    I can think of worse places to just sit and watch the evening come in

    Cheers Si. I hope so, it's definitely a learning curve I'm not listening to that nasty Mac. Did you hear how much work his horrible German rifle needed before it would work properly?

    ..... Also, the firing cycle feels more snappy now. I think this is because the seal is starting to wear to the inside of the chamber. I don't mind this - I think the quick cycle helps me with accuracy. The original Air Arms piston was 218 grams. The new ally one is 142 grams.

    I had another play with it again this morning - I pumped the cocking arm a few times and put 20 shots through it to get it warmed up. I was using the FAPs again. I then gave it 10 shots through the Combro......

The lower group is 8 shots standing, leaning against a door frame. This is my best e

    Weird things can happen when you're out hunting. Especially at night

    Cold McDonald ffs! Kids are little blank canvasses - we can make the best of them if we chose to. Some parents (Not all) are just lazy twats. Healthy packed lunches can be made on a budget......... we manage it. Don't get me started on the kids that don't do homework because the parents are too feckin lazy to help/push them.

    That's the beauty of them mate - nice rifles and, they're not over-engineered. I've only been back to air rifles for just over a year so, my TX seems to be the perfect thing for me to tinker with. I've built up a small collection of parts - seals, pistons, springs. I had mine apart again today - gave it a good degrease and polish inside. I fitted a lightweight ally piston - it's longer than the AA one but, shorter than the AA one with a TBT short stroke kit fitted. I put a Vmach seal on and used a Titan spring. Regreased it all and reassembled. The Vmac seal was was a little tight

    I just had a look at her Twitter page. To be honest, I just get the impression that she's never been laid properly

    My .177 Kt really isn't fusy. It'll shoot a lot of pellets well at 30-40yrds but, it's best pellet by far is JSB Heavy (10.34gn) - it gives good groups with these out to 60yrds and, they hit hard.

    We always use brochures, selotaped together, against a paving slab in he back of the shed. My daughters first rifle was a .22 SMK XS501. It was a lot of fun. Early last year, the backstop behind the brochures was a sheet of ply that had a baton screwed on to it, about 3ft up, to rest the brochures on. I took a couple of shots at it from 27yrds while the Co2 was low. The last shot hit the ply below the target, bounced straight back and hit me on the top of the head. My missus nearly pissed herself laughing.

    It is fun trying to master it. It's also bloody frustrating at times. I've wanted to get my TX by the barrel and lob it down the range more than once. Mine is doing well with FAPs. I tend to stark a session resting on a long V shaped bag, filled with rice - it's heavy and stable. Once I manage a good run of decent shots, I then change to resting on my hand. If the session goes well, I'll try some standing shots. As already said, there's no substitute for practice and, to be honest mate, if I can improve, anyone can. By the way, that last group is bang on. You should be very happy w

    ..... It didn't take long for us all to leg it into the clubhouse for a cuppa

    It was a wet one yesterday. Thank god the shooting bench is well covered It started off with thunder at around 2pm - Over the next 2 hours it was a mixture of torrential rain and hail. On the plus side, I still managed to hit a 5mm spinner at 30yrds through the weather

    I'm all for Black power. It's cheaper than gas (Someone was going to say it eventually )

    Rip indeed. I can't think of anything worse for a parent than the death of a child. Poor kid

    Nice one LH ..... Google Sgt Craig Harrison. I reckon you might like his story
  19. Jonjon79
    ......... I fully agree Mac - 100%
  20. Jonjon79
    No, don't do it. They're German shite. Buy a TX and, vote out Ah, feck it - they're excellent rifles, go and buy one - you wont be disappointed Still vote 'Out' though
  21. Jonjon79
    Wow, that really has seen better days. It's going to be interesting to watch this come back to life. Good on ya Mac
  22. Jonjon79
    I know that feeling - it drives my missus mental I just remind her that it's like her in them feckin shoe shops
  23. Jonjon79
    I'll second that. I wouldn't be without my HW100. Also, as Pianoman says, TX200hc is very good.
  24. Jonjon79
    Bloody hell, that is a compact rifle - my daughter has a Ratbag for her HW30 so, that gives me some perspective Nice rifle I'm looking forward to hearing how she gets on hunting with it.
  25. Jonjon79
    Good result My shooting buddy uses the same rifle - it's a very nice piece of kit.
