    I've just seen that somewhere else, and whilst I am in no way trying to defend the dog boys, those are pets who simply wanted to play with the fox. That whole episode leaves a LOT of questions!

    I have already made a comment on this elseware, a slightly longer term review would be useful. Seems a potentially worthwhile investment!

    I have very little knowledge of this rifle, is it .177 or .22 or what? AA field used to come in 3 x .22 sizes, 5.5, 5.51 and 5.52, same equivalent in .177 I think. The 5.5 have gone now, look at the bottom of the tin, it will tell you what size you have. If you are talking about a true .22 you may want to consider Eley Wasp Blue!

    bloody hell andy i phoned chambers where i bought the really expensive fcukin washer and specifically asked should i use SILICONE oil and was told definitely no i had to use thin engine oil WTF !!!! so now what should i do mate ? If I said ignore Chambers, who have been doing this for donkeys, sold you the part, and have a bigger selection of air rifle parts than probably anyone in the world, and told you to soak it in dog piss, then who would you believe?

    Nothing wrong with these, I had one of the VX3 4.5-14x40 Long Range 2 or 3 years back, moved it on very quickly, it was not the world changing experience I was hoping for, hopefully the 50mm will be better. Just the same I consider them well overpriced!

    My region make a stack of mistakes, including at one time issuing me with an AUTOMATIC shotgun (not Semi). The fact is I have been dealing with them for more years than I care to remember and I most commonly get my own way, that does need the odd phone call, the odd question and the odd time I have to educate the FEO! Talk to them, have a chat, see what you can do.

    ".....had some fun and wanted to buy my own just for some targets and tin can sort of stuff, dont see my self shooting rabbits or anything." Both the rifles you listed would be fine for this, virtually every respondant has suggested you will want something better if you start on the bunnies. That is as may be, not everyone does, if you are intending just some targets and tin can sort of stuff, as you say, then you will have fun with these! If you want to move up to shooting live things then I would suggest you want better than some have suggested, so stick with it and get what you

    Nope, it is well known that I sell NiteSite, and the reason that I sell them is that they are an excellent product, I spent several months looking at them and researching before I took the product on. Their reliability, backup and service are first class, the product offers exceptional performance and price, and the products sells well. ...and if anyone is actually interested they are made in England. The vast majority of people who have them find them excellent, but as I have already said, nothing is perfect and nothing stands still, the product will evolve, making an already great p

    Nothing is perfect, but you have to look at this in the real world, comparing it with things that cost 2x 3x 4x or more expensive is daft, and frankly THEY are well overpriced, so why is it just NiteSite that is attracting pricing attention. It is probably the best, most versatile and cheapest systems on the market and has brought Night Vision into the realms of many more people. Sure you can can build your own night vision, you can build your own kit car, install your own central heating, etc etc, but there are those that chose not to. NiteSite have a first class product, there ar

    Of course your employer can take a copy, there is nothing illegal about photocopying a FAC/SGC. Whether you are happy, or what relevance it has to your work is a matter for you and them.

    That's as maybe and is potentially a topic for another thread, but it doesn't address ANY of my comments above. I have disected your post, you have made no defence of it or justified any part of it, your response has simply been to call me a ******. You are very welcome to your opinion of me but name calling serves no useful purpose on a forum.

    Checking the centre of the windage and elevation turrets is always a good idea prior to mounting any scope, but the primary benefit is for first and true zero on Elevation, windage does not have this problem! :laugh: It seems like it's timwest bashing season, it's not meant to be, but come on, are you 'avin a larf!
  13. Deker
    basically in most products today you are paying for the name, such as clothing and things. however with scopes your not. your cheaper scopes are good for air rifles. but when you get upto the bigger calibers such as a .243 there are several requirements. you must have a scope that will resist the recoil and hold zero. Plenty of springers crack just as much as a .243, it is hardly violent! i presume you are wanting a 243 for foxes and deer? so you will need a scope with a decent magnification to take the longer shot. Are you suggesting cheaper scopes don't have magnification if shooting foxes a

    well to ensure you maintain them groups and to hit a fox you may need different bullets. my rifle tends to like cci stingers. these are deadly. after you buy new bullets you will need to re zero your rifle. if your after the odd fox for the farmer i would bait the foxes. find a spot that is well camouflaged. i usually use bedroom window but you may have to improvise lol, then set your bait out at a sensible distance, say 50 yards. this way you know that your fox will be in range. i usually use felix cat food. as this brings the foxes in well. the beauty of baiting is that whatever range you de

    If the fox was close enough to ensure a clean kill with a shotgun, it is plenty close enought to ensure a clean kill with a .22lr and subs!
  16. Deker
    if you measure side on from the front of the fox to the back, there is roughly 10 inches. and 4 inches high. how can you not see that? hit a fox within that range and itll die :hmm: Yes, very likely, but it may take till next week!
  17. Deker
    Hell, why wouldn't you try it? If it doesn't work for you PM me for my addresss and I'll take it off your hands!

    As usual... WHAT I HAVE! The fact is there are very few bad makes out there, (obviously the odd individual dog). It comes down to what you want and best suits your need. For example, xc10mike above, I wouldn't give that monster house room, because I don't need it, he probably would not want any of the tools I use, that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the guns! I like and use light guns, I have no need for anything else in the field! My bog standard selection of .223/.243/.308, they do for me on the centrefire front!

    Oooh.... Nice!! Mk5/6?? Give me a couple of weeks and i'll make you an offer (bought loads recently so i'm a little skint ) Cheers, John Its GJ, so I understand that makes it a Mk V 1971-1974
  20. Deker
    Yeah, its worth it. Whatever mod you put on a 22-250 it is still going to be noisy, but it's ******* noisy without one!

    Any make of .25 does not readily lend itself to much sensible use in 12 ft lb! 40-50ft lb in FAC, it may have a few more uses!
  23. Deker
    Mine straight out of the box, note the similarities! :thumbs:
  24. Deker
    i had a camo version of that with a shorter barrell carnt remember the name of the maker now Mine is the Magtech 7022 made by CBC in Brazil but its the same as the Mossberg 702, just £100 cheaper, mine only cost £150 BRAND new last December, Threaded and complete with iron sights! One or two other variations about!

    Never owned one, never will. Shot one, wouldn't group less than 4 inches I think at 50 yards, didn't try it at 100, didn't think it'd hit the A4 page. Tried about 7 different types of ammo in it. Told the young lad to bring it back and throw it in over the counter at the twat that sold him it. Pure piece of sh1t, he'd have been better off buying a shotgun. Yeah, I'd do the same with that performance, something was not right there! As I have said above, they are not as accurate but the difference is hardly worth talking about for field work. For the vast majority and a one time
