testicle to have that rifle back)........ roll on 20yrs - I was a 36yr old with a PCP on a very steep learning curve and no one to show me the way. I'd put a lot of time in on targets but, without the benef

    It was a really funny situation And that girl on the quad is an animal - she throws the thing around and slides close to the trees like she's indestructible Is she good looking Top class as all ways JJ :thumbs: Cheers Mac She's not bad, quite a short broad farm girl.

    Yeah shot it from behind.. straight through the shoulder blades and neck!!After my fall out with jsb quality I'm back Sticking with the heavys in both .177's so aim points are the same in both riflles ! That vodka is lovely too, you should try it Atb si Nice Fair comment on the trajectories - I'm using Heavies in the Impact so, that could work for me. I'll have a look and see what the fps is like I can't do vodka mate I got absolutely smashed on it a couple of times when I was young and silly - those memories of throwing it up out of my nose are hard to forget
  17. Jonjon79
    Cheers Dave. Hope you're well mate
  18. Jonjon79
    Did the shot tear it's crop open Si? I might have another look at my 97 with JSB Heavies It's bang on accurate with FAPs but, it did give a nice group with heavies at the club a few weeks ago.

  21. Jonjon79
    Cheers Steg, I'm not quite at Simons poetic level mate. I just bang on and hope for the best
  22. Jonjon79
    Is it sorted now Nelly?
  23. Jonjon79
    Cheers BN. I forgot to add - having a good walk about during the day, we found a couple more places for rabbits and an old hollow tree with more squirrels living in it
  24. Jonjon79
    I think you're right mate that was such a satisfying shot. Conference is definitely building ..... It's just a shame that I can't fit NV on the TX. The missus is off to Sainsburys shopping tonight and, I don't have to get up tomorrow
