    If it ain't bust don't fix it!

    Interesting, I have the Stainless SPS in .308 and the stock flexes if someone sneezes in the next county. But it can deliver 150g PRVI SP to 1", and not much will argue with that! I have not bedded a rifle before, never needed to, so is this possible with such a flexible stock, does the bedding add enough rigidity to the stock to make it work/be worthwhile. May be a stupid question, I'm no expert on bedding! (well, not rifles anyway! )

    You need to look at this as a much bigger picture.... why do fly rods exist if YOU only ever go Sea fishing, why do Indian takeaways flourish when YOU can't stand them and only do Chinese, etc.,. Lots of people have a specific need/use for a FAC air, after all, if you don't you will not be granted one! Also remember this is not all about recreational shooting, to some people a decent selection of rifles is simply a tool box!

    Because in the vast majority of cases peoples longest is NOT repeatable on a daily basis, that is the whole nature of it being the LONGEST, therefore it was a one off or lucky or unethical to start with "for most". The question begs an unreasonable answer from any except those that suggest they never take shots outside their comfort zone, and as I have said, by the nature of the question, LONGEST is outside the comfort zone of most! The question wasn't, what is your cut off point, at what distance do you stop shooting with any given calibre, it was, What is your longest!

    I hope you took on board my response was very tongue in cheek!

    No it does not have .22 hornet performance, 20 grain bullet at 300 fps compared a 35 grain bullet at 3100fps you do the maths You're right that 300fps 20g round doesn't really shape up against 3100fps 35g! Where is the edit button when you need it?

    I'm not really following this, I think it is pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain that two similar types of bullet, but one carrying approx. twice the energy of the other is likely to do more damage, do we need a video to show this? and...BOTH of those were about as UNscientific as you can get, even different containers on the first. For those that may find this a surprise try a .22lr and a .243 next to it, which do you think may do the most damage?

    So what, what does it matter what you, me, or Uncle Tom Cobly can do, shoot within your capabilities. Throw a coin up in the air enough times and one day it will land on its edge! Virtually everyones LONGEST shots will be planned and worked out with experience, BUT, will also involve an element of luck.

    If thats in reference to what I said, tbh that's not what I was doing, just observing that head shots are usually more effective and to my mind it makes you a better shot if you have to be more precise. I'd personally buy a HMR over a .22 any day so don't take my post as anti-hmr. If you want the real truth, I'm holding out to see what the .17 wsm finally brings to the table before deciding to go for an FAC as it promises much greater power, more silence, less recoil, little wind drift and more accuracy. ....and there is that wonderful cop out Usually Everyone does what th

    Makes you wonder why they went bust, or was it because of the stale cigarette smoke smell in the whole place, or the fact they simply didn't know what they were on about and tried to offload whatever they had! ...but, on the plus side, I had a few cups of tea out of them

    Zero distance is down to requirements/situation, tools/equipment and the shooter. As others have said, a 31ft lb air rifle will seldom be the tool to use on a regular basis at 70 yards. My FAC Air runs at about 26ft lb and my pellet of Choice is AA field 5.51, works a treat for me, but certainly at 30ft lb +++ the Bisley Magnum is seriously worth considering. After that it is .22lr with 45ft lb Quiets, or subs around 100ft lb.
  14. Deker
    This is a commonly asked question, and of course everyone knows the BEST way to clean their rifle. Just the same, perhaps a pinned version covering the basics may be an idea! There must have been some half decent responses historically that a pinned version could be based on.
  15. Deker
    This really is designed for longer distances, no reason not to use it on a .2lr with subs though, for which there is a strong argument for this type of scope, perhaps you should suggest to them they do a Rimfire or .22lr version!
  16. Deker
    Ok, perhaps it was me who didn't put it across clearly ..... I hear what you say and do and what happens...but that doesn't add up, something is happening somewhere and I can see nothing obvious, but to repeat, scope!?
  17. Deker
    Are the baffles in the mod falling apart? It seems odd, and frankly that doesn't help a lot, but I can't really see it being anything but the scope, but I still don't really get it after that description?
  18. Deker
    I'm not sure why, but that does seem to be the case, I don't seem to have missed anything in the field with split brass, but on a slightly more scientific footing, I used the HMR at 100 yards at Bisley last Sunday, 11 shots, 3 split cases but it didn't show in POI, so.........

    Everyone will have an opinion and of course everyone is right. For my money, I hate the things with a vengeance and wouldn't let one anywhere near any of my rifles!
  20. Deker
    The trigger can wave about like a flag, the stock can contact the barrel as much as you like, ammo can even be clipping the mod (do you have one?) none of that will make it keep losing zero, IF you can set the zero up! As long as everything is bolted on tight and stays bolted on tight the problem is very likely to be the scope!
  21. Deker
    The Style was not designed to have a Floating Barrel, and it hardly matters anyway on a HMR, virtually everyone who mounts a bipod on any of the plastic stock CZ Rimfires, and many of the wood stocks, ends up contacting the barrel, so does anyone who uses a sling, they tend to be rather flexible!

    I've been lucky to be fair Rimmer. Although i did have to wait quite a while for something last year and was getting p****d off so i gave them a call. That left me feeling worse as the bloke on the end of the phone was totally uninterested..... From what i've been told, (i may be wrong) Pete doesn't actually run the company, or "man the phones". But his personality is such that i don't think you'd get much change out of him either! He's what you would call an "aquired taste" Recently i was in his shop. My god is it an Alladins cave!! I heard a posh customer ask him if he prefered to be cal

    As others have said...... ....and what ammo, barrel length, do you have a mod, scope mount height, etc., the fact is the arc will probably make it similar to 50 yards.

    They will NOT fragment very well, they are Jacketed HP, they will peel back and expand mushroom fashion, or go clean through depending where you hit the fox, possibly both. Just exactly where do you think you were hitting these foxes, because whatever you may think, if you put one of these in the right place the fox will fall down! "rezerod 1.5" high at 100yds as per usual" WHY, if you are shooting foxes -120, why are you not zeroed at 100 yards, and just where is the zero if you are 1.5" high at 100 yards?? Most of my fox's are shot between 100 and 300 yards if i hold crosshairs o
