  10. scopes

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    I agree, I find 16 mag is more than enough for a sub 12. I have a hawke vantage 6-24X50 and although it's a decent enough scope, I never use the power. Whichever you choose, avoid the man justification of bigger, with more bells and whistles must be better. If not, you'll end up spending a lot of dosh and be disappointed.

  11. Which is best? HW97 or TX200HC

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    Old argument I know but having both, I would like to weigh in with my thoughts.

    When I'm shooting well (by my standards) the HW 97 is fantastic but far more hold sensitive than the TX. I can spend an hour not being able to hit a cow's arse, then suddenly click and hit half inch groups at 50 metres. I'll then go for a fag break and I'll be back to square 1.

    Today I took out  my TX for it's first outing, zeroed bang on in 6 shots and proceeded to hit everything on the range with ease. All that, straight from the box with only the shop's chrony test pellets through it. Even after a break, I carried on where I left off. I can't believe how good it is. The only thing I would possibly change is to make the trigger a bit heavier as sometimes it would release too easily.

    Any thoughts?

  14. Cheap .22 Break Barrel

    Hi guys, Sorry I've not been on for a while but I wanted to give the HW99s a good run out before posting. 

    I was surprised at how light it is and how easy it is to shoot. I'm shooting it far better than my HW97KT .177. It's less hold sensitive. There's more muzzle flip and recoil than I would like so I'm saving the pennies for a tuneup.

    Thanks guys. I looked at the HW80 but it's a bit more than I wanted to spend. I wasn't aware of BSA quality issues but I've tried their PCPs and they were awesome.

    I was thinking of the HW99s because if it is any good, it might be a good candidate for good tune up (maybe Sandwell Field Sports). Add that to the cost of a high end HW and we're talking good quality PCP money.

    I've bought from Redbeck before( both my other rifles). Do they let you try them out before buying?

    Cheers guys, I was looking at BSAs and other HWs and it is 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other. I've already got a Walther PCP and an HW97kt so I want to have a good Break Barrel to add to the collection and let's face it, you can never have too many guns.

  24. Parallax

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Parallax is where the image you're looking at is not focused in the same place inside the tube as the Reticle. It shows itself when you move your head slightly, the cross hairs seem to move, and you appear to be looking around the cross hairs. The more the parallax is out, the more the cross hairs seem to move. You should set your parallax on your scope to whatever range you are shooting at (either the large barrel at the front of the scope or the left hand turret. These settings however are only a rough guide. Next you look through the scope and move your head slightly left and right, checking for reticle movement. If it moves, gradually adjust your parallax until the reticle doesn't move. At this point, the Parallax is properly set and the image should be pin sharp.
