    Poor Child

    Jonjon79 replied to Wxm's topic in General Talk

    We have 2 Chihuahuas. They're the same as any dogs - bring them up right, train them properly and, make sure that they know their place, then they're fine. Yes, they can have strong personalities and be wilful but, that doesn't have to be a negative. The problems start when idiots think it's cute to have a grumpy little dog or, when they treat the f**king things as if they were kids. I imagine the grandmother in the story used hers for company and treated it as a substitute child. People like that have no clue and shouldn't be allowed to keep anything other than a gold fish. Ours a

    I tried it out last night and, it works well. I forgot it was on there at first so, I went straight to the lever. Once I got used to it, it seemed quite an easy, natural action - just lift your hand slightly and pull back from the middle of the stock. I only fired 9 shots last night but, the lever didnt move at all. It is a lot of money for what is essentially a little bit of plastic but, I think it'll be very useful when wearing gloves.

    Nice rifle Phil. As already said, these springers take a fair bit of practice. I think a light hold and finding your own way that works is key. That is a very nice looking stock. I recently oiled my walnut stock and darkened it a little - it's about the same shade as yours now. There's others on here with a hell of a lot more stock finnishing experience than me but, I reckon yours should have a neutral coloured oil - Just enough to show that grain and those stripes. Also, personally, for a pure shooting experience and genuine satisfaction, I believe that you have just purchased th

    Well done mate I got bugger all on my first trip.
  8. Jonjon79
    I do like those. I bought mine in .22, partly because I had a .22 springer when I was a kid. Mine likes FAPs.

    And a couple more......

    I can't remember where I first saw these - it was on one of the forums. I thought it seemed a good idea but, didn't really think any more about it. I popped round a mates place a few nights ago and, he had one on his rifle. I had a quick go and ended up really liking it. I ordered this on Sunday night and it arrived this morning. It's 3d printed. It feels lightweight but strong. It is a snug fit on the lever - the instructions say that this is by design and that the grub is just there to make sure that it's solid. It does advise against over tightening the screw as you could strip the

    Nice one. Nasty little opportunists. I'm glad you spotted them before they could do any damage.

    This permission is just full of rabbits , over the last 4 visits shot about 50-60 rabbits and looking through the NV the other night , it was like a city at night with all the lights on and that is how many rabbits there were :D

    Nice shooting Matt! I'm the same as you - I don't relish those long shots. I also like having to use a bit of field craft to get a good shot. But, I do believe that the maths works - as you saw There's some good clips on Vermin Hunters tv of calibration and long range work using Chairgun. Nice write up mate and, cracking result

    It's a gorgeous day Rez. I'm stuck at work when I should be laying on the grass listening to the birds singing and watching a burrow.
  16. Jonjon79
    Cheers Pix, I may well do. My daughters got a stash of those and FAPs in .177 for her HW30 It's not that I really favour light pellets, indeed, I think the heavier pellets work better in this rifle. I just can't help experimenting. I'm probably looking for that eurika moment when something random amazes me

    ....... but then, same AA Express, same distance, same position, did this 14 shot group straight after the last lot. I'm happier with this.
  18. Jonjon79
    I gave these another run this morning. 4 and 5 shot groups over 30yrds. For comparison, I put them against my JSB Heavies because these shoot so well for me. To give an idea of scale, the black dots are 7mm. I wasn't overly impressed with them from these results......

    I hate shooting springers with a hangover Nice bag. I reckon that would have been tasty with some mixed veg, gravy and a shortcrust top
  20. Jonjon79
    I prefer the looks of the original sporter. For me, this looks too square and boxy. I dont know why they didn't just put an adjustable cheek piece in - I know they can do it well.
  21. Jonjon79
    Lol, no worries mate Some pretty fine shooting all round...... looks like I've got some catching up to do
  22. Jonjon79
    Cheers Mark. No, I don't mind you pissing on my bonfire at all mate It's always good to see how small a group can be

    I've seen AA Express recommended a few times on a couple of different forums now. I've had a tin in my shooting box for a while. They got pushed to the back after they wouldn't group well with one of my old rifles. I gave them a whirl this morning in my HW100kt .177. Nothing scientific, just 14 shots at paper, 30yrds, indoors. For comparison, I also did a mag of my favourite JSB Heavies and, some big ol' H&N Sniper magnums - these things weigh 16gr - I shoot .22s lighter than that I was impressed with the AA Express. They were fast and accurate. I'll try to give them a pr

    Nice shooting Chris. I'm liking the warm evenings
