    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.

    Lol, no worries mate Some pretty fine shooting all round...... looks like I've got some catching up to do

    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

    Get him to one of those gun theme parks in America Can you imagine the smile on that lads face after he's fired a few .50 rounds through steel discs

    Cheers Charlie. Alrhough the Polymags were accurate for me up to 40yrds, I have pretty much written them off now because they won't hold their accuracy further out. I never take hunting shots at silly distances but, I do like the reassurance that a pellet will stay accurate past where I need it to be. I know that may sound daft. Good shout on the Baracuda Hunter Extreme. I tested these a while ago in .177, .22 & .25 - all sub 12. For me, the .177 did well to 50yrds and had good stopping power at around 35yrd. The .22 (in a Tx) and the .25 (in a Matardor) were both good between 3

    I've chopped and changed a few nice rifles over the last year - Airwolf, S510, Matador, Ultra and some others. In my opinion, the HW100kt with adjustable laminate stock beats them all hands down. It's a good looking rifle and, in it's carbine form, it handles very nicely however I shoot. It has a weight and feel that gives a reassuring impression of being solidly built. The magazine system is well designed and easy to use. It's also impossible to doubleload. The mag its self is a solid piece with no moving parts to go wrong. The trigger is very good - even I managed to eas

    That is a nice way to spend a warm day

    Good lad. Very nice shot placement on that rabbit.

    If it's an rfd that you know and are friendly with, he'll probably do it for free and, if it's a little over, he'll probably give you some advice. As already said, get yourself some sort of chrono. I use a Combro to keep an eye on my rifles. They're relatively cheap, they work well and, after sales service is good.

    Just for comparison, this is 14 quick shots, also at 58yrds, with JSB Heavies. At that range, it needed a 2 mildot hold over.
  17. Jonjon79
    Final update folks....... I shot this group at 58yrds this morning. Again, indoors, prone, off a bipod. Obviously I'm not worried about the drop at that range, that what my reticle is for. However, the grouping is shite. ......Well, that's another tin destined for the forgotten corner at the bottom of the box.

    Nice shooting. Good looking dog

    Billy's like... "Only f'kin two?!?! Pahahahahaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaah. Ha." I didn't need 2 mates and a wheelbarrow for those 2 :D

    It is a bit of a lump. It's an A&M Marksman. I've found it to be quieter than HW, Huggett and BSA vc mods. The cover doesn't help. It's a neoprene cover that was too big until I modified it.

    Back to my favourite rugby club permission last night. The conditions were perfect - no moonlight, very little wind and, it wasn't cold. I had around 110bar in my HW100 - from tests, I know this is where its power peaks a little The first took a pellet just as it stood up. He fell over and gave me a little wave with his back leg. The second was in long grass, near the top of a large mound, about 45yrds away. I could see eye shine and ears. I steadied the rifle on my stick and aimed at the top of his head. I couldn't see him go down but, there's no mistaking the sound of a hit from

    Congratulations Mac and, Atb to little 'un. He'll be a shooter - younger siblings always want to follow the older ones

    If you like the TX but you're on a budget, it might be worth looking at a Bam b40. It's basically a Chinese TX clone. I haven't heard anything about them for a while but, I seem to remember reading good reviews. I think I also read somewhere that parts are interchangeable with Air Arms parts.

    Hmm, it looks like my theory was wrong about the longer pellets being more stable. Maybe the shorts are more stable because they have less mass. Cheers for the update Phil.

    Fantastic. Give 'em hell Tiz It's great to see more girls enthusiastic about the sport - my daughter loves it. Well done to Mac for helping another young 'un in. Keep us posted on her progress - it'll be nice to hear.
